So grateful!!

I hired Graham to help me with a jurisdiction issue for divorce and custody. He was very helpful and knowledgeable with this issue and we won our case! I am so grateful! Also, everyone I talked to at this firm was extremely helpful and nice.

Compassionate Personable and Professional Family Law Attorney

For the last 20 months that I have worked with Graham and his team I have been provided the utmost support and constant contact and assistance. Everyone is always ready to help me and so very responsive. I don’t mean to compare the family law office practice to Nordstrom or Amazon but the client serv...ice level is exceptionally outstanding and most caring especially when coming to returning phone calls and emails. Graham also takes his time to educate me and to explain the whole divorce process and our legal system so you are fully aware of your options and also understanding the complete situation. Graham provided me valuable advice and recommendation. Throughout the entire process I felt cared for and supported through a very trying and difficult time. My husband and I have since reconciled and will continue to work strongly towards our marriage and can’t thank Graham and his team for all of their assistance. I appreciate so much and am so grateful. Thank you!!

An “Above and Beyond” Professional

Although my case has not yet ended, I have to say that Graham Kirkman has gone above and beyond to provide the best, professional services to me. As many know, Family Law cases are exhausting, scary and anxiety ridden. Graham and his staff have gone out of their way to always explain every step... along the way to me, even when I have a million questions and my mind is going in all different directions. My emails and phone calls are always answered in a timely manner. The days that we have court, he is always on time, cheerful and calming. While we are in the courtroom, he is very professional and full of knowledge. I am thankful that I was able to obtain Graham Kirkman and his staff for my Family Law case. He has made a very difficult situation, a little less full of anxiety and fear for me. I would recommend him to any of my friends, colleagues or anyone looking for a professional, caring, knowledgeable Family Law Lawyer

Stellar communication and representation

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.

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.
