Candice, Laurie and Melissa did a great job helping with my divorce. Great communication all along the way and very flexible when being available to meet. I recommend this firm to anyone looking for excellent service and dedication.

Kirker Davis, specifically, Laurie, Ashley and Candice, did a huge and wonderful body of work, for me, but it was really how they went about their work that impressed me, so very much. They listened to me explain how I wanted to be involved as little as possible and took care of me with compassion...not just (total) skill and knowledge. I gained confidence and peace with every email, phone call and meeting. In the end...after it was all said and done...not only did they get me the best settlement possible, but I actually missed talking with them...they're that good. I highly recommend this firm and this team.

I had a very long and complicated divorce. Throughout, Chris and Holly made the entire process go as smoothly as possible and kept me informed every step of the way.
Chris went out of his way to help me find legal counsel for bankruptcy and civil issues that came up during my divorce. When I felt as if everything was hopeless, Chris and Holly were there for me. Everyone at Kirker Davis was quick to respond to calls and emails. Julie and the entire staff are amazing, always offering help and support.
Chris and Holly will fight for their clients in all aspects of family law to help you settle your case with the best outcome possible. I strongly recommend Kirker Davis to anyone seeking honest, competent and compassionate family law attorneys.

I came here with a friend who needed legal help. Once we found the right place we found professional and very helpful employees. The receptionist seemed to really love what she was doing. The lawyer my friend talked to was very competent and down to earth. He knew what he was doing and exactly what needed to happen next. Which is good because OMG the prices!

Lianna and her paralegal Kate are a dynamic duo. They are on top of everything, every detail of divorce. This includes legal matters but also compassionate matters as well. They understand the process to the letter of the law but do not let go of the human experience that is happening at the same time. This is an overwhelming process but with Lianna’s expertise I am incredibly satisfied with my end result and am able to move forward in my life with peace and happiness. No need to go anywhere else!

Kirker Davis is a truly special firm. They have helped get me through the most challenging time in my life. Divorce is difficult enough, but when there is alot of contention, it makes it even worse. I hired Chris Kirker and his team 10 months ago. I was the underdog. I was a mess. From the very beginning, they had a strategy based on my particular case. They executed the strategy with respect, skill, experience, passion and precision. Each and every litigation event was a victory for us and accomplished with the utmost integrity. Chris Kirker, Ashley Morgan, Julie Hill and many others in the firm worked tirelessly for me. They maintained excellent communication and response. No question was too much. They held my hand, reassured me with honesty, listened to me, explained things to me, were compassionate and respectful, AND extremely understanding. They are just really good people. I am truly grateful to have found Chris, Ashley and the KD team to represent me. They gave their tremendous expertise and extraordinary talent to my case, and got me to the other side against seemingly impossible odds.

No one ever plans on using the services of a divorce attorney but I did and Im happy I found Kirker Davis because they made the process easier and more humane. I think the main thing in these times is that we get through this spending as little negativity as possible and I was pleased that they were there for me and at every turn tried to make me feel comfortable and cared for

Kirker Davis is an excellent and efficient law firm. Lianna and Kate were a dream team, and helped me to truly understand everything happening with my case. I feel they treated me like a member of their own family.
Lianna is brilliant, and navigated my situation with ease. I'm forever grateful for Kirker Davis and their amazing work.

My experience with Kirker Davis has been amazing. Candice Deyerle has been my attorney and in just under a month she helped to correct severe deficiencies in my custody case. She and her team respond within minutes or hours to even the most mundane requests. From the moment I walked in the office, I was greeted with an exceptional level of service, and even the receptionist inspires class and confidence. I wholeheartedly recommend this firm and Ms. Deyerle especially.

From my first visit, I felt like Candice listened to every word I said and showed concern about my pending situation. My ongoing experiences throughout our working together, made me feel like they were genuinely concerned about me and my integrity. If I wandered off course, Candice would guide me back online! Fantastic results!

Chris and his team were simply amazing. They handled my complicated case effortlessly. Chris, Kody, Ashley, Julie and Lianna are brilliant and knew my case better than I did. I will always be thankful to Chris because he guided me through this very painful process and made some incredibly wise decisions when I needed him to. I would HIGHLY recommend Chris Kirker and his team. They made getting a divorce a little easier.

I can highly recommend Kirker Davis, especially Candice (my attorney) and her team of paralegals. I found Candice to be very professional and a knowledgeable attorney. I got clear guidance from her or a member of her team concerning document preparations and next action steps required. They (Candice and her team) were also very responsive to my questions and concerns.

Kirker and Davis handled my divorce quickly and efficiently. I felt Holly Davis and team took interest in my goals, helped me navigate what needed to be done with patience and expertise. While our estate was not a large one, I always felt I was treated with extreme respect and concern. Holly and team kept me in the know about next steps, what I needed to do and when I needed to get it done. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone looking for top notch divorce attorneys.

A strong, trustworthy and caring team

I found Chris Kirker thru Avvo with awesome reviews. Shortly after I called, they set up the first appointment very quickly which made them stand out easily and left me a great first impression when I need the help right away. Chris has broad experience and solid expertise which is a great fit for my case given the complexities due to my international marriage and child custody.

Going thru a divorce is difficult. To make it as smooth as possible, Chris helped me have a comprehensive understanding of divorce process and set up proper expectations with thorough strategies. He listened to me carefully and fully understood my concerns and priorities. It is a great relief for me that his firm took care of the case with my kids and my best interests in mind all the time.

The whole team are very proactive, dedicated, professional, and always there for me when I need recommendations or support. Thanks to them, I am confident to go thru this lengthy divorce. I really appreciate everything they have done to make the divorce as easy as it could be.

Highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a strong, trustworthy and caring team.

I highly recommend Holly Davis at Kirker|Davis Family Law. Holly helped me through a difficult situation in my life by representing me. She had my best interest not only for the immediate moment but for the future as well. She patiently listened to my concerns, addressed them and reminded me that the decisions I make would affect me for a life time. She is ethical, considerate, logical, caring, and has her client’s best interest at heart.
Her paralegal Julie Hill is also extremely helpful, caring, and respectful.

Everyone at Kirker Davis is wonderful to work with as well.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the Kirker Davis team during my divorce case. I am so thankful for Kirker Davis! I was extremely impressed with Chris and the team were an absolute delight and I appreciated all their hard work that went into my case.

Chris' skillful approach - professional, dedicated attorney, and yet very comforting and caring. Exactly what I needed during a very difficult time in my life. I do not know what is better, Amazing or Phenomenal, but Kirker Davis team were both!!

I really appreciated their efforts over the past year. I would not hesitate to recommend the Kirker Davis team to any friends or family members looking for an experienced divorce attorney.

Chris and Holly were great partners to me during my divorce. They jumped into the deep-end as I had to let my initial attorney go. That said, they didn't waste time and quickly got up to speed and provided fantastic guidance and coaching through a very difficult time. The conversations were not always easy but they were very collaborative. After our decree was finalized unfortunately I had to retain them again and they were amazing in helping get a quick resolution to a challenging situation. You will be very happy with the team at Kirker Davis, I highly recommend them.

I wish I could write 100 positive reviews for this law firm. The Kirker Davis firm was a true partner and advocate throughout the painstaking process of Divorce. Chris Kirker is one of the brightest and best divorce attorneys I've ever encountered. I interviewed several lawyers and firms before choosing Kirker Davis as my firm of reference for my divorce. His team, Holly Davis, Ashley Morgan, Julie & several other top echelon team members provided an outcome I couldn't be happier with. Chris Kirker is not only a top attorney but a top strategist in his field. He navigated a very complex divorce with tact, patience and intense strategy at its highest level. His team was forced to work and re-strategize our approach at several junctures. He is a force to be reckoned with and most Austin attorneys regard him as the attorney only the 'best and the brightest' retain. If you want the best outcome, and want a firm with an attorney who will believe in you and your case...fighting relentlessly to make sure you win what is rightfully yours choose Kirker Davis. I owe Chris and his team alot. Thank you for everything you've done.

Ashley Morgan and her paralegal Aleks were both so amazing to work with. They were second to none in responsiveness and work ethic. I would recommend her work to anyone looking for family law, and could not be happier with my decision to work with them. Just a great group of people who are knowledgeable and passionate about the work they do.

I am extremely grateful for the Kirker Davis team, specifically Lianna Garza Smith and Kate Koscheski.

Divorce is an unbelievably painful, tough grieving process no matter what side of the fence you sit.

The team stepped up and provided several options/strategies to make all parties resolve our dispute as fast and as smooth as we possibly could with all things considered.

I highly recommend the Kirker Davis team!

Thank you for always being available for my family.

I worked with Candice and Kate (PA) over the past year. My situation was nerve racking, but I felt confident in their attention to detail, experience, and preparation. We ended up not needing to go to trial, which I opted for vs the stress/cost of litigation, but I feel strongly that trial would would have resulted in our favor. Hopefully never need go use a family attorney again, but I will contact KD if the need arises.

I chose Kirker Davis based on their wonderful reviews and they didn't disappoint. Lianna Garza Smith and her team of Demi Allen and Kate Koscheski made a very difficult divorce easier with their patience, compassion and understanding. When I got out of the way of my own insecurities and trusted their advice, it was always on target. They respected my wishes to take the high road and despite attempts by opposing counsel, helped me stick to my own moral compass. If you are looking for a team that values ethics, genuinely cares about you and seeks the truth, stop looking now and hire Kirker Davis. And a shout out to Holly Davis who stepped in and probably saved my life during this difficult time. I never knew how hard divorce would be. I'm glad I had them to shoulder the burden. Forever grateful...

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.

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, my ex wife through her attorneys attempted to squeeze me to settle for a paltry portion of our estate.

Enter Kirker/Davis and my ex wife’s intentions were abruptly halted, when I enlisted Chris Kirker and Holly Davis’s legal help. 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.

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.

My team of Candice and Laurie were always looking out for me without having to ask and trying to make the process as stress free as possible for me. They are very professional, pleasant and easy to work with. I got high value representation at a reasonable price. I would definitely recommend to anyone searching for a good legal team.

I was looking for a lawyer to represent me during my amicable, uncontested divorce. Since there is no animosity between my partner and I, we did not want to end up with a lawyer that would "aggressively pursue" anything or otherwise create an adversarial atmosphere.

I found Kirker Davis LLP after searching many reviews. After requesting a consultation via their website, I received a phone consultation before heading to their offices to meet, and ultimately retain the services, of Ms. Garza-Smith.

Ms. Garza-Smith was very patient, answering all my questions and outlining the process in a manner that gave myself and my partner confidence that things were in good hands.

Divorce/separation is a tough thing to go through and retaining legal counsel is not an inexpensive undertaking. I am very grateful for Ms. Garza-Smith's support throughout the process, and her ability to accommodate our wishes and circumstances. It was money well-spent.

I do not believe I could have chosen a better attorney/paralegal team than Lianna and Kate. They made what could have been a terrifying experience into one that was manageable, cost-effective, and, in the end, financially rewarding. When I first came to them, my ex, who suddenly disappeared from me and my 3 kids’ lives, tried to serve me with a divorce lawsuit without providing me with the resources for an attorney. He tried to force me to agree to terms that would’ve left me destitute, especially since I have a psychiatric disability. Desperate, I consulted Kirker Davis, who incredulously directed me to go right back to him and tell him that the law demands he pay for my attorney or they will sue him. It was very empowering. That changed the whole picture and put us on a level playing field. I immediately began working with Lianna and Kate, who meticulously walked me through every step of the process, writing it all on a dry-erase board, making adjustments as the proceedings moved along. Because of my disability, their patience and clarity were particularly appreciated. Kate the paralegal is a phenomenal workhorse. She is incredibly professional, always one step ahead, and responds promptly to calls and e-mails. I don’t know how I would’ve gotten through all that paperwork without her holding my hand. Lianna is a sincerely empathetic person, one whom I genuinely like and respect. She is not, however, afraid to go for a very ambitious settlement, which is what she did in my case. Because of her audacity and skill in attaining as much from a really high target as possible, I was awarded 12 years spousal support, the house, 60% 401(k), and max child support, and my ex was awarded all $175k of debt. This exceeded my expectations based on my research and previous consultations going into it. And she did it all while maintaining her wonderful, approachable character, with an eye towards keeping costs at a minimum. I am so glad I chose Lianna/Kate to take care of me (that’s what it felt like, like they took care of me) through my divorce. It’s a difficult thing to go through, but they make the process easier and ensure that your future will be as secure as possible.

Kody and his firm Kirker Davis LLP did an outstanding job helping me work through a re-set of a visitation schedule based on an out of state parenting plan/divorce decree. Throughout the process, Kody provided clear and concise advice, helping me stay on track with desired outcomes. He also worked well with opposing counsel to craft and finalize a deal. In addition, his up-front strategic approach (looping in founding partner Holly Davis) helped make sure we thought through likely scenarios. Really great effort from a team who cares deeply about their clients and achieving quality outcomes!

5 Stars does not do justice to relate to the exceptional and professional service that Kirker Davis provided for representing me with my divorce.
My attorney Lianna, and her paralegal Kate are two of the very best professionals that I have ever had the opportunity to work with and I am truly blessed for having them representing me.
They took a very emotional and stressful stage in my life and worked both diligently and compassionately to provide a positive and secure outcome.
Looking for legal representation can be overwhelming. I have learned that without a doubt after this, that if you invest upfront in a A+ team you will save in the long run at the end of the journey.

Excellence is not a word I throw around but the word I would use to describe Kirker Davis and my experience with them. It is evident in everything they do from their communication, to their staff, to their physical office itself.

I work with law firms across the country for a living and I have not met one that is more committed to excellence in everything they do than Kirker Davis. When the time came that I needed legal help regarding my business, Kirker Davis was the first and only firm I called because although they are primarily known for divorce and family law here in Austin, they have a TREMENDOUS understanding of business law and they gave me expert advice regarding mine.

One big problem I have seen with busy lawyers is they aren't always engaged or attentive unless it's a big case/client. With Chris, he was mentally present and sharp as a tack in every single conversation or exchange we had. It was impressive but most importantly, he helped me get the outcome I was looking for.

I'll let all these reviews regarding family law speak for themselves but I can tell you first hand if you are going through any sort of business partnership dissolution or acquisition, I would highly recommend Kirker Davis.

I recommend Kirker Davis, my attorney Lianna, and her paralegal Kate, with the very highest regard.
I’m an accounting professional, and in my career I had seen way too much unnecessary drama related to divorces. This was before I found myself needing my own divorce. And so I was determined to avoid that as much as possible. There’s enough drama without the unnecessary kind. Lianna helped me so much in that regard.
Lianna is extremely professional, knowledgeable, diligent and kind. Kate is super capable as well.
When I was researching attorneys online for my own divorce, I chose Kirker Davis based on multiple great reviews. I usually don’t write reviews, but I am writing this one because I want to help others finding themselves in my situation.
I will always be grateful to Lianna and Kate for getting me through this very hard process in the positive way that it was done.

Candice Deyerle and her paralegal Laurie Theriot are an amazing team. I never had one doubt in my mind that they were both meant to represent me the first time I met them.Candice truly cares for her clients. She will go above and beyond. She always has your best interest at heart. She is very strategic and will be honest with you from the get go. She is also very mindful of your financials and would always propose cost effective ways. She is incredible at what she does and is without a doubt the BEST in her field. I highly recommend her. Laurie was my rock when anything came up. She made me see the light when I was placed in difficult situations. She was ALWAYS readily available to answer ALL my questions no matter how minute they might of been. I felt they were a blessing for me and I can't thank them enough for all the hard work they have done for me. You cannot go wrong choosing this Duo team.

With unparalleled acumen in the domain of family law, Kody Silva, epitomizes the ideal attorney that not only perseveres passionately to drive for results, but also genuinely cares about the minors who can be so dramatically impacted by the outcomes. I was continually impressed not just by Kody but also the entire team at Kirker Davis, in particular his paralegal Priscilla Jaime. Even the front office staff were consistently and constantly on-point and looking out for me at every interaction.

After an arduous six months of proceedings and negotiations, I am thankful every day that I chose the Kirker Davis firm and that Kody Silva chose to take my case. He and the team at Kirker Davis were incredibly efficient and effective at achieving the outcome I desired; even when my desires shifted with changing circumstances, Mr. Silva was always there offering brilliant counsel and guidance with an agility that continuously impressed me.

While I could go on for quite a while about his character, work ethic and efficient use of time and resources I would rather highlight his style of communication, as that was most impactful for me. Like many, I am busy with work and extracurriculars, volunteering in various capacities in the community in addition to co-parenting two young boys. As such, I value clear, direct communication in the most optimal format, where sometimes that is a phone call, sometimes email, and occasionally even text messages. Mr. Silva adapted to my style and availability in such a way that I always felt we were making progress quickly, notwithstanding idle periods waiting for opposing counsel. I believe that efficient communication helps to maximize productivity, and Mr. Silva embodies this maxim.

Were I ever to need counsel on any family law matter in the future, I have a list with one name: Kody Silva.

I went thru the most straight forward divorce as my ex wife was so compliant and cooperative. Ms. Deyerle connect me with her paralegal, Ms. Laurie and they both helped me expedite the whole process flawlessly at the lowest cost.

Divorce sucks. The issues keep coming years later. No other way to phrase it.
My experience with the firm was top notch. I retained the firm for a mediation in an effort to have more visitation with my two young boys. My attorney (Lianna Smith) took my concerns and helped build a plan around what wanted. During all the times of frustration, Lianna would constantly talk me off the ledge and remind me to play the long game. Her paralegal (Laurie Theriot) was always available to answer a question or look up something. Laurie is a jewel!

I had the pleasure of being represented by Lianna Garza Smith in my divorce. Lianna is very compassionate, adept, and strategic in her line of thought. During our initial consultation, Lianna outlined several hypothetical road-maps demonstrating how everything could potentially unfold. I am happy to say that, with her guidance, I took the path of least resistance and was able to obtain my Divorce in a pleasantly short amount of time (dispute several hiccups along the way that were strictly my fault). Because of her intelligence and focused guidance, my ex and I were able to come to an amicable agreement outside of court and I walked away from my marriage fair and balanced. I am very pleased with Lianna's representation and will not hesitate to recommend her to even my closest of friends.

I am going through a nasty divorce back in India for the past 2 years and still going on. I was despaired and lost my trust in getting a divorce and to move on with my life. Then I met Lianna and Kate at Kirker Davis. From our first meeting, Lianna listened to all of my problems in my marriage patiently and explained the detailed process of the divorce and gave the timeline of the process. From day 1, Lianna guided me with clear steps about what we will be doing and how we will be going forward and planned meticulously. I got the confidence from out first meeting, yes I am in safe hands now, Lianna will take care of my divorce process. Her Paralegal Kate is awesome. Kate always maintain crisp and time-time communication about the status of my divorce case patiently. I called Kate multiple times regarding the case status, all the times Kate was very patient and wonderful in explaining on whats going on. I got my peace of mind as soon as signed Lianna and Kate as my Advocates for my divorce process. Here, I am today just 60 days after meeting Lianna, I am happily divorced and I can move on with my life now. If you need a good and kind at heart attorney, Lianna would be your best solution. The way Lianna and Kate work is just awesome. Lianna maintain excellent paperwork and communication and always 2 steps ahead of the process. Hands down from my experience, Lianna is the best divorce attorney I have ever met and choosing Lianna as my advocate is the best decision I have chosen in my life. Thank you Lianna and Kate, I am in debt of you guys. All the best, keep rocking and keep helping pupil in needy.

I, recently, received a legal notice of possible litigation.

Mr. Kirker took the time to, thoroughly, review the facts of my legal matter, personally, with me. He quickly discerned the elements and motives of the case from the standpoint of myself as well as the agrieved party, respectively. Mr. Kirker, then, confidently, described to me the best options to move forward. I appreciated Mr. Kirker's candor in ,truthfully, assessing my legal position and delineating, at my discretion, appropriate legal recourse to, favorably, resolve as well as, potentially, seek legal remedy for the matter that was at hand.

Thank you to Mr. Chris Kirker and the kind staff at Kirker Davis LLP for making my decision to seek legal representation an easy one.

I went to law school with Chris Kirker and called Chris to represent me in my divorce proceedings. I had the case transferred to him from another attorney. Chris received my case under very tough circumstances and I literally could not have asked for a better outcome. He's a hell of a lawyer.

Let's face it, the divorce process is hard! I was given numerous referrals to different law firms around Austin when my ex, and I, decided we were going to get a divorce in October of 2018. Kirker Davis was the first firm I reached out to, and after speaking to the intake specialist about my situation, he paired me up with Lianna. I spoke to her on the phone (really liked her demeanor) and we met the next day!! I hired her on the spot after our in-person meeting and it was the best decision I could have ever made. She is a ferocious woman and truly works hard for her clients. She has an amazing attention to detail and her memory is unbelievable. She advises you of your legal rights in a way that is easy to follow and understand, for us non-lawyers. And when we went to mediation and court, you could see the admiration her colleagues have for her as well. 6 months after that first in-person meeting, I am officially divorced. It was a challenging process, both physically and emotionally, but it sure was nice to lay my head down each night and know I have Lianna in my corner. Thank you for all you do and did for me, my friend!! You're the best!!!

A pleasure to work with in a very unpleasant circumstance. Candace Dereyle handled the sometimes very unique circumstance and requirements of my divorce with ease, guiding and informing me how to get the best outcome possible for me, my divorce, and ex-wife. Thank You.

This has been the most amazing experience I could have ever wished to have, especially regarding the circumstances. From the moment I was contacted by Brandon Maldonado for intake, to stepping into the office the first, second and third time as well as every correspondence with my attorney, paralegals and office manager, I have been treated with the utmost respect and courtesy. I have had the pleasure of meeting both, Holly Davis and Chris Kirker - it is clear as to why they are so successful. They are genuinely interested in each individual client. My attorney, Ashley Morgan, is absolutely, hands down, the best! It is one thing to walk into a law office seeking representation and paying an attorney to get the job done however, being able to connect with your attorney so that they can represent you to the fullest of their abilities, is not so common outside of Kirker/Davis. I am so appreciative of the representation I’ve had with Ms. Morgan. I recommend her to anyone seeking a knowledgeable, professional, caring and get the job done, attorney. I assure you that the Kirker/Davis Firm will not disappoint. They have surpassed all of my expectations and made the entire process easy for me to understand. That, in itself, is a huge weight lifted from my shoulders. I simply cannot thank them enough!

Kirker Davis was recommended to me by my financial advisor. More specifically, Holly Davis was recommended. Divorce is a terrible process to go through. It shakes your world, your life as you have known it. When this is happening, you want to have someone "in your corner" who feels trustworthy, comforting, kind, competent, professional, and compassionate. Holly was all of that, and "a bag of chips". Seriously, I felt well taken care of, all my options were considered, things I would not have thought of on my own were addressed, and I was always treated with kindness and respect.

Go see Kirker Davis for a consultation before you decide on counsel. I'm very happy I did, and highly recommend Kirker Davis.

I am very pleased with the outcome of my case. It is very hard for a father to get custody of a young daughter but Chris Kirker and his firm fought hard and smart for me and got me custody.

Kirker Davis is a top of the line law firm that excels in strategy, execution and victory. As a Line Officer in the Navy with 16 years of service I can credibly assess that their operations are on point and well-greased. Holly and Chris are simply magic in the courtroom: expertly weaving their story on the floor and directing the flow of arguments.

What's more is that they take that extra level of care and customer service when you need it most, making critical calls and responses via email and phone at night and on the weekend should necessity dictate. The result is a pair that exhibits hybrid characteristics of both dedicated hired guns and personal friends and confidants. Kirker Davis advertises concierge level service, and it couldn't be more true.

My case started out very bleak, with multiple significant challenges and obstacles already established when I first walked into the Kirker Davis office. Although I cannot go into the details of my case, Holly, Chris and the rest of the KD team were able to turn the tables from a defensive posture to undeniable forward momentum. I will say if you are facing seemingly insurmountable odds there is no better team to have at your back and side to protect you and achieve the results you're looking for.

Going through a divorce is one of life's greatest challenges should it happen to you. Godspeed to everyone that must journey down this path.

Best regards,
Reggie Cruz

Holly Davis is an amazing attorney. Articulate and a consummate professional, she also has a great legal mind, and is capapable of anticipating issues or opposite counsel's strategy to always put her client in the best possible position, no matter how challenging the case. I have recommended her many times to colleagues and the feedback is always positive. In my view, Holly is the "go to" family law attorney in Central Texas, no question.

Holly Davis has been an excellent referral resource for me. My clients turn to me when they need to sell their home and sometimes it is due to a divorce. Any referral I give is an extension of my team and I want them to give my clients "above and beyond" concierge treatment. Holly Davis does this every time.

Working with Holly Davis and the Kirker Davis team was a GREAT experience.

Holly counseled a family friend on a divorce that we had many questions on. Although Holly did not represent my friend with this case, specifically, she met with us and provided a great deal of guidance, insight, support and follow up.

I would recommend Holly Davis and the team from Kirker Davis for any event requiring legal counsel, especially the delicate family law matters!

Chris spent a great deal of time with me preparing for my divorce. His recommendations and meticulous attention to the details of the verbiage in the decree became beneficial a year after the divorce became final. His vast experience, almost as he could see the future, saved me a significant amount of money. The Ex, tried to sue me for 3 separate items. All 3, including demanding for additional child support, were essentially tossed out of court. During the actual divorce, we successfully negotiated the only thing that was truly important to me; 50% possession of my son.
Thanks Chris!!!

Mediation is not simple just because it isn't in a courtroom. You need someone who understands the process, your priorities & how to find compromise amid the stress & emotion of the parties involved.. Ms.Davis was professional yet personable. She remained focused, even through the long hours of endless detail, all the while continually checking in with us as to our concerns, our understanding of each specific issue & our own energy level.

Although not a formal legal proceeding, mediation is an exhausting series of negotiations that have critical impact. Ms Davis skillfully used her experience and poise to leverage an outcome that realized our family's hopes. Her support team followed through with all the paperwork to streamline the entire process.

Holly and Chris have the highest levels of professionalism, dedication, and unending support of clients and their staff that I have seen in any industry. The passion for what they do and the results they get for their clients are second to none. I challenge anyone to find a law firm that will do more and care more than Kirker/Davis. I would recommend Kirker/Davis to any of my family and friends - every time. Period.

During that time I was continually impressed by the hard work and dedication they brought to each and every one of their cases. Regularly making personal sacrifices to take on additional work and help as many people as they were able, Chris and Holly are unwavering in their commitment to helping their clients through very difficult and trying times. They truly care and will take care of you to the best of their ability.

I am an attorney myself, and have been litigating high exposure cases for over two decades. So when I had to hire a lawyer for my own divorce, my standards were extremely high. Chris Kirker and Holly Davis not only met, but exceeded, every one of them. They did all the things that exceptional lawyers do. First, strategic thinking. They thought far ahead of what was happening at the time; in fact, Chris came up with a very inventive strategy to get to finality much more quickly than would have happened following the standard course. Second, communication. Their communication of both good and bad news was exceptional, keeping me fully informed and involved through the whole process. Third, responsiveness. When I had issues arise that needed fast action, they responded promptly. Fourth, value. They were very judicious with the time and resources that they devoted to my case, and submitted detailed bills describing exactly what had been done.

I have many friends ask me for legal advice. I always tell them that Rule #1 is "hire the best lawyer." I have already recommended Kirker Davis to several friends and will continue to do so.

Chris Kirker did a wonderful job helping me when I was entering in uncharted territory for me. He came highly recommended and he and his team exceeded expectations. He provided me with the advice and support I needed, guidance for my course of action that minimized conflict and lead to a mutually beneficial outcome. I live out of town from Austin, but would go back to Kirker Davis for future needs and would recommend them to anyone in need of their services, even long distance. The great advice provided early in the process made all the difference. Thank you Chris!!

Chris led my divorce case to a successful conclusion without having to go to trial. He also gave me the latitude to negotiate issues with my ex while making me aware of the risks involved along the way. He was also not afraid of getting tough with the opposing counsel in order to keep things moving. My overall experience with Chris was exceptional and I highly recommend him.

Chris represented me through a child custody dispute, and I have nothing but positive things to say about him. From our first meeting, Chris took the time to understand my situation and what I wanted, and he always worked toward that end goal, staying on point. Unlike a previous attorney I hired, Chris always had his finger on the pulse of my case and was actively advocating on my behalf. Chris set reasonable expectations and skillfully guided me through the whole process, expertly navigating the obstacles thrown our way. I would not hesitate to recommend Chris Kirker to family or friends.

Chris Kirker is our hero! He championed my cause as if it was his own, he was patient and boldly fought my battle through the years of drama filled court proceedings- all to keep my kids and I together. I could not ask for better representation in the face of such an intense family crisis. His keen sense of what to expect saved us and I felt like I had a superhero on my side. He gave me a lot of faith because every step he took was incredibly effective in winning my case. His keen attention to detail and follow through over the years has been impressive and exactly what made him and his firm run circles around the other side. He's got a real presence and he takes charge in the courtroom. I will both go to him if my family needs saving again and have already been recommending him to everyone I know. The friends of mine that I have referred to him and his firm have been very pleased with both the results he gets and the way he and his firm really go the extra mile for every family in their care.
