Attorney Donald J. Kilfin, Esq. Review…read more EXECUTIVE SUMMERY * RATED IN THE TOP 100 TRIAL LAWYERS BY THE NATIONAL TRIAL LAWYERS ASSOCIATION. * HIS CLIENTS ARE ALWAYS HIS #1 PRIORITY. * MAKE CHOOSING ATTORNEY DONALD KILFIN ESQ. YOUR #1 PRIORITY. * SUCCESSFULLY MOVED TWO VISITATION MOTIONS THROUGH THE COURT. * SUCCESSFULLY MOVED A PROBATION MONITORING FEE WAIVER MOTION THROUGH THE COURT. * SUCCESSFULLY MOVED A NON-MONITERED OUT OF STATE EXTENDED TRAVEL PERMIT MOTION THROUGH THE COURT (NOT KNOWN TO HAVE BEEN DONE IN THE PAST). * SUCCESSFULLY MOVED AN EARLY TERMINATON OF PROBATION MOTION THROUGH THE COURT. * SOFTEN THE RESOLVE OF A HARDEN POSITION OF A PROBATION OFFICER. * HOPE THAT YOU ARE FORTUNATE ENOUGH (AND SMART ENOUGH TO CHOOSE) TO HIRE ATTORNEY DONALD J. KILFIN, ESQ. If you are looking for and need an exceptional and effective attorney then you have arrived at the correct location. I believe that there is no better Defense Attorney choice in Pinellas County than Donald Kilfin Esq. Donnie is one of the few attorneys that place his client needs above almost everything else. On his firm's website he states that "My Clients Are Always My #1 Priority - I go above and beyond to make sure my clients' rights are protected to the fullest extent of the law." And that he is "committed to providing the residents of St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa, and surrounding areas with the highest quality of legal services, at affordable rates". Those statements are not just words, but are actual reality. You'll find no fake news or alternative facts here or on his website. Just pray that he is willing to take you on as a client. When I contacted a local well known attorney's office, I was told by his office staff that there was nothing that the attorney could (or would) do for me, not even granting me an office visit (I guess that was due to the nature of my alleged charges). Donnie was open armed and he listen to what I had say, accepted me as a client, took the voluminous amount of papers that had I prepared for him and he read them all before our next meet meeting. Donnie is always willing to listen to whatever you have to say. If you accidentally interrupt him, he will stop what he is saying and gently encourage you to speak your mind. He is willing to take your advice and act on possible alternative routes that might obtain results. As your attorney he'll contact you and keep you informed and updated on your issues. Donnie is a graduate of Stetson University College of Law with more than 20 years professional criminal law experience including a six-year career as a Pinellas County state prosecutor. He has received numerous citations and awards including being listed as in the TOP 100 TRIAL LAWYERS by THE NATIONAL TRIAL LAWYERS ASSOCIATION. With his extensive knowledge, contacts, working relationships and friendships, he will serve you well as your attorney. I hope that you are fortunate enough (and smart enough to choose) to hire Attorney Donald J. Kilfin, Esq. No professionally honest attorney can guarantee that your issues will have positive results, but Attorney Donald Kilfin, Esq. does guarantee that he will do everything in his power to provide you with the results that you desire. Donnie likes to divide and conquer, when possible, he will present one issue at a time to the Court (by not asking for too much at one time it makes it simpler for the Court to provide the desired outcome). He has no problem with returning to the Court as many times as your issues require without charging you any additional fees. This happened when we were seeking early termination of my probation. On the first attempt, the Judge use a bogus excuse for not granting it. On the second attempt of presenting our EARLY TERMINATION OF PROBATION MOTION, it was granted in a very short Court appearance. Going to Court with Donnie is as easy as spreading warm butter on hot toast. He will orally present the contents of the written motion to the Court and answer most questions for the Court. If the Court asks you any questions, they usually will be few, short and easy questions. Before you know it, your time in front of the Judge will be history. Donnie has been at bat in the Court for me four times so far. Each time he has hit a home run for me (one time -Motion for Early Termination of probation -required a second swing to succeed). One of those times he saved an amount of money that was equal to about 6 times his fee. Another time he accomplished something that to our knowledge and the local Florida State officials' knowledge has never been done before in Pinellas County. He successfully moved two visitation motions through the Court. Additionally, Donnie was able to convince a determined probation officer not to file a VOP on me. Donnie cannot promise you similar results, but he can promise you he will do everything in his power to help you receive the results that you desire. I have given Donnie permission to discuss the details of above re

I should have called Donald Kilfin first. One of the best defense attorneys I have ever came…read moreacross helped me avoid life in prison. Donald was able to negotiate an outcome that included a very short probation that even allowed several international vacations. During discovery we received evidence that led to information that was then used in a later civil case. If I ever find myself in a situation where the police read me my rights, I will call Donald before i even answer them!

Outstanding representation and service from Attorney Nick Dorsten. Very responsive, excellent…read morecommunication. Highly recommend.

I had an extremely disappointing experience working with this attorney on my first DUI case, and I…read morewould not recommend his services. From the beginning, communication was poor. I was constantly left in the dark about what was happening with my case and had to repeatedly reach out just to get basic updates. As someone unfamiliar with the legal system, I expected guidance and clear explanations, but instead I felt like I had to figure everything out on my own. It should not be the client's responsibility to chase their attorney for information. I also shared important details about my medical situation and other factors that could have potentially helped my case, but these were never meaningfully addressed or presented. It felt like little to no effort was made to advocate on my behalf, and that the bare minimum was done just to move the case along. After completing all of my probation requirements, I paid to have a motion for early termination filed. It was denied, and when I asked why, I was not given a clear answer. I later found out--on my own, by contacting the courthouse--that I was never even eligible for early termination due to the DROP program. This is basic information that any competent attorney should know and communicate to their client before filing a motion. Nick said he filed the motion for free like he was doing me a favor...that was hilarious, I had to go to the courthouse myself to get the final decision from the judge. Overall, I felt that my case was not handled with the level of attention, effort, or professionalism it deserved. An attorney's job is to inform, guide, and advocate for their client, and in my experience, that standard was not met. I strongly urge others to do thorough research and ask direct questions before trusting someone with their case.
