Employment Law

A new boss came in and demanded that I make untrue claims to customers to bring in business. My professional association has a very high Code of Ethics that members agree to uphold and they are my personal standards. When I called him on this, he began making my life miserable on a daily basis. I ...contacted Ms. Kilgore to seek her advice. This did not become a lawsuit but through her guidance and direction I prevailed. It was ugly but my integrity and her knowledge and experience put him in his place. There were no further problems.

Ms. Kilgore did an outstanding job representing me in my law suit. She is very knowledgeable of her field and helped to educate me through this experience. I was kept apprised of all details every step of the way, she allowed me to weigh in while advising me of what was most advantageous for me. S...he followed up on all details immediately, kept on the other attorneys as well and my suit was settled out of court in a shorter amount of time than I was expecting and for ten times greater a sum than I was expecting. So I am an extremely satisfied client and would most highly recommend Ms. Kilgore as an attorney and would use her again in the future.

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.
