Kirk Griffin

Kirk has represented me on three occasions over the past decade regarding spousal maintenance issues after a long marriage leading to divorce. On all three occasions, Kirk was responsive and supportive. He was clear and thorough and was always conscientious about my limited financial circumstances. H...e was resourceful and down to earth at gathering the necessary information to proceed without excessive expenditures. His professionalism, no-nonsense approach, and communication skills were outstanding. I wish I had known about Kirk when I went through my very costly and frustrating divorce procedure. Kirk's care and interest in my situation made a substantial difference in the quality of my life. I will always be grateful. I highly recommend his services.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
