Client

Mr Kilby represented me, he lost my case due to the fact he did not follow the magistrate advice of getting a CFI involved. Leaving the child in a environment with a convicted sex offender, and no running water. Mr Kilby had very poor communication, never provided me a bill summary. The only gain wa...s that visitation got reinstated. Mr Kilby also said he was going to appeal the case, and I never heard from him unless he wanted a payment, at which point I requested a bill summary

Great job!

Matthew was great with getting to know our case, and any details that may help. He was able to get our adoption case done quickly (as quickly as you can working with the government), and efficiently. He was kind and courteous, and made sure we were up to date on where we should in the legal process. ...

Stellar attorney!

Getting divorced was the hardest experience in my life. However, Mr. Kilby made the experience so much easier than before hiring him. An excellent listener, professional, and put my fears to ease. If you want a dependable and clear communicator that puts a favorable outcome before billing hours, th...is is the attorney for you.

Inexperienced, unresponsive, and horrible "attorney".

This kid is beyond green and unprepared. He needs years with a real firm to learn how to be a lawyer. Not only was he completely unprepared, he was late to every meeting, never kept time commitments with communication, and was unable to handle the most basic arguments during trial. When his legal ...argument is "That's just not fair" after being goaded by opposing counsel, you know you're in for bad results. To provide more perspective, he burned every second he had, while opposing counsel had more than 45 minutes left for argument, and I lost everything. He was unable to represent my interests and did not even present the points agreed upon during the minimal trial preparation. With out going into all details, he made my situation worse through his presentation of facts. Opposing counsel was surprised by the orders, but admitted how poorly he did in communications after the trial. Post trial he remained unresponsive in communications with both myself and opposing counsel. This resulted in losing half of my summer with my kids. He writes a nice letter to convince you of his capabilities, and then bills hours without results. DO NOT PUT YOUR TRUST AND LIFE INTO THIS ATTORNEY'S HANDS.

Hello! Thanks for your feedback. While you are entitled to your own opinions, your claim that my firm resulted in you losing half your summer with your children, as well as your comment about minimal trial preparation, are both objectively false. Kilby Law will take necessary action to fight this false information, including but not limited to, legal action. If you do not take this review down within 24 hours, please understand that there are consequences to your actions. Matthew Kilby
