Chris Kirker and Bethany G. made a phenomenal team handing my heartbreaking divorce case. They made things makes sense. They translated emotions into asks. They worked seamlessly with the mediator, for a solution that worked for everyone and kept the case out of court. They made a bad situation digestible and made a terrible situation a little bit easier. If you have to do it, choose them. Worth every dollar, and then some.
Kirker Davis is a top-of-the-line law firm that excels in strategy, execution, and victory. As a Line Officer in the Navy with 16 years of service, I can credibly assess that their operations are on point and well-greased. Holly and Chris are simply magic in the courtroom: expertly weaving their story on the floor and directing the flow of arguments. What's more is that they take that extra level of care and customer service when you need it most, making critical calls and responses via email and phone at night and on the weekend should necessity dictate. The result is a pair that exhibits hybrid characteristics of both dedicated hired guns and personal friends and confidants. Kirker Davis advertises concierge-level service, and it couldn't be more true. My case started out very bleak, with multiple significant challenges and obstacles already established when I first walked into the Kirker Davis office. Holly, Chris and the rest of the KD team were able to turn the tables from a defensive posture to undeniable forward momentum. There is no better team to have at your back and side to protect you and achieve the results you're looking for.
