I was looking at a DUI and probably jail time after an incident in 2023. After two previous Convictions, one 30 years ago and another 25 years ago. I was arrested for DUI, resisting arrest and assaulting a police officer., all of which were not based on facts.. Denise Kirby, won my revocation hearing so I didn’t lose my license, and both the resisting arrest and assaulting an officer were both dismissed The DUI was amended to a 2 point C&I charge.. I paid a $225 fine with NO probation.. I can NOT have gone through what I did if it weren’t for Denise!! She IS the Best !! She was trustworthy, and determined.. and I pray I will never have to be her client again, but if anyone is reading this and is in a similar situation, please contact her.. I am so blessed and so thankful for having attorney Denise Kirby in my corner!!!!

On St Patrick's Day, I got into a car accident with no injuries. The officer who arrived on the scene said I had the smell of alcohol on my breath and had me do a field sobriety test. I failed the Field Sobriety Test, and I refused to blow. I was arrested and booked for DWI + Reckless Driving, causing an accident, and I had 2 weeks to appeal my license revocation. I was in shambles and anxious about my future as a healthcare professional. I called different lawyers. Some were cheap, but they just wanted me to take a plea deal. Some big firms were willing to fight the case, but they were super expensive, and I didn't want to go broke over this incident. Enter Denise Kirby. When we discussed my case, she made no guarantees, but by the end of the conversation, I was convinced that she'd be the one to represent me. She impressed me with her resume; she is well-known in KC for her expertise in DWI defense. Her price is a flat fee and is more than fair for her expertise and qualifications. Her payment system is easygoing. I made an upfront deposit and finished making payments after six months with no interest. You'd think the case would be settled by the end of the six-month payments, but it wasn't. Denise warned me that the court systems in KC, Missouri, are slow, and they sure were. A full year later, when the case came closer to a hearing, Denise called me to review all the evidence and asked me what I wanted to do. My biggest thing was getting the DUI off my record without going to trial. She spoke to the prosecutor and called me about a few weeks later. She was able to get a plea deal to amend my DUI and Reckless driving to a C&I driving violation, which is essentially a $500 fine and not a criminal offense ( not a misdemeanor or felony). I only had to go to court in front of the judge to agree to accept guilt for the traffic violation and then pay the fine at the court. She also won my license revocation, I just had to do SATOP classes, and my driver's license was not suspended. Do yourself a favor if you live in the KC area and face DUI/DWI charges Denise Kirby is the way to go.

I feel as though I was wrongfully arrested for a DUI. I am a pretty boring mom who never goes out and had not had a drink in years. A friend came from out of town and for the first night in years I took her out in KC, had 1 drink, than drank water for about 2 hours, grabbed a bite to eat, and about 3 or 4 hours after my one drink got in the car and forgot to turn on my headlights and got pulled over by a thirty to arrest DUI officer. He did three field sobriety test and I lost my balance on the walk, the last test, due to nerves/anxiety (was shaking), it was on an elevated surfaces and a uneven cracked sidewalk. He arrested me and gave me a PBT which I easily passed but still insisted I was under the influence. I called many lawyers and many stated that many prosecutors are hard on DUI’s due to MAD and even though it seemed straightforward we likely would have to go to trial. I looked up Denise and was impressed by her credentials but once I talked to her I knew she was hands down the one I wanted to hire. She was confident in her abilities and what she would be able to do for me. I could have gotten a cheaper lawyer but I she was well worth the extra I had to spend to get representation that would fight for me. Denise was able to get charge completely dismissed. It is disappointing that you can do everything right and still get wrongfully arrested by someone stacking up cases but thankful for people like Denise who are able to represent people when they feel like the odds are stacked against them. Denise, thanks for everything you did to represent me and get my case dismissed. I shouldn’t never need another DUI lawyer but would/will recommend you, hands down!

During a difficult and confusing time, Denise was incredibly professional from the moment I called. She and her team assisted in clearing up immediate confusion and provided endless support over the phone as well as answering any and all of my questions in real time. Throughout the case, Denise won a Motion to Suppress, resulting in the complete dismissal of my criminal DWI charge, and she won my license hearing on appeal. Denise not only delivered on the request but she helped put a smile back on my face knowing I had the best defense in KC! Thank you Denise!

If you find yourself in the same trouble I was in-do not call any other law firm in KC - CALL DENISE! She is amazing! She not only calmed me down (because I was terrified), she kept me well informed and answered all my questions. The best part of all: Denise got my DWI case dismissed and won my licensing hearing. Trust me - Denise Kirby is the real deal in KANSAS CITY!!

I was charged with DWI and a lane violation and my BAC was .141. After reviewing the video and documentation, Denise was able to get both of my charges completely dismissed.

I was falsely arrested and charged with a DWI because I refused the breath test. Denise got the charge completely dismissed and won my license hearing (took away my license for refusing the breath test) at trial. She was able to efficiently point out to the young officer all of the mistakes he made before the arrest. He admitted to all of them and I feel like someone else will get a fair chance if pulled over by him in the future. I believe he learned a lesson.

I got charged with a DWI in September, 2022. I hired Denise Kirby and she started by calling me and getting all the information she needed from me asap. She was very impressive with how she handled the case and she constantly kept me in the loop with what was going on. After watching the video of my arrest, she filed for a motion to suppress and won that, which resulted in the case being dropped. She came to court incredibly prepared and had a counter for everything the prosecutor said. Overall, watching Denise handle this case was very impressive and I would highly recommend her to anyone in this situation.

Denise Kirby was able to get my DWI completely dismissed and all I received was pleading guilty to a lane violation with a small fine and no probation.

My legal experience with Denise was unbelievably amazing. After explaining my conviction, Denise was precise and detailed on formalizing the steps it would take in managing my case. After reviewing police records and video evidence, Denise diligently worked through my DWI arrest case, aligning with the courts and prosecuting attorney to amend my DWI to a C&I without having to serve probation. I couldn't be happier with the outcome and my life returning to normal without the stress that comes with a situation like this.

Denise came highly recommended to me and I really can’t thank my friend enough for this. I was pulled over and found myself in a big pickle, I was arrested and received a DWI. Denise not only won my license hearing but got my DWI amended to a lane violation with no probation. I’ve never heard of this outcome, but this woman got it done with her expertise and thorough examination of all footage. She’s one of the most thorough lawyers I have ever worked with and any questions I had were always answered quickly. Thank you for lifting that million pounds off my shoulders Denise, and I will ALWAYS have her number handy for any of my friends or family in need of help.

I got a DWI on a side by side, this was going to be my 3rd in my life. They were trying to charge me with a class E felony, I was looking at going to prison for 4 years. I hired Denise 5 days after I got arrested. I looked around and talked to a lot of other lawyers, but she is the only one to take time out of her day to really talk to me, and talk me through the process. She fought for me every chance she could. She got my case down to a class a misdemeanor and I only have to server 10 days in jail. I can’t thank her enough.
