MIRACLE WORKER!…read more My new friend/employer hired Mr. Christie in 2020. It was a month before my pre trial conference for 8 felony charges in Lafayette County occurring in 2018. My Public Defender said 10yrs or trial, I choose trial and bonded out.  Posting bond disqualifies defendants for a public defender, therefore I was forced to pro se. I filed a couple motions,resulting in more felony charges and bond revocation.  This is when the boss retained Mr.Christie. I also continued to consult with other attorneys regarding my charges despite it being frowned upon.  Mr. Christie remained calm, reserved, and consistent in his approach with me as well as his approach to the D.A. and Judge.  6 out of 7 lawyers told me there was no way I was not going to D.O.C..  The one who said he sees an angle for probation was Mr. Christie and he was astonishingly accurate!  I spoke with Judges that practice part-time criminal defense in Lafayette also with lawyers practicing there for 30+ years.  These guys wanted double the amount I paid Mr. Christie and they each said I would still go to D.O.C. for some time.  This last Mr. Christie just kept repeating that I needed to trust him, but I didn't. I  doubted him and even lashed out  at one point.  He never lied, he never promised me anything, he never made me feel judged, and he paid attention to my well being.  If you are reading this you are thinking about retaining him and I want to encourage you to do it now, you will not find a better option specifically anywhere in Lafayette County.

I fully recommend Brandan Davies. I had an unfortunate situation that required his legal services…read more Throughout this process, Brandan was upfront, honest, and transparent. His communication was great. He told me exactly what our plan of action was, what possible outcomes we could expect (within reason), and the details of how the law applied in my situation. Most importantly, this was a highly stressful time for me, with potential negative effects on my personal life and business; I could tell Brandan genuinely cared about how I was doing and did an amazing job at putting me at ease during this situation. In the end we were able to secure a victory! I am able to put this behind me without any negative impact because of Brandan's professionalism and hard work. I cannot thank him enough. I understand each situation is different, but I believe if anyone needs legal representation and also wants the peace of mind knowing you have a great person to help you navigate the challenge, Brandan is the guy to call. He gets results.

I live in Kansas and got a speeding ticket in Missouri. I'm not familiar with MO law, but know that I didn't want the ticket to impact my insurance. A friend had recently paid a speeding ticket and their monthly insurance went up over $100/month. I was hesitant to hire a lawyer for a speeding ticket but am so glad I did! He resolved the ticket quickly and efficiently. I was shocked at how fast they were to reply to my initial request. He was thorough and kept me informed every step of the way. I could not have hoped for a better result or stress-free process. If you are unsure, call or email them. You won't regret it.

I'm writing this post to briefly share my experience with Denise Kirby. While I ultimately did not…read moreretain her as my attorney, I had several meaningful conversations with her that left a lasting impression. From the start, Denise demonstrated genuine care for her clients. She was upfront, candid, and transparent in every conversation we had. It's clear that if you choose to work with her, she will commit fully to your case and do everything within her power to help you achieve a favorable outcome. And if, for any reason, she cannot take on your case, she will still keep your best interests in mind by referring you to another trusted professional. A few years ago, while searching for legal representation, I did extensive research--making phone calls, reviewing qualifications, and weighing my options carefully. After days of effort, I narrowed it down to two attorneys, and Denise was my top choice. She checked every box in terms of what I was looking for: experience, communication, and a clear ability to fight effectively on behalf of her clients. We had a detailed conversation about my case, and I told her directly that she was the attorney I wanted on my side. But in that same discussion, she did something unexpected--she recommended I go with the other attorney I had been considering. This wasn't because she doubted the strength of my case or lacked the desire to help. On the contrary, she was forthright about her current caseload and explained that, as a solo practitioner, she didn't want to compromise the level of attention my case deserved. That kind of self-awareness and honesty is rare, and I respected her even more for it. What struck me most was her integrity. Even though she didn't take my case, I knew she was exactly the kind of attorney I wanted: capable, honest, and committed to giving her clients the best possible representation--even if that means stepping back when necessary. Some time later, I reached out to Denise again to update her on my case and get her thoughts as I navigated ongoing legal matters. Just as before, she was open, honest, and insightful. Speaking with her always left me feeling heard, understood, and more confident in my next steps. Her communication style is grounded, respectful, and real. She may not always tell you what you want to hear--but she'll tell you what you need to know. And that kind of candor is invaluable. It's important for clients to understand that an attorney's job is to defend your interests to the best of their abilities--it's not to shoulder the burden of your situation. Some attorneys will care deeply; others may be more transactional. But in Denise's case, she clearly cares. She communicates with compassion, but also with clarity and conviction. In our most recent conversation, she offered thoughtful reassurance on the questions I had and provided insight that I truly appreciated. It affirmed everything I had felt during our earlier discussions. Bottom line: If you're fortunate enough to establish an attorney-client relationship with Denise Kirby, consider yourself in exceptionally capable hands. While I haven't seen her in the courtroom, I've spoken with her at length--and if your intuition is telling you she's the right attorney for you, trust it. Go with Denise.
