Worst possible decision made

It’s like hiring yourself not sure if they know about law. Jacob D is someone who will take your money and say it’s best if you handle it. Will not talk to you are even listen to your case does what he wants probably spending your money while you are worried about your case so don’t go to these lawye...r. The website says aggressive litigator doesn't seem so Jacob is one who may not even fight for you but take your money. They are a joke

We are very proud that over the past seven years our firm has earned twenty-two 5-star reviews on Avvo. We invite you to read all of them. Our lead attorney, Bradley Kirk, is a certified specialist in trust and probate litigation and has tried over 100 trust/probate cases through to judgment. We are known to be a firm of tough litigators that obtain stellar results for clients in the most challenging complex trust and probate litigation cases. We don’t know who this particular poster is [they never contacted us before posting - and they posted anonymously], and we do not know any of our clients to have had this type of experience in working with us. We are certainly disappointed that this particular poster felt this way, but we will continue to work hard to ensure that our clients receive the highest quality legal representation available.

Great Attorney

Mr. Bradley (Brad) Kirk is an excellent attorney. I was very fortunate to find my way to Brad and his firm. Despite already having several legal actions on trust and elder issues brought against me in other venues, and one still pending, Brad was quickly able to master the complicated history, get ...to the heart of the legal matters, and provide invaluable guidance to me as a trustee, attorney-in-fact, and with my court accounting. Brad is an excellent communicator and is diligent, hard working, knowledgeable, creative, and smart. His (and his team's) preparation for depositions and skill during the depositions was amazing. We didn't ultimately go to trial, but Brad and his firm were thoroughly prepared to proceed. The final resolution of all matters was what I was seeking from the beginning. Along with Brad, it was also a pleasure to work with Jacob, Larissa and Christiaan. They were always professional, compassionate, honest and diligent. They went above and beyond, and I am very grateful to them.

Winning spirit

I had a very complicated case, not one that was easy to defend. I employed two attorneys prior to Brad who were unable to successfully resolve the case. Brad and his staff were thorough in their discovery and knowledge of the case from every angle. He was able to get us into mediation and negotiate... them down to 1/4 the cost of what they were suing me for. He was also able to avoid going to trial which save me hundreds of thousands of dollars. In addition to being a stellar attorney, he was always sensitive to my needs during a very difficult three-year period. With great confidence, I highly recommend his firm.

Trust Estate Lawsuit

I was introduced to Bradley Kirk 4 yrs. ago when I, as trustee of my mother's estate, was being sued by my sister. Bradley Kirk & Associates is a finely tuned, well oiled machine that represented me brilliantly. They are very knowledgeable, professional and through in every aspect of dealing with... Trusts and Estates. Mr. Kirk is dedicated to his clients and goes that extra mile to be sure that every aspects of his representation of you is perfect. Not only was I exonerated of any misdoings; I felt vindicated and pleased that my mother's estate was settled exactly as it was written. I have never had to deal with anything like this before but I feel that I was represented by the best. I highly recommend Bradley Kirk and his team to represent you in any of your Will, Trust or Estate Planning needs.

We got lucky with a terrific referral

We were referred to Bradley and team by another attorney and were so pleased with the professionalism, knowledge and diligence of the entire team. With the kind of legal dispute we were involved in, it was extremely emotional and disturbing. The team approached the case objectively, for a win for... all parties involved. Jacob, Christian and the entire team were patient and knowledgable, putting us at ease. We trusted we were in the best possible hands given this unfamiliar territory.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Although Brad is extremely knowledgeable in probate law his strengths lie his straightforward and pragmatic approach to litigation. He sees right to the heart of the problem and knows how to use the litigation process to bring out the best result possible for the client."

Litigation lawyer | Apr 02

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"By the time Brad got involved with this matter, there were 5 or 6 other attorneys sending self-serving paperwork with the court. Brad filed a simple set of paper that pinpointed the important issues, which served as an island from which the judge was able to regain control of the situation. Brad is now my top choice for probate court litigation."
