INVESTED IN
YOUR KNOWLEDGE.

Education is of high importance to me — in the courtroom and the classroom.

Everyone deserves the highest quality of legal representation. Years ago, I began teaching continuing education courses to my fellow legal professionals to enhance their practice of law. By sharing my knowledge of insurance law, personal injury law, and appellate law, I was able to help the next generation of attorneys become even better equipped to offer the best representation possible in North Carolina.

I want to make sure you’re just as informed as the attorneys I’ve taught.

My educational mission isn’t limited to other legal professionals. When I represent you, I take the time to make sure you fully understand what’s happening and what options are available to you. After all, this is your case. It’s only fitting that you should be able to make informed decisions. Only when the client is fully informed can he or she make the best decisions for their case.

Client Feedback

Quotation Mark

I recently had the opportunity to work with John Kirby. He is knowledgeable, dependable, and always kept me informed of the status of my case. The case took approximately six months to conclude, and John worked tirelessly while helping me navigate some bureaucratic obstacles.  He was always available to me if I had questions, and took time to explain everything thoroughly.  I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is in need of legal advice and assistance.

Fantastic. That would be the first word that comes to my mind to describe the representation I received from John. John expertly navigated my situation while keeping me up-to-date with prompt responses and detailed explanations of the situation. His honest, straight-forward approach is refreshing, giving you a realistic perspective for the possible outcomes of your case. He is persistent, and not afraid of a challenge. I would not hesitate to retain John again, and recommend him without reservations.
