I was owed drive time and mileage by my employer, and Kirk helped me recover what I was owed. I was so happy with his work, I hired him again a few years later, and we got an even better result! He is great to work with and always kept me informed about what was happening. Thanks again Kirk and I definitely recommend Kirk and his firm to everyone.

I was really nervous about filing a lawsuit against my employer, but Kirk explained everything to me every step of the way, and it all worked out. Most importantly, he fought to receive top compensation and came out on top. I will most definitely recommend Kirk and his firm to anyone in need of legal assistance. Thank you again, I greatly appreciate all that you did for me.
