IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION


When you have a legal concern — regardless of whether it pertains to an appeal, an insurance dispute, a lawsuit, personal injury, or other matters — you want someone on your side who is ready for anything. As a litigator, arbitrator, certified mediator, and appellate lawyer, I am more than prepared to offer flexible, proactive, and effective solutions.
I’ve always believed that the attorney-client relationship works best when it’s founded on mutual respect. I genuinely value each client’s unique point of view and listen intently to his or her concerns. I have found that when my client carefully considers my advice as we work throughout the legal process, together we can achieve the best outcome.
MORE ABOUT MEEveryone 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.
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.
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.
I’ve devoted hundreds of hours representing children who have suffered abuse and neglect for the North Carolina Court of Appeals.
I’ve spent time giving back to the community by helping individuals and families find a place to call home. This nonprofit organization serves our nation by creating homes for those in need.
Throughout the course of my career, I have strived to be extremely well-versed in insurance law, appeals, personal injury, wrongful death claims, premises liability, products liability, civil appeals, construction law, and other litigation matters. Above all, though, I have learned that the most important thing I can do for my clients is be the resource they need from the moment we meet up until the moment their case is resolved in their favor.
