Mr. Gilliard represented a close relative of mine. I obseved his strategies on how his handled the case and his insightfulness toward my relative. Many lawyners only want to be paid, but this man wants you to have a peace of mind. He presented such a groundbreaking stand in court and gave recommendations of advice after the court was done. He spoke to all the family members there and reassured us that our loved one was in the best hands possible. All turned out well.

100/10 RECOMMEND Kirk is an AMAZING lawyer. I highly recommend him for your family legal matters. He goes above and beyond for his clients. Sadly, my family and I have had many dealings with lawyers in the past year. Hands down, Kirk is the BEST compared to the rest. Kirk is a SMART, good, honest, hardworking man who actually cares about justice and the people he represents. Thank you Kirk for all that you have done for me and my family. If you’re looking for an attorney, look no further…Kirk Gilliard is the one you want representing you!

I was on probation for a DUI in Columbia County when I screwed up and got another one in Atlanta, where I live. My Columbia Cty attorney didn't feel comfortable taking my Violation of Probation case since I basically broke my promise to never get in trouble again, but he referred me to Mr. Gilliard, whom I hired. My life was spiraling out of control at that point, but Mr. Gilliard was so patient with me and helped me stay the course. He got me out of the probation violation charge, went to court for me a couple times to keep me from having to drive 3 hours out to Appling, and even negotiated better terms that allowed me to pay it off faster. Towards the end of probation, he notified me of an evaluation that still needed to be done that I had completely forgotten about and that would've landed me back in court had he not reminded me. I've been pretty awful about returning his phone calls and emails and he's had to get on me a couple times about that (in a nice way, always), but even though I definitely haven't been the ideal client, Mr. Gilliard has been by far the best attorney I could have asked for. I hope I never end up in trouble again, but if I do and it's in Columbia Cty, I won't hesitate to hire him again. He's simply the best.

When I first met Kirk, I was an emotional mess, having recently found myself in a position I never would've imagined due to a mistake my (juvenile) son made. Initially I did not plan to seek legal representation, but then changed my mind merely hours before a disciplinary action hearing - and I am so glad I did. Kirk not only made time for us, but he was very thorough in his explanation of what we could expect and remained communicative throughout the entire ordeal. Kirk spared me a lot of stress trying to understand/navigate the legal system and ultimately helped us to get our case dismissed. I have nothing but positive things to say with regards to Kirk and will recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone in the CSRA who needs an attorney. I will definitely reach out to him should I ever need legal representation again and am already planning to use his help with creating a will.

Kirk has represented my family for years. This time it was our turn. We needed a lawyer for an adoption of a relatives newborn baby. Our case was time sensitive and had special circumstances that Kirk really took to heart. We knew 5 days before the baby was born that we would be able to adopt him. The next afternoon we reached out to Kirk, who even stayed after hours to meet us despite short notice. He got every bit of information he needed that afternoon to present the paperwork after the baby was born so that we could take the baby home from the hospital and have custody until the adoption was final . After he got out of court, Kirk came to the hospital with the documents for her to sign. He consistently followed up, occasionally requesting additional information so that when we went to court they had everything they needed. Kirk helped us the entire way , even registering us for the criminal background check and fingerprinting. He really made our adoption case feel like it was his top priority. When it came to scheduling our court date, he postponed his family vacation so we could have our day in court as soon as we could. The day before the baby turned 3 months old we had our day in court and the adoption became final! It went so smoothly and lasted no more than 5 minutes. Afterwards we were able to take pictures with Kirk and the Judge. Thanks to Kirk, baby Cash is now apart of our happily ever after and our house has never felt more like a home!

No complaints. Kirk made it very easy to contact him as far as questions and issues throughout the entire case. very informative and made sure understood every step of the court process. I was expecting some lack of effort due to him having some physical health issues. but even with that burden he still gave %100 toward the case. I dont even know where to begin to thank Kirk. Highly professional and his assistants are just as good.

I was severely injured in a car wreck and was hospitalized for 19 days. In the hospital, about every lawyer I've seen advertising on TV sent somebody to my room, (uninvited of course) to try to get me to sign their contract. I knew I needed an experienced lawyer for my case. I asked a friend who is a police officer if he knew an experienced lawyer. He told me that he had seen Kirk Gilliard in court many times and thought he would be a good lawyer for my case. I called Kirk Gilliard's office and he said he would come see me in the hospital. He came and met with me, but did not push me to sign a contract. I thought it over for a few days and decided I wanted a lawyer that "I chose for my care" not one who "chose me for my case." So I hired Kirk Gilliard to represent me. Mr. Gilliard went to work immediately on my case. He explained everything to me and kept me informed on the progress. I could always reach him or his assistant easily. Because of my serious injuries and nearly 3 weeks in the hospital, I had large medical bills that I owed liens filed against me for medical bills. Kirk Gilliard settled my case for the maximum policy of $300,000.00 in less than 4 months! He then negotiated reduction of my medical bills and paid them so it did not harm my credit. At the end of my case, everything I owed was paid and I was significantly compensated for my injuries. I highly recommend Kirk Gilliard for anyone seriously hurt in a wreck.

Mr.GIllard is one of the most dedicated and honest man I've ever met. He gave our family hope when it seemed there was none. Thanks to Mr.Gillard my husband was able to step parent adopt our daughter. The process went smoothly thanks to Mr.Gillard. we owe him so much for helping us put our little family together the way it was meant to be.

I cannot express enough what an excellent lawyer and individual Mr. Gilliard is. My son was referred to Mr. Gilliard for a DUI charge. Before Mr. Gilliard could even address these charges my son received another DUI charge. At this time, my son had not finished paying Mr. Gilliard’s retention for the first charge. When I contacted Mr. Gilliard to see what needed to be done he met with me immediately and showed true compassion for our situation. Thankfully, my son was able to be enrolled in a treatment facility and things have totally turned around. Mr. Gilliard kept in contact throughout this process with the courthouse, the treatment facility and myself. Thanks to Mr. Gilliard my son was just accepted into Richmond County’s Accountability Program. Without Mr. Gilliard I do not believe any of this would have been possible. His fees are very reasonable and he truly cares about his clients. I would refer him to anyone in need of legal assistance. He is my hero.

Kirk is a well respected and professional attorney. Kirk helped me obtain my right to bare arms and he was knowledgeable and swift in his actions and everything went well.

I became acquainted with Attorney Gilliard (Kirk) after being indicted on 16 felony charges - Yes 16! 1 count of conspiracy to commit medicaid fraud and 15 counts of medicaid fraud. You can imagine (or not) what I was about to endure at the moment of finding out this horrible news while experiencing defamation of my very being and the constant “what’s next.” For over a year, I learned Kirk. I found him to be of candid character with remarkable knowledge of the laws, my rights as a person and my options for each step of the process. For every conversation that we had, it seemed that I often had several questions (being new to all of this); Kirk was always patient with me and took time to answer and explain in laymen terms and even provide resources to me to assist in my understanding. Along with his high level of integrity, I found his perseverance and analytical skills to be of great value for my defense, having a sharp mind and capable of making quick judgments - thinking at all times and great at tying things together to then communicate in a manner that was precise, clear and even theatrical at times. His dedication and devotion to his work was moving! In choosing an attorney, I never thought about the importance of the legal counsels heart. I’ve always thought of situations as such to be very political; but Kirk showed me that he actually cared. I learned that he not only cared about me, but about my family. He represented me for over a year and of that time, we spent two entire weeks in jury trial; two long weeks might I add. Everyday of my jury trial, Kirk represented me with great profession ensuring that I was provided with a fair trial and that I was heard. In closing, he told the jurors that they should find me not guilty of all 16 charges and at the end of the trail he would walk me to my car to send me home to my children - and he did just that! After his hard work and dedication, I was acquitted on all charges! He walked me to my vehicle and sent me home to my family. These several words that I have shared cannot express everything I could share, but I must say that I am very grateful to have had Kirk as my legal counsel!

I obtained Mr. Gilliard for legal representation about 15 years ago, and he has been a staple in our family every since. We have used his services, and made many referrals over the years- all with the most optimal outcome. Mr. Gilliard pays careful attention to detail, keeps his clients informed, he is prompt, precise, and affordable. If you're in need of legal representation, I urge you to put your trust in Kirk Gilliard- you won't be disappointed.
