I spoke to 6 different lawyers prior to making my choice trust Steve Kilburn with my freedom, the future of my career, and the future of my family. From the first time we met, he explained to me what my realistic options were. I was facing 4 felonies (2 were from the prior year being tried by a public defender) and 2 misdemeanors. He took over both cases, and from the beginning, I knew I made the right decision. We were aligned on my life goals, and he fought for them as if they were his own. He kept me informed every step of the way and any questions I had were always answered same day via email. His assistant Bridget was vial to the flow of information. I ended up pleading to 2 felonies while the other 4 charges were dropped. I was facing over 3 years in prison and Steve was able to get me 2 years probation (ending in 1 if I stay in compliance) while allowing me to keep my profession and get my charges expunged a year after my probation ends. They saved my family life as well as my career. I couldn?t ask for better representation. I trusted Steve with my life and he did not disappoint. Thank you Steve & Bridget

Attorney Steve Killburn sat down with our family and reviewed our case. Steve listened to the all the details; twist and turns making notes and asking tough questions of us. After spending several hours with Steve and him explaining the law per the charges and our family interviewing him to ensure his ability as the stakes were serious our family decided he was the correct lawyer to represent us. The trial time spanned over a month with the Court and State pursuing a hard plea deal at the start and lesser pleas at several points along the way. Our family instructed Steve no deal would be accepted and only a full trial would be acceptable to us to prove the charges were false and we would accept the added weight and outcome of the trial. To say Steve had to think on his feet; deal with false statements and curve balls along the way would be a understatement. With Steve's pursue of the truth; many late nights and hours reviewing details with us; his video expert breaking video frames down for the trial that surprised all of us and questioning of witnesses he was able to show to the court what had really transpired. After one of the most stressful months our family has had to ever deal with we walked out of the court room with Steve Killburn and a heavy weight removed from our shoulders. Thank you Steve for believing in us. Your energy; hard work and ability to think on your feet was and is much appreciated.

JR is an amazing attorney and was able to get the best result for my case. From the very beginning, JR was extremely quick to respond to any questions and calm me down throughout the entire legal process. He explained everything step by step and simplified everything so that I could understand. JR responded quickly over phone/email/text even after hours and over the holidays. He was able to work around my schedule and make sure court went as smoothly as possible. Without giving specific details my charges were reduced and another charge was completely dismissed. JR is worth every dollar. I highly recommend him and the entire law firm.

From my first consult with Charlie Rittgers through my entire case led by Justin Sanders, I felt well informed and part of the team. Any and all questions I had were answered quickly and thoroughly and I always felt very confident I was in good hands. Daphne is the best Paralegal in the business. She's a rock star. I could not have asked for a better team. Very trustworthy, no 'curve balls'. I HIGHLY recommend and have been telling others the same. The conclusion to my personal injury case surpassed expectations.

I retained Emily to assist with a child custody matter, and it was obvious from day one that it was the best decision I could have made. She was able to quickly familiarize herself with the details of the matter and provided well-thought-out, sound advice, tirelessly advocating for me during a very difficult time. Emily was extremely knowledgeable and remained attentive throughout the entire process - quickly responding to questions or allaying any concerns I had. There is, without question, no one else I would trust any further custodial or family law matters to.

Emily Cochran is phenomenal! Emily takes the time to understand her client?s needs and is extremely attune to the complexities of the case. Emily?s investigations are thorough and her efforts are in depth, going repeatedly over and above to ensure details and conscientious preparation required for adjudication and representation are accomplished. Emily is 100% engaged,, competent, and highly relatable. I wholeheartedly recommend her as an attorney.

We contacted this law firm and a lawyer contacted us immediately. Mr. Kilburn was very professional and courteous. He sent us an email immediately with all the details of what he expected to do for us as well as what he needed from us. Having never been in this situation before, we were terrified. After that, he took care of everything and my son had no charges filed against him. It was such a relief. I would highly recommend Mr. Kilburn to anyone needing a lawyer.

Our son was in a horrific motorcycle accident when he was 18 years old. We had no idea what to do, how to deal with the the insurance companies, the enormity of medical bills in regards to who would pay for what, the police department, or even how to deal with the personal impact on our family. We were sent a mountain of flyers from attorneys wanting to represent our son, which was overwhelming to say the least. I was fortunate enough to have friends that referred Rittgers & Rittgers to us. From the very first interaction on the phone, and all the way through the entire process, every question, every concern, every everything was addressed. We were kept up to date with information that went back and forth between the police department, and the insurance companies. They even guided us in ways that we didn?t know we needed to know about. Their experience, professionalism, and compassion, surpassed our every expectation. I cannot say enough great things about this firm, or the people that represented our son. They are a remarkable group of people, and we are extremely fortunate to have had them represent our son.

Steve Kilburn and his assistant Bridget are superb. Steve is a highly skilled advocate for OVI matters, obtaining for me a very unexpected excellent result. I attribute this to Steve's advocacy skills and his familiarity around a courtroom. Aside from this, Steve has a great personality and a manner that instills confidence in his client, and most importantly, I observed that the court finds him to be very credible. He and his awesome assistant Bridget are very responsive, and no questions is to elementary or foolish - you get the time and in my case the right answers, even if it is not what you want to hear. Steve gets you the real risks involved in various approaches to help the client make a good, informed and thoughtful decision. Steve is exactly everything an attorney should be.
