Like a divorce, a dissolution ends in the termination of the marriage.

Mr. Kruse is an excellent attorney!! He's fair, and doesn't hold back. I've referred family and friends to him and their law firm. Well worth the cost, unlike other attorneys (will remain nameless) you'll not be sorry if you hire this law firm

Mr. Kirkland is hands down an amazing, experienced, and knowledgeable attorney! He’s represented me before and I had the outcome I wanted. He’s currently representing me again and I have faith in him and his expertise. I have also recommended my family members to seek counsel from him and I don’t do that unless I am fairly confident that they will be as pleased and well taken care of as I was.

Hired Craig Sams to represent me during post degree filings. Mr. Sams talked a great game during the hiring process until it came time to actually accomplish anything. He was arrogant, dismissive and rude on more than one occasion. To say it is all about the money is an understatement when dealing with this firm ($55 to forward an email with no explanation or thoughts, just hit send). Kirkland & Sommers needs to realize that they are not doing a customer a favor by representing them, it is actually the other way around. I have been taken for $2800 and I am no closer to having my issue resolved

Mr. Kirkland, is amazing and got me through a very difficult, long, and contentious divorce. He helped me keep full custody of my child during and after the divorce. He saw through all my ex's attempts and dirty tricks to try and slander and paint me in a bad light during the long fight. He came through like a champion. I recommend his and his law firm to anyone going through a divorce. I am very happy with the outcome. He fights for what is right.

Hired Brian S. Many years ago in a high conflict custody dispute. I can tell you that this is the attorney for you if you are in a high conflict case. He is honest and reliable and genuinely CARES! He is on point and very compassionate and a great advocate for you. If you are scared and hesitant about hiring a lawyer and who to trust please trust me and go with this man. He is incredible and will work hard for you. You wont find another attorney out there that is as honest and caring about you and your case.

Hired Brian Sommers to help my husband get parenting time/custody after bio mom ripped his daughter out of his life for the umpteenth time. Brian has been worth his weight in gold so far. While he is pricey, I wouldn't consider using anyone else. We are just a couple weeks from the actual hearing and I am confident in the ruling that Brian will help get

Mr. Kirkland was recommended to us and he did an excellent job! He understand our case when no other attorney did. He put in a lot of work doing research in our case and he did an excellent job in the court room. The communication was also great although we are a military family and we live out of state. Mr. Kirkland's number will always be on speed dial, he became a friend! We can highly recommend Mr. Kirkland and his law office.

Brian is passionate about what he does, and it shines through in everything he does to advocate for his clients whether inside or outside the courtroom. Brian is a well respected attorney in the community, and he never misses a beat. My case has been an uphill battle (as well as an extremely difficult case to fight) but Brian has never let me down, and there is no other attorney better equipped for my case. Brian has been such a strong advocate for my family, and I would never dream of using another attorney. NEVER cut corners when it comes to family matters, as I did when
