The outstanding legal firm of Kirker/Davis represented me in my divorce. Cogent to providing a better understanding of the superior quality of this team's representation and my experience, I'm compelled to provide a brief contextual background. I was a former physician who was married for 30 years to a very successful surgeon in Austin, Texas. Ten years before our divorce, my now ex wife and myself made a mutual decision for me to leave medicine completely and care for our two children. I would handle domestic issues in the home, thus freeing her up entirely to focus on her surgical practice, which subsequently became quite successful and lucrative. It worked for us both well.
Sadly, once our children were adults, she no longer needed a "stay at home dad" and decided to leave me. Heartbroken and with bitter disappointment I was headed to divorce court. Furthermore, it was disconcerting when my ex wife transferred and took control of all of our accounts and assets, leaving me in a very precarious financial position. Thus, without an income, nor access to our community estate, which we had together built over thirty years, my ex, wife through her attorneys attempted to squeeze me. She wanted to force me into a posture of complete capitulation and demanded I accept a substantially smaller portion of our estate, while she walked away with the majority of our assets.
My ex wife's intentions were abruptly halted, immediately in fact, when I enlisted Chris Kirker and Holly Davis's services. Quickly, it was clear to both my ex and her attorneys the battle field had just changed substantially, and that my team meant to win. What ensued over the next 9 months was an arduous process which ended in an actual jury trial lasting a week. It must be noted, a jury trial in and of itself is highly unusual for divorces. Most divorces are settled at mediation.
Throughout those nine months, and especially during the week long jury trial, I witnessed the astounding synergism between these two attorney's with differing skill sets. Chris and Holly when combined, proved repeatedly to opposing council, they were simply outmatched on numerous levels. My teams's arsenal was bigger, had smarter, and faster weapons, and repeatedly out maneuvered the opposition at every turn.
A noteworthy example, their keen possession of knowledge of the law, precision, strategic thinking along with insight, judgement and striking attention to detail, at times, it was as if they had an uncanny ability to predict what the opposing council's next move would be. This proactive approach ultimately bodes well for my case, since we were always two steps ahead, poised and ready for anything thrown our way. Essentially, as a team Chris and Holly became something larger than the sum of their individual parts. Stunningly, I witnessed this many times, as they complimented one another's strengths and talents, bringing together a formidable force, capitalizing on those combined traits to find a pathway to victory. In my opinion this is why they offer something unique and compelling to those unfortunate people faced with this life crisis.
Now, on a more human note, given that I'm a sixty year old man who was a devoted husband for thirty years, and obviously, at times disturbed and deep in the throes of depression, frightened, angry and discombobulated, it was wonderful to have Holly there with her smile and calm cheerful demeanor, holding my hand and providing reassurance things would work out. Similarly, Chris too remained confident and cheerful throughout, and though twenty-five years my junior, grasped the very real and personal trauma I was enduring. When needed, at times, Chris would gently set me straight when I was either being wrongheaded, stubborn or doing something that would harm our case. I even recall during the trial Chris tapping me on my leg under the table when he didn't like the body language I was displaying before the judge.
For this I am grateful, for you see, because of this team and their dedication to this client, I walked away with fifty-eight percent of my estate which included ninety one percent of our retirement account. This, I've been told is unprecedented in a Williamson county court, and probably in any central Texas court.
In summary, I believe the Kirker/Davis law firm and all of those individuals from paralegals to junior attorneys who work alongside these two attorneys, tower like mountains above all others and I for one am eternally grateful for their assistance throughout my crisis. I highly recommend them to any and all who finds themselves in a similar circumstance.
