I would highly recommend Donald James Kilfin. From the beginning of my case Mr. Kilfin worked VERY HARD on my behalf. I truly believe he ALWAYS had me and my families best interest at hand. I can tell that he worked hard to go the extra mile for us; keeping me informed of my options and working hard to fulfill our requests. I appreciated him so much that I recommended a friend from another state to hire him for their legal concerns. They too have been very pleased with how Mr. Kilfin directed and counseled them, continually advising them what would be best. He worked hard to have my case dismissed, constantly sharing with me and my family all our options. He continually took my concerns to heart. I did not want my family and the community to be drug into unnecessary court time. He worked hard on our behalf to make this a reality. Always working to fulfill our requests to the absolute best in a burdensome situation. I was pleased with the outcome considering how my options became limited. My case was dismissed. I had 3 different ways that my case could be dismissed as I was thankful that Mr. Kilfin persevered for this to become reality. Mr. Kilfin is a Lawyer that practices from the heart.

Hiring Mr Kilfin was the best decision I could have made to help my grandson. He was always available to explain what was going on with the case and the best way to proceed for the most favorable outcome. He definately went above and beyond for us. This is the second time I have hired Mr Kilfin for a loved one and if the need should ever arise, I would not hesitate to hire him again. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking legal help.

I ran into a situation in Pinellas county. Hired him the next day or so. Yeah, it cost some money. Very much worth it. He totally gave me a worry free representation. I didn't even show up for a single court date. He conveyed what needed to be conveyed to whomever it needed to be conveyed to understand the dynamics of what was really going on in the case. And he won. Has the right legal foundation. Aggressive approach. Hard working. He has a complete network. Lot of years working with all of the different outfits that concern law in his area. Stop looking for any other attorney right now. You just hire this guy cuz I said so.

I was distraught after a police officer gave me a ticket for speeding in a school zone. I walked into Donald's office and immediately began crying. Donald was not judgmental and he closed the door and passed me a handkerchief. I continued to cry and Donald made me some hot tea. We began to discuss my case and Donald told me I would probably beat the charges. I was elated. Donald did not rush me. In fact, he offered to take me out for a game of miniature golf to make me feel better. I accepted and we had a wonderful time. I thought Donald was compassionate and very kind. I am confident he will find a way to help me beat this charge. I plan to bring him a pot of chili the next time I see him.

From the minute I spoke with Mr. Kilfin, I knew I was in the best hands for my situation. He is a complete professional; an expert in his field! His commitment to his profession is astounding. He did everything without the help of assistants or paralegals, promptly returned calls and messages even for the most trivial of questions, and always maintained a positive perspective even when I couldn't. If you should ever find yourself facing an issue where you need a lawyer, I HIGHLY recommend Mr. Kilfin. He will not let you down!

First and foremost, if you're looking for an experienced attorney, Donny is your guy!! I cannot express my gratitude enough for all the help Donny has been easing me through the process from a simple mistake that he was able to turn around for me. Donny is extremely professional, thoroughly explained everything that needed to happen for the best possible outcome, and ALWAYS answered my calls even for the smallest of questions. He was fair, let me know all my options and was well organized throughout the entire process. It was nice knowing I was in good hands, as he is the only person that deals with each of his cases, unlike other larger firms who pass off a new attorney each time you visit. Take my word and retain Donny. He will not let you down!

Donny is smart, kind, a great communicator and a fine attorney. He will fight hard for you and make sure you are in-line with the entire process from a to Z. If you want an attorney that will answer the phone/text when you reach out, he's the man to call. I feel he is more than fair in his pricing and went above and beyond for me. With the time he put in on my case, I don't think he made a dime after all was said and done. That is his character 100%. He loves what he does and he does it for the right reasons. Don't keep scrolling, this is the attorney you need.

If you are looking for and need an exceptional and effective attorney then you have arrived at the correct location. Donny is one of the few attorneys that place his client needs above almost everything else. On his firm’s website he states that “My Clients Are Always My #1 Priority – I go above and beyond to make sure my clients’ rights are protected to the fullest extent of the law.” And that he is “committed to providing the residents of St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa, and surrounding areas with the highest quality of legal services, at affordable rates…” Those statements are not just words, but are actual reality. You’ll find no fake news or alternative facts here or on his website. Just pray that he is willing to take you on as a client. When I contacted a local well known attorney’s office, I was told by his office staff that there was nothing the attorney could (or would) do for me, not even granting me an office visit (I guess that was due to the nature of my alleged charges). Donny was open armed and he listen to what I had say, accepted me as a client, took the voluminous amount of papers that had I prepared for him and he read them all before our next meet meeting. Donny is always willing to listen to whatever you have to say. If you accidentally interrupt him, he will stop what he is saying and gently encourage you to speak your mind. He is willing to take your advice and act on possible alternative routes that might obtain results. As your attorney he’ll contact you and keep you informed and updated on your issues. Donny is a graduate of Stetson University College of Law with almost 20 years professional criminal law experience including a six-year career as a Pinellas County state prosecutor. He has received many citations and awards including being listed as in the TOP 100 TRIAL LAWYERS by THE NATIONAL TRIAL LAWYERS association. With his extensive knowledge, contacts, working relationships and friendships, he will serve you well as your attorney. I hope that you are fortunate enough (and smart enough to choose) to hire Attorney Donald J. Kilfin, Esq. No professionally honest attorney can guarantee that your issues will have positive results, but Attorney Donald Kilfin, Esq. does guarantee that he will do everything in his power to provide you with the results that you desire. Donnie likes to divide and conquer; when possible he will present one issue at a time to the Court (by not asking for too much at onetime it makes it simpler for the Court to provide the desired outcome). He has no problem with returning to the Court as many times as your issues require without charging you any additional fees. Going to Court with Donnie is as easy as spreading warm butter on hot toast. He will orally present the contents of the written motion to the Court and answer most questions for the Court. If the Court asks you any questions they usually will be few, short and easy questions. Before you know it, your time in front of the Judge will be history. Donnie has been at bat in the Court for me three times so far. Each time he has hit a home run for me. One of those times he saved an amount of money that was equal to about 6 times his fee. Another time he accomplished something that to our knowledge and the local Florida State officials’ knowledge has never been done before. Additionally Donnie was able to convince a determined probation officer not to file a VOP on me. Donnie cannot promise you similar results, but he can promise you he will do everything in his power to help you receive the results that you desire. I have given Donnie permission to discuss the details of above results with his clients.

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.

There are no words to describe the amount of appreciation our family has for Donny Kilfin. Not only once, but twice he has helped a member of our family in a time of desperate need. Years of jail time were being thrown at him but because of Donny’s excellent perseverance he was able to not only keep him from being incarcerated but completely TERMINATE his 6 years of probation! He handled this case so well, not only with professionalism but true compassion. He was so very thorough and kept us in tune to everything that was going on every time anything changed at all and explained everything step by step as to how things may turn out. We would highly recommend him to anyone. You will not be disappointed with Donny on your side. He really is one of a kind.
