This "lawyer" may be the biggest crook in the city. My boyfriend has been dealing with a family court matter for over 6 years and unfortunately retained this criminal as his lawyer. John Kirby (doesn't deserve to even be called "Mr.") gave him the run around for YEARS and YEARS. He never returned phone calls, or emails, not to mention, made decisions on his own accord about my boyfriends family court matters without consulting with my boyfriend about it. Then turns around and says "oops, sorry, I guess I didn't realize how crazy your ex really is". He then continues to make decisions without consultation with my boyfriend. Finally, to top it all off, he never once kept my boyfriend, his client, in the loop on the status of the bill and then at the end, throws a bill at my boyfriend, upwards of $20,000, this is after other installments of payments, not a single breakdown of costs, payments or anything tracking the forever climbing bill. STAY AWAY FROM THIS POS!! HE IS A CROOK!!

This lawyer when contacted was told that our 25000 cottage was in danger of being taken over by lease land owners...it clearly fell under landlord tenants act...he collected 2000 from us in the middle of pandemic and I ended up having to file suit myself. He's ignorant. Dismissing..obtuse and if you need a lawyer...this is not the place to find one. Beware..I've never been treated like this y anyone anywhere...I regret my decision going there. Definitely not out for your best interests

Mr. Kirby, in partnership with Mr. Ed Gresham were working on my son's case. The case was dismissed. I should have fired Mr. Gresham as he reeked of alcohol while in the court room. I mentioned this to Mr. Kirby next time i saw him. He said that Mr. Gresham possibly had Diabetes. Mr. Kirby's accountant lost receipts of payment i made and I had to refresh his memory of these payments. After the case was dismissed, i began to receive outrageous bills for payment. My son's bank account had been seized b4 Xmas and he took his school tuition fees. I met with both lawyers 2 or 3 times and once at court to get the case dismissed. Now i have a bill for over $27000.00 If the case was thrown out of court, not sure how my bill can be over $27000.00.

He does not do a very good job listening to his clients, and likes to drag things out, probably so he can take more of your money. His staff was lovely, but he really doesn't know what he is doing.

Good knowledge and took some extra steps to ensure everything was done correctly and within civil/financial law. My big issue was speed and communication. They were very slow at doing everything (except the young guy doing title changes). No communication - we had to constantly follow up. Don't go here if speed is a concern.

HE DOES NOT FULLY UNDERSTAND THE MEANING OF "MATT"RIMONIAL HOME, NOR WILL HE ESCAPE THE REALITY OF EQUILIZATION, WITH AN ADDED BONUS OF SPOUSAL SUPPORT FOR HIS CURRENT CLIENT!

Very conciliatory...he really tried to help us resolve the issues before legal action was necessary...very tempered advice....very patient and well informed...offered a lot of good advice...made himself available until things resolved...no surprises with fees...did not try to inflame the situation in any way...I would highly recommend Mr. Kirby

He knows the law and how to abuse the law. Tends to cancel and delay Only willing to settle or proceed through courts - hence increasing his bill substantially

I went to see this crook in an attempt to get a court motion to give me access to view parents bank accounts when it was suspected brother/wife were stealing money from my parents .Kirby took it upon himself to instead drag it out for about a year.Every time i'd finally get a court date Kirby would adjourn it.Even after I told him not to adjourn it again he would do so with some lame ass excuse. 3 times he adjourned the trial giving some lame ass excuse as to why.When i got fed up with his **** i asked to see his statement of account , yet again always coming up with a lame excuse why he didnt have it yet. No doubt because he knew if I saw his ridiculous billing i'd can his ass.Over 2 months later he finally sent a accounting. I did most the work getting the neccessary information.The total bill with the retainer almost $30,000. No wonder he stalled telling me.
All he did for a year was write letters back and forth with thier lawyer asking the same things over and over.

John is a great Lawyer! I was stuck in a really bad situation and within 1 day he straighten it all out. Nothing is hidden with John and he will fight for you, just don't push to get results.....Legal issues are not over quick, took me 1.5 years to get a settlement in my case. It is worth the wait to be calm and cool, trust him he knows what is best. All of his office staff are great and very efficient too!

Like many others, this is a BUSY law office. There is a certain personal attention you get here that I have never gotten from lawyers in the past though. They honestly care about the result and put a great deal of time and effort into preparing documents and making sure you understand what you are signing. I will use them again.

Very poor communicator. Office staff doesn't follow thru on work. Will blame the client if they screw up even though the facts have been gone over time and time again. Very disappointed. Had more faith in this one.

all he did was suck our money dry...very poor at letting you know your bill till the day before court and then he holds it over your head and refuses to go on till you pay...I had high hopes for him and it was a big let down.

Sometimes the best things come to those that wait. Just like every other lawyer out there, Mr. Kirby has a lot on his plate. But unlike many lawyers out there, when you get results, they are fantastic!

a great calming personality, matter of fact speaking, doesnt waste your time, extremely intelligent, wonderful staff and secretary, call, talk, email, communicate at any time, if he were our first lawyer instead of our fifth, we would have spent alot less money and had things sttled much sooner than the six years it took for a ridiculous sibling rivalry over a ten thousand dollar estate simply due to siblings being jealous and having anger issues, no real paperwork that showed any foul issues...Kirby was and is amazing
