About
I've lived in the Kansas City area most of my life, and I have practiced law in Kansas City since I graduated from Georgetown University Law Center in 1994. I am the President of the Missouri DWI Defense Institute and the Missouri Society for Criminal Justice. I'm the Co-Chair of the Missouri DWI Institute Summer Series, a DWI training seminar that teaches attorneys how to better defend DWI cases. My peers have selected me as one of very few "Super Lawyers" in the area of DUI/DWI Defense in the states of Missouri and Kansas. I am the former Co-Chair of The Bernard Edelman DWI Law and Science Seminar and have served on the Board of Directors for the Missouri Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and as a member of the MACDL DWI Committee. When something is wrong with my car, I have no idea whether I can tust the mechanic. I imagine it feels that way to clients looking to hire a lawyer. When interviewing an attorney, ask many questions about his or her experience with your type of situation. Ask what they do to better themselves and keep up with the law and science of DWI. What courses have they attended recently? Are they asked to speak at legal seminars to teach other lawyers DWI defense? Do they try cases? Importantly, DO THEY WIN? Don't be afraid to ask these questions. You're hiring someone you will be trusting with your future.

Searching fora DWI layer isn’t pretty and it isn’t fun. Most will find it scary, having seen Denise’s reviews and her achievements I put faith and trust into her and reached out. Not once did I question my decision after getting in contact. Denise thoroughly laid the steps she would take and how the process should play out. Denise asked the necessary questions and responded in detail every day along the way. My case was not pretty nor was it a easy win (although she made it seem that way). I was pretty much caught red handed and took the wrong steps during my arrest. Denise won my refusal hearing and all charges including my DWI, failure to yield to an emergency vehicle and careless driving were all dismissed. I mean it with all my being I owe her more than money. She saved my future literally and I could not have asked for better representation. A+++ . I will recommend her to family and friends if need be and I recommend if your reading this to trust your gut and Go with Denise.
I spoke with several friend and family attorneys. Each time I walked away with the impression that all they could do is help with the filings and going through the motions of dealing with a DUI. Denise was the only person I spoke with that gave me confidence that my DUI was something we could beat, and that there would be as minimal interference with my life as possible. The longer I worked with Denise, the less stress I felt about my DUI. That alone was invaluable. Denise Kirby not only made the entire process as stress free as possible, she was also able to get both charges brought against me dropped; a possibility I could never imagine with any of the other attorneys I’d spoken with.
Wow! Where to begin..... I made some bad decisions that could have potentially have huge impacts on my life and career. I was on on 4th alcohol driving incident, with the last one causing damage to other people's property. I needed a lawyer who would mitigate the consequences so I could get back to leading a normal life. Denise was that lawyer.... From the initial consultation I felt that she truly did know what she was doing. She was upfront, honest and reassured me that she would do everything in her power to ensure that this did not completely ruin my life. The entire case drew out an entire year with Denise not backing down and using her professional acumen to ensure that I got the results that I felt comfortable with. End of that day, I got an SIS (record will be cleared of anything after probation). This is an amazing result considering my record and the accident that damaged another person property. Do not hesitate to hire her, she is skilled, caring, upfront, honest and she is the best at what she does.
She never failed to put her best foot forward in my defense , she took everything I said I needed to happen into consideration when advising me of the case and where we stood , got the results I asked for and I would recommend her services to anyone who needed a first class defense .
Denise was very responsive when I had questions about my case. She always took the time to make sure my questions were answered and gave me realistic expectations on my outcome. She works very hard, early until late, every day for her clients. I was up against my third DWI and thought the worst. She was able to negotiate a judgment that was very fair and much better than I thought I could ever have gotten. I highly recommend Denise!
She did an amazing job analyzing my case, and keeping me informed with what was going on. I felt confident throughout that she knew what she was doing and was knowledgeable.
I hired Denise to help me after I received a dwi. She was a true lifesaver. I had already hired a lawyer in my hometown who was doing the best he could, but I wanted better. Denise helped me with the administrative hearing on getting my license back. My first attorney told me that I might loose my license for ten years, and that he just wasn’t for sure; not to mention interlock on my car too. I saw that Denise had won several administrative hearing trials where most attorneys won’t even attempt them. She went to bat for me, and was I ever grateful. She took the case found evidence where the cop had lied, and showed the judge the evidence and gave them the choice. We won the trial and I had my license back in the mail shortly after that. She even followed up after the trial with the department of revenue for me. I can’t say enough good things about her. She is very professional. I would say the best in the state! Thanks again Denise forever grateful!
I had an issue that she couldn’t help me with but was able to give me information about my case for free. She is very helpful and knowledgeable. I wish I could have used her but my case was too far away from her office.
I am not proud of the number of DUI's I've had which is why I'm writing anonymously. That being said, I couldn't be more pleased with the results Denise negotiated for me. I had my license back in 1 year and only 2 days shock time. I don't say this to brag, but to show what an Amazing lawyer Denise is. I was afraid of going to jail, losing my job, my house.......my life. Whether it's your first or eighth offense, you want Denise Kirby fighting for you. She is professional and will work tirelessly to defend your rights. I believe her name and reputation precedes her in any court in Kansas City and surrounding areas. I promise, you will not be disappointed.
When I got my DUI I went to Denise and she was on top of her game! She helped me out big time definitely my top DUI lawyer of choice!
