Even though my situation was a tough one, my experience with Kirby was an amazing one. I felt like he really fought for me and my family. He was there for us throughout a every challenge, guiding, fighting, redirecting. The reason I chose him was on the day I met him he looked me in the eye and told me he would fight for me. I felt that is what I needed, someone on my side willing to fight. He prepared me every step of the way. Even when I was unreasonable he had a way of letting me know, which is good because during such a stressful time, emotions get the best of us. The first time we went to court, all the other attorneys sat together in the front, talking, laughing and catching up, but Kirby sat by me...that gave me strength to get through. I felt he was professional and would recommend him. He's the BEST! (Michelle D.)

I cannot thank Kirby Minor enough for his incredible representation. We recently received a court ruling completely in my favor after a intense trial for a high-conflict child custody modification case in Jackson County, and I couldn't be happier with the outcome. As a father, navigating the court system is incredibly stressful, but Kirby was brilliant. He was incredibly strategic from day one and completely commanded the courtroom at trial. If you are looking for a top-tier family law attorney in Lee's Summit or the greater Kansas City area who knows how to handle high-conflict custody disputes and truly fight for your family’s best interests, look no further. Highly recommend! (Jeff R.)

I know Kirby to be an excellent attorney and trustworthy person who has been great to work with. Kirby stays three steps ahead with a very strategic mindset. It seems like every move he makes has a specific purpose. If you want someone who doesn't waste energy and stays focused on the goal, he is the one to call for help in Jackson County for sure. He has this black belt approach to his practice that is as unique as it is effective. He’s incredibly calm but knows exactly where the leverage is and uses it at precise moments to gain an advantage. On top of all that he is responsive, easy to talk to, and draws from a wealth of knowledge of not just the law but intuitive about how people react, respond, and behave. Glad to know he is just a phone call away when I need the best legal advice available. (Derek M.)
​
Kirby was amazing and took on my case when I thought I had no hope. He worked hard and continues to support my journey. I highly recommend him! The best feeling when you are in this position is knowing you have someone that will fight for what is right and someone that is truly in your corner. I wish there was more than 5 stars!! (Kate J.)

Kirby Minor was the best choice for a Divorce lawyer in Lee's Summit. He was easy to talk to and helped me through a difficult time with advice sometimes that went beyond just legal. Divorce and custody is devastating but Kirby was there every step of the way. Kirby cares about his clients and is there for encouragement but will also be upfront and honest about the process, potential outcomes, and cost. Kirby is very strategic and brainstorms literally every angle and aspect of his cases. All I know is that I knew from start to finish I was in good hands with a smart, knowledgeable attorney that had my best interest at heart and got my family the best outcome with minimal damage. Kirby should be the top choice for anyone looking for a bold and decisive lawyer with the experience and and track record to back it up. (Dan N.)
​
When finding a lawyer I was scared, and intimidated but Kirby made all my worries go away. Kirby responds, and talks you through everything. You can call or text him at anytime. If he does not respond right away he will respond within hours. Kirby takes you seriously and makes your problems his problems. He understands how stressful things can get when it comes to the court system. I would recommend Kirby over and over again. (Paige R.)
​
I just finished working with Kirby on a lengthy and nuanced situation. I’m very happy with the result and my experience with Kirby. You can tell Kirby has a great deal of experience which allows him to really know what the best course of action is. He can advise you what are the possible outcomes of each decision are so you can make the best decision at each turn. I’ve enlisted Kirby’s help in a new situation as well, which shows the trust I have in him. I believe what really sets Kirby apart is his quick communication. Kirby is very responsive so you will always feel like you are up to speed and on the same page with everything that is going on. The best compliment I can give is that I will be using Kirby for any future legal needs, and I would recommend Kirby to any of my friends/family. (Frank S.)

Kirby was our attorney for a very complicated and contentious child support and custody case. Kirby was exceptionally responsive throughout the process. He knew exactly when to take on a more collaborative approach and when to challenge the other side to maximize the best possible outcomes for our case. Throughout the entire process, Kirby acted with the highest level of professionalism and integrity. Kirby is the kind of attorney you want in your corner when the outcome really matters. Kirby comes with our highest recommendations and gratitude! (Annette N.)

I’ve been dealing with a difficult co-parenting situation, and Mr. Minor did an amazing job helping me with my case. He was very professional and handled everything in a timely manner. I will continue to use Minor and highly recommend him to anyone in need of his services. (Raven M.)

Literally the best lawyer! I hired Kirby after my divorced had been finalized with a previous lawyer and I wish I would have hired him off the bat. He is amazing, will fight for you, is super knowledgeable, and timely in responses! (Courtney Z.)
​
Kirby was extremely knowledgeable on the best strategy and navigating my complex divorce situation. He was prompt with his communication and I would recommend him if you are looking for someone to support you through the divorce process and handle your divorce with professionalism and empathy! (Janel H.)
Kirby and his law office were amazing! He always responded promptly and professionally. Going through a divorce is emotionally taxing... If you want to at least feel the burdens of getting divorced lifted from your shoulders I highly recommend Kirby. His prices were very affordable. During a trying time he will help alleviate some of the burden and fight for you! (Liz B.)​

Kirby is a great attorney. He does not over promise and is very detailed in everything that he does. He kept me very informed throughout the entire process and gave me great legal advice the entire time. He is also very fair on his hourly rate. I had nothing but a great experience with Kirby and would recommend him to anyone. (Jaden L.)
​
I recommend Kirby to everyone! I used him for my divorce and he helped me every step of the way. I have had to consult with him about a few issues even after the divorce and each time he has kept me calm and has been on top of everything. I feel so blessed to have him as my lawyer and would trust him with anything! (Laken G.)
​
From start to finish 5 STARS! Kirby and his staff made the inevitably difficult process of getting divorced as smooth as can be! I cannot thank them enough for their hard work and professionalism. I know not everyone has the same situation, but in the end there was no surprises, and everything happened exactly like Kirby said it would. Maybe I'm just one of the lucky ones, or maybe I just had a great lawyer! Thanks Kirby! (Alexander S.)
​
The absolute BEST law firm! I cannot say enough about the level of expertise and professionalism of Kirby Minor! Stressful legal situations are made much more bearable with Kirby Minor by your side! My questions are answered promptly and in “regular person” terms! Although no one wishes to be in the need of a lawyer, I know at times I was an unbearable client, but my case was anything but easy. I got the results I wanted and even if I could be gruff at times with him he kept a professional manor. Thank you for all that you do for your clients! (Jill V.)
​
Kirby and I met by chance while I was in a vulnerable state and he helped my through a few rough situations. His professionalism, drive, passion, knowledge of the law, and dedication was made very evident when he walked me through 2 lawsuits that I felt completely defeated and turned out to be victories (not only monetarily, but victories in knowing my mind and heart were settled as well). I, not one time, had to call/text/email Kirby or worry about the status of a case because he always kept me abreast of every motion, denial, or change at hand. I am beyond grateful to have Kirby Minor by my side and know that he will always abide by the law and his expertise is beyond measure. In saying all of that, 1000% yes I would only recommend Kirby. (Jon C.)

Kirby Minor has been my attorney twice and he is the best lawyer. He is smart and trustworthy and he always calls back right away and keeps you informed about your case. He is knowledgeable and sharp in many different areas of the law. He is a very compassionate person and you do not find that in most attorneys. I would definitely recommend Kirby Minor as an attorney and you will not be disappointed. (Cheryl S.)
​
