Attentive and Responsive

It was a delight working with Mr. Kirk. He kept me updated with the progress in my case and whenever there were updates with the legal document he made sure I had a chance to review them to ensure my personal information was disclosed correctly. He kept me reassured we were making progress in my cas...e and I entrusted him completely that we would arrive at a satisfactory result. I highly recommend Mr. Kirk for his legal service as he has great attention to his clients.

Excellent Attorney

I have worked with hundreds of attorneys all over the nation. Robert is one of the most detailed consumer orientated attorneys nationwide. He is always very respectful of his clients and If I needed an attorney he would be one of the first ones I would hire.

Unprofessional and Rude

First two interactions with Kirk Roberts, he was rude and unprofessional . He made easy some easy money of me, and didn’t add any value. Later, he got really nasty and dropped another case.

It is difficult to know if this from someone I represented or from an opposing party, as the "rating" is made with out any context or attribution as to who posted this. If I take a case on I do not drop clients without notice or for a valid reason. If this is from a unhappy opposing party who lost his case to my deserving client, I am sorry you feel a need to misuse this rating service. If it is from a actual former clent I hope you can call me to discuss what your grievances are in a positive conversation.

Solid Attorney and good to work with!

Kirk is a solid attorney and did a nice job at handling my case. He is knowledgable, practical and has a good depth of experience. Very responsive with communication and willing to listen and understand your position. We worked as a team and had a favorable case result.

Greedy Lawyer

In 30 min payed consultation of what is considered an easy name change issue, Kirk spent 5 min listening and asking condescending questions. After that he was "selling" me his services and refused to even point to the right direction. English is not my first language and court procedures could be a b...it confusing, but I was hoping for some guidance that Kirk did not have for me. If your situation is similar to mine, he would try to get everything he can from you, giving very little in return. I cannot recommend him at all. Worst costumer service. Greedy lawyer.

I am sorry you had a bad experience during the FREE consultation I provided to you. I did not receive any payment from you or your referral source. At the end of our conversation I understood that you had, or would, be accessing the court website I directed you to, so you could proceed with a "do it yourself" name change, as you did not want me to represent you in filing it on your behalf, after I answered all of your questions. However, if you still do have some general questions about the process, you should please feel free to call me back to discuss, and I will do everything I can to answer your questions. However, attorney's do not give specific legal advice on matters until they are retained, as the providing of specific legal advice creates a attorney-client relationship, with professional responsibilities beyond inquires associated with FREE consultations.

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2019.

Reprimand issued in OR, 2019

updated on 12/03/2020

This means the lawyer did something wrong but the bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.

Kirkland’s comment:

“I was hired by a client on a car crash claim, who then hired a 2nd lawyer on the same claim, after I had spent considerable time on the case. Before we could reach agreement on the terms for release of the file, I mailed a letter to client and the 2nd lawyer notifying of the need to file the claim before the deadline for filing the claim expired. While I made a mistake in communicating w/ client when he had a new lawyer, my intent was to protect the client, so he would not miss the deadline.”
