Never hire him man of my word

I read all the reviews and he did exactly all to me as well he’s the worstest attorney I ever had and he doesn’t know how to do his job right I also caught COVID-19 he told me don’t worry you don’t have to go to court and guess what he calls me back on my court date asking why I didn’t show up since ...then I knew the type of person I was dealing with I honestly feel like he’s no good man sad to say do not hire. At first it was a B.S case now what he wants me to take a deal that was offered when I had no hired attorney now that’s B.S

From a bad situaion to worse

I was involved in an accident and I carry a Commercial drivers license. My first court date I was not represented but offered a Reckless Driving with 2 points on my driving record from the Judge for resolution. I explained to her that I may seek professional legal help because that would be employmen...t suicide for me take such a charge. I hired Mrs. McAllister for $3,000. He told me its a bullshit case and he will be able to take care of it. 2 years later he is telling me D.A. isn't going to budge his offer Is RECKLESS DRIVING, WITH 30 DAYS JAIL, 40 HOURS COMMUNITY SERVICE AND FEES OF COURSE. I payed him $3,000 just to add jail time and community service to it??? I argued to Mr. McAllister why would I accept that??? He began to give me an attitude and raise his voice with me." Well I wasn't there that day and nor was the D.A." is what he said. I told him no jail time, he said "ok I will talk to him one last time" I watched Mr. McAllister like a Hawk watches a rat. He never approached the D.A. called him to the side nothing. He waits 15-20 minutes after handling another client of his. He approaches me, brings me to the small discussion room and tells me. "The D.A. has paperwork saying your first court date they offered you 60 days jail and Reckless Driving with Community service. Im thinking Mrs. McAllister being my lawyer, why would he allow the D.A. have something that he doesn't and wont be able to contest? Besides that Mr. McAllister is a complete liar, not competitive and is tired of what he does for a living. Be careful hiring someone with that many years in there in a specific occupation, they tend to get lazy, and just don't care and seem to think they are the Judge. He is embarrassing looking. Does not groom well at all. I just cant believe he f***** me like this. Think twice before hiring him

Game Changer

Kirk is an amazing criminal defense lawyer, he has a brilliant mind and a vast knowledge of trial law. I was accused of a crime I didn't commit. I have never been in trouble, as a law abiding citizen I had no idea what to do or where to begin. I was given a referral by a friend and from the moment I ...sat across from Kirk McAllister I felt confident that I was in good hands. After more than a year of ridiculous and petty charges the District Attorney had no choice but to drop all charges. I know if I hadn't had Kirk on my side I would most likely still be playing a game of cat and mouse with the DA.

Greatest ever

McAllister and firm have been life savers. I have needed their services many times over the past ten years and I have got nothing but informative answers to all my questions and a strong tactical defense team. In my opinion they are the greatest representation available in Modesto.

A paid dump truck!

Hired for a DUI. After reviewing the case before payment layed out a inpressevie defense strategy. Once paid slow to return phone calls and stated the case was week and followed through with nothing he layed out before getting paid. Save your money and go wit the court appointed dump truck instead of... the McAllisteddump truck.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
