There are no words in short order to sum up who Donald Kilfin is as an attorney. He is kind-hearted, non-judgmental, charismatic, and very professional. He has been my notable advocate during the entirety of my case. Regrettably, in the past, I have been in need of a defense attorney. Mr. Kilfin, by far, has towered above any previous legal representation I have had. During my initial phone consultation with Mr. Kilfin, I explained my urgency for a defense attorney. During our first (and only) face-to-face meeting, he gathered the details of what happened from my standpoint. I must not forget to mention that he graciously came to my residence on account of I could not drive to his office at that time. Mr. Kilfin had a lot of questions for me as well. That is a humbling experience. I exposed intimate details of my past and present. He whole-heartedly looked me in the eye with not a blink of discrimination or judgment. NOT EVEN ONCE. I felt with complete assertion that there was no alternative attorney for me after consulting with others. My initial charge that I was arrested for was aggravated battery; great bodily harm. “felony” Before court, Mr. Kilfin worked with the state prosecutor to have it reduced to simple battery. “misdemeanor” The day of my court date, Mr. Kilfin had amazed me yet again, when he told me I was not going to be convicted of anything after all. To me, this is was truly unheard of. NO CONVICTION! Mr. Kilfin has an extensive legal background. You have to read it yourself, as I did, to believe it! He has accomplished so much already. He has also worked as a state prosecutor in the past, which definitely “sold me” while consulting with potential defense attorney’s for my case. He has both prosecuting and defending experience. That left me feeling reassured that with his law background and expertise in various areas of practice, he was “beyond comparison” the best choice for me. I had to put my faith and trust in Mr. Kilfin. That was a very valuable and eye opening lesson that he taught me, without him even knowing that, to this day. I believe the charge that I was arrested for was iron-handed and unchanging until I spoke to Mr. Kilfin for the first time. He always returned my calls within a reasonable amount of time. I suffer with anxiety so worry is a part of my everyday life. Mr. Kilfin was always there for my frantic pre-court jitters to assure me that he would do everything possible to give me the very best outcome within his reach, while still maintaining professional discretion. He never sugar-coated or gave false promises. Either way, he still gave me “peace of mind” during the entire process. If you are seeking a defense attorney that will do his very best to provide assurance, solace, comfort & peace of mind during the entirety of your case, I would strongly recommend Mr. Kilfin. For me, Donald Kilfin simply, DELIVERED.

Having been through this situation more times than I would like to have been I find myself in the hands of a true professional when choosing the Kilfin Law Firm. Unfortunately I have met several attorneys in my lifetime and have spent exhorbitant amounts of money being represented over the years. Without a doubt I had to take the time to express my most sincere gratitude to Mr. Kilfin personally, as well as the firm in general. To whomever is seeking an excellent attourney to represent himself in a life-changing ordeal I can guarantee that your life will be in the most professional, sincere and determined hands that you could ever have imagined. Words cannot begin to describe the wonders Mr Kilfin and his firm have provided me and my family in a time of such incredible need. I would never have thought in a million years that I would have been treated with such respect, loyalty and care from any attourney much less that the ending result would leave me with such admiration and gratefulness.For a single man and his firm to have taken upon themselves to make me feel that my dilema was the most important thing they could be handling and to back those feelings up to the absolute fullest. My experience with the Kilfin Law Firm was the greatest decision I have ever made in this lifetime. I will be forever in debt for a job extremely well done. Thank you for giving me this peace of mind.

I would whole-heartedly recommend attorney Donald Kilfin to anyone who happens to find themselves in need of a criminal defense attorney. Being a former prosecutor gives him a unique perspective of how strong or weak the prosecution’s case is. Mr. Kilfin is so detail-oriented that he reviewed witness statements line-by-line for discrepancies and/or inconsistencies. Every piece of evidence was reviewed and analyzed to decide the best way to use it. He kept me informed step-by-step throughout the whole process. His hard work and research allowed him to know my case inside and out, and he was quick to point out inaccuracies and falsehoods in my ex-husband’s testimony. Mr. Kilfin looked and acted like a professional throughout the three day trial. His closing argument was everything a client could ask for: he covered every aspect that needed to be said, and he had the jury listening intently and even nodding agreement when he pointed out facts of the case that proved my innocence and resulted in a NOT guilty verdict due to self-defense. Watching Mr. Kilfin during the trial was amazing and anyone in need of help should definitely contact his office.

I never thought I would have to employ a criminal attorney. After being wrongfully accused of a crime and enduring the humiliation of being processed and losing my job, I encountered further indignity from the criminal attorneys I interviewed. Most were uninterested in my case, citing its complexity and the work involved. Fortunately someone referred me to the Donald Kilfin Law Firm. Donnie is known for not backing down from a case because of the work involved or special circumstances. He not only took my case, but due to my unemployment, for a reduced fee as well. As a result of his hard work and exhaustive follow-through, my charges were completely dropped. Donnie has the experience, skill, work ethic and empathy you want on your side to win. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend the Kilfin Law Firm if you ever unfortunately find yourself in need of top criminal legal representation.

In Aug 2015 I was charged with a DUI and for a year the courts delayed the trial for a year. Mr Kelfin represented me in a jury trial in Aug 2016--for me a 37 year old woman it was a year of dread and being quite scared. Yet through it all Mr Kelfin was professional and really prepared me for what was to come.. The prosecutors (there were 2 against him) railed against my actions that was the basis for the charge yet Mr Kilfin stayed on each legal point showing the real possibility I was not --even tho I had some wine before the stop-- impaired to the extent that I was unable to operate a motor vehicle under Fla law. The jury returned a not guilty verdict in a very short time. I cannot tell you how I felt when I walked out of court into the hot Florida sun and my freedom JH Holiday Fla

Donald Kilfin is the best at what he does, hand down!! This attorney is intelligent, available, easy to talk to, caring yet aggressive & confident. His experience is obvious and he knows whom to talk to and what to do to get things done! He looks at all the angles and anticipates potential problems that might arise. He genuinely cares and strives to get the BEST possible results. It feels like his heart and soul goes into the case. Because he has a small firm he does all the work quickly without middle men. You never get lost in the shuffle. He always was informative on the procedures and what to expect next. Very, very, thankful for his help and highly recommend him!!

Donny handled a very difficult situation for me and my wife, his tenacity in my opinion is hard to be matched. Our situation was very unique in which it involved many states. he NEvER promised anything instead he said he would give it his very best shot his honesty helped me believe he would. He is very knowledgeable and had a plan of action from the get go. in our conversations the BEST possible outcome was mentioned to me as out ultimate goal. Well he followed through and we are now right where we had hoped we would be thanks to his court room etiquette, poise, and drive. Thanks Donny

During the time he worked in our case, he always showed knowledge, confidence, attention to detail, follow up, and charisma, a real sense of integrity, which made us at all times felt that we had made the right decision to work with him. Mr. Kilfin in my opinion worked above and beyond, responded to our many questions very quickly with true interest and desire to help. I thank you and feel a lot of respect for you.

Donny helps like I would have never expected. He would answer calls most of the time or return right away. Donnie did everything he could to help push case along, even calling+ meeting with a difficult other side. He is very persuasive in my favor + has great connections, he knows the ins+ outs of the system+ the people to talk to. He was easy to work with+ super down to earth. Truly recommend him if your in a bind or need the best legal help.
