Best lawyer I ever had

I was in big trouble and knew it. I had hesitated to go to an attorney for various reasons; however, Mr. Kirwan helped me in my legal difficulties in every step of the way. I am now over my legal problems.

A Credit To His Profession!

As I stated in the title, John is a credit to his profession. He won a case for my daughter and now he is helping my wife and I get through some very tough times. Not only is he very good at his job, but in my opinion, he genuinely cares about helping people. In this day and age, I believe that to be... rare indeed. He's patient, (sometimes I need things explained several times) is easy to reach, (will return calls if he can't answer when called) and follows up on all aspects of your situation. I cannot say enough good things about John. I would recommend him to everyone!!! You will be making a very intelligent decision working with John!

John Kirwan - to the rescue

When another lawyer failed to show up at an important hearing for my son, John Kirwan stepped in and saved the day. I would wholeheartedly endorse John as an attorney to anyone who is in need of a compassionate, trusting, professional who goes out of his way to do what is needed.

Responsive & knowledgable A+ lawyer

I hired John to help battle a dispute with my unemployment benefits. He responded to my email within minutes. He clearly explained my options and advised me step by step. John is a compassionate person with a true care for his clients. In the end, John helped us get what we needed/deserved. John is a... very personable and caring person. He is very thorough with great knowledge in his area of expertise. I would highly recommend John and will hire him again in the future.

Our review of Attorney John Kirwan

Attorney Kirwan represented us in a bankruptcy filing and he was very professional and knowledgeable. He always kept us informed every step of the way and even came out to our home to have us sign paper work and to meet with us at our convenience. Even after our case was finalized, he called and as...ked if we were happy with the way everything turned out and if there was anything else that he could do for us. We were very happy with the job he did and would highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal services.

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.
