Graham David Kirkman

The family court system is terrifying every time you go. It is unpredictable at best and detrimental for children at worst. Graham came highly recommended by a close friend. This was my 3rd round, each with different representation. I could not be happier with how the case was handled. I felt that Gr...aham heard my position, was clear and honest about expectations, fought for the best interest of my daughter, and handled the case in the best possible manner. Communication was consistent and concise, recommendations were on point with what the case needed, and the outcome finally protected a child who needed her voice heard.

I engaged Graham Kirkman as my attorney to help with my child custody matters. He did a great job at informing and educating me of the entire process. He is very knowledgeable, detailed-oriented, and hands on attorney. I appreciate all the help from him in every step of my case. I am very happy with ...the results and will definitely recommend him to anyone who needs help with child custody.

You cannot put a price on spending time with your child or establishing a safe foundation for them. Graham Kirkman helped me achieve both – while maintaining great communication and guidance throughout the legal process. Filing a restraining order/custody arrangement was one of the most challenging m...oments in my life. I’m incredibly thankful for the support from Graham and his team; I highly recommend hiring Graham.

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.
