Great communication

I contacted Kilpatrick Law because I was charged with a first degree assault with a deadly weapon. Mrs. Kilpatrick was very clear as to what my options where and what the possible consequences where. She directed me to take steps to address my alcohol problem and to speak with a public defender due... to my location. Mrs. Kilpatrick indicated that I would likely be in good hands because in the town I live in the public defenders have smaller case loads and more experience than average. Instead of trying to up sell me and take my money, she was honest with me and told me what the best course of action would be. I am grateful to Mrs Kilpatrick, and Kilpatrick Law for their directness and honesty.

Great Job

Ms Kilpatrick was my court appointed legal representative on a serious felenoy case. Her approach and attitude toward my case was the same as if I was paying myself. She was in constant contact and kept me informed of all communication she had with the DA. She was flexible with meeting times and easy... to get a hold of. Any questions I had she answered promptly. She was knowledgeable, informative and honest about the circumstances and possible outcomes. Jennifer worked hard on my case getting the several felony charges I was facing pled down to a misdaminer, I did not serve any jail time plus she made sure that these charges would not effect the deferred judgement I have in another county. I was very happy with her service and would not hesitate to hire her if I need legal represention again.

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Jennifer and I have gone to trial together on a six week complex homicide and an indeterminate sex assault. I witnessed first-hand, Jennifer's innovative approach, unyielding dedication to her clients, and trial expertise. Jury trials are invariably unpredictable, but during those seven weeks, Jennifer was ready for everything the prosecution threw our way. Jennifer works her cases from day one, and weaves together her innovative approach with a level of preparedness most other attorneys only dream of. I would not hesitate to go to trial with her again, and welcome the opportunity to do so."
