I hired Kirker Davis to assist me with my divorce. From the moment I had my first sit down meeting to the full day of mediation, I felt at ease, comfortable and confident I could get through this daunting process with a professional by my side leading the way. They are very thorough, super responsive (there was never more than a 8 hour response time from the team), and detail oriented. Having expertise in my corner through the entirety of my divorce was the best decision I could have ever made. I highly recommend Kirker Davis and their team, they will not disappoint.
Just had a contract done with Alyse Donnelly from this firm. She was great, excellent communication, very thorough and was very responsive. I felt I was in great hands throughout the process. She made sure she had all bases covered and I was very happy with her service and her expertise. I highly recommend her.
The entire team at Kirker Davis were extremely responsive and helped me resolve my issue promptly. I would highly recommend retaining them.
