Posted by Tracey | January 26, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Civil Rights

Patrick represented me when i was wronfuly fired from my job

Patrick was one of the hardest working attorneys i have had the plrasure of working with. He is very good at keeping the conversation to the point at hand when doing his initial interview. Therefore concentrating on the most important aspect od any civil lawsuit, how and why my civil rights were viol...ated. Patrick zeroed in very quickly and effectively how to best represent my physical handicap, and worked hard to get me a strong, fair settlement from my previous employer. I would reccoment Patrick to anyone seeking the very best in legal counsel and representation. Above all else he is geniunely a good giuy and although my case has been settled for some time, i consider Patrick to be a lifelong friend and am grateful i had the opportunity to meet him and then have him represent me in my lawsuit.

Patrick Joseph Kirby's Lawyer Endorsements

Endorse Patrick
Michael J. Delay headshot
Michael Delay

Employment and labor lawyer | May 08

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I endorse this lawyer. I had the privilege of observing Patrick trying cases in Federal & State courts. Three things I observed as Patrick's co-sounsel: (1) Pat's willingness to represent clients who had little or no resources and against Fortune 500 companies; (2) Pat is a lawyer with unusual level of compassion for his fellow man with a strong faith committed to helping those who are unable to hold their employers accountable; and (3) a willingness to take great risk and make sacrifices to represent and protect a client who has had his/her rights violated by an employer. Pat's style and conduct sets him far apart from most lawyers I know. I have learned a great deal from Pat. Patrick J. Kirby has made me a better man and a better lawyer. Unrelated to my experience as his co-counsel, I have referred clients that have had very positive results from Pat's legal representation and many have thanked me for the referral to Pat."

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
