Graham Kirkman Assisted Me with a Restraining Order

During my consultation, I knew I had found the right person to represent me in an upcoming restraining order hearing. As questions arose, Graham quickly referenced the legal code on his computer and then communicated the pros and cons to various options. When in court to request a continuance,... Graham provided me with detailed, yet easy to understand information that was needed and was very professional.

Graham did a great job representing me in my divorce.

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.

Excellent Attorney!

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.

Best Lawyer

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.
