Graham David Kirkman

Graham was awesome for my wife and me, as we navigated a separation, and ultimately ended up reconciling. He was very professional, fair, and made both of us feel very at ease during the process. I would recommend Graham without hesitation, he's a genuinely good human being, with great integrity an...d morals.

Graham is very professional, and handles himself with integrity in and out of the courtroom. Meetings were held at his office when necessary, which is a great environment with an awesome staff. A lot of our communications were through email, which is convenient. Graham was conscious of the fact th...at getting divorced can be a pricey adventure, and would often handle things in the most cost efficient way while still ensuring that my best interests were being represented. He is easy to talk to, and does a great job of articulating what can be a confusing and long process.

My wife of 14 years and I went to mediation for 15 months but were unable to settle our divorce. She did whatever she could do to postpone finalizing our divorce. The main issue for me was that I wanted my 15-year old daughter to have the choice to live at whichever parent's home she wanted and for t...he time she wanted. Other than getting the divorce over with, I did not care about much else. My wife's attorney cleverly tried to come up with every possible way to drag things on, too. After interviewing a number of attorneys, I met with Graham Kirkman and Morgan Levanger at Nelson Kirkman (please see my separate review of Morgan). The other lawyers I saw seemed to tell me whatever they thought I wanted to hear, tried to convince me that I didn’t want to pay my wife the money I was happy to pay, and told me things about the prospective timeline that I knew could not be true. Alternatively, Graham responded candidly to my questions, with little concern for how I might react. He gave me the possible worst-case scenarios for how things might go. So, I hired him and Morgan. The guy is wicked smart, as well as conscientious and responsive. Graham, and everyone else at Nelson Kirkman, treat you like their priority, even when you know they have many other clients. Graham misses no details, and knows how to get you whatever you want. If I had wanted to pay less than half what I agreed to pay, it would have been easy to accomplish with Graham and Morgan at the helm. These guys are a team, and clearly a winning team. If you are dealing with a difficult divorce, Graham will ensure that a fair resolution is achieved.

Attorney Graham Kirkman took my divorce case. During my initial interview with him, he very quickly got into specifics of my divorce case and clearly explained case options and procedure steps the case should go through. He was very attentive, knowledgeable and impressed me by his professionalism, ...He and his office staff worked very efficiently, so that all documentations were finalized without any delay. I would highly recommend Graham Kirkman as attorney to anyone who need highly qualified resolution of his/her case.

My experience could not have been better. Graham was highly professional, always responsive to my questions and concerns, and amazingly knowledgeable even about a rather arcane feature of my case. Perhaps even more importantly, he was always a pleasure to speak with -- calm, respectful, and with a gr...eat sense of humor. If you have any experience with divorce lawyers, you will have encountered many who try to make you angry at your spouse, interpret every action they take as hostile, and just generally fan the flames so as to drag the case out as much as possible (and thus make themselves the most money). Graham was not like that *at all*. While he advised to hold firm on important issues, he always encouraged me to work with my spouse to resolve things amicably, so that we were often able to sideline attempts by their attorney to make matters worse. In the end, with Graham's help, we arrived at a resolution that my ex and I both feel good about. If you're anxious about your divorce and don't want to go scorched earth with your spouse, do yourself a favor and hire Graham.
