Kirkland & Sommers Co., L.P.A. - Dayton, Ohio

I truly can’t recommend Brian Sommers enough. Given the situation at hand, Brian pulled me out of a fairly dark place and helped me get to my two kids. He’s an all around great guy and his staff were always there to help. I was referred to Brain by a friend and it felt like he treated me as if I’ve known him for years. Best wishes Brian and thank you for everything.

Attorney Sams did an outstanding job handling a jurisdiction change and custody modification for me.

He clearly explained possible outcomes and reasonable expectations during the months long process.

I felt like he actually listened to the details and made our case based off of those details rather than just trying to build a one-size-fits-all case.

He was more than fair with charging/pricing. He was great with communication and getting back to me in emergencies. His assistant, Donna, was beyond helpful also and answers questions quickly or forwarded them to the attorney if needed.

I definitely recommend this office for your family court issues, and will use them again if ever needed.

Standard of Excellence~

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 I hired my first attorney before Brian. Hiring Brian will be the best money you will ever spend. He will likely talk about my case for the rest of his career in law, and I will forever be grateful for all the support and hard work he and his wonderful/talented staff have done (and are doing) to get my children back where they belong. Miracles do happen when you have Brian on your side! That said, Brian truly represents the standard of excellence when it comes to finding the right attorney to represent you and your children's needs.

I've only just gotten started with my case, but the staff and attorney Sams have all been helpful, friendly, and patient with any questions.

I feel like they took the time to make sure that I understand and have reasonable expectations of outcomes.

They have been easy to work with and prefer digital copies if at all possible which I like because it saves me the hassle of trying to print so many documents.

They price, and charge, at a reasonable and fair rate. They clearly explain upfront how you will be charged for different services, so there should be no surprises.

Communication has been really great. Donna has been a great help in answering questions quickly.

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.

Never ever in my life would I have thought that I would need a divorce laywer, but after researching and meeting face to face with several different attorneys, I chose to work with Brian Kruse, and haven't regretted the descision to do so even for a moment.
Brian and his team are very knowlegable and professional. I was pleased to hear him speak of prior experiences and be very open and honest about some of the particulars of my situation.
As a young person, and as someone who has limited knowlege of court interactions, how to navigate through a divorce, AND a custody/shared parenting case - Brian was extremely helpful and tirelessly patient to walk me through my options and possible outcomes. He was ready to offer suggestions when I asked for help, and was equally willing to let me make requests and take charge when I was comfortable with doing so.
Brian has been such a great advocate and, considering the less-than-desirable circumstances, I've been very thankful for his help with being able to move forward with life.
I would highly recommend Brian Kruse in a heartbeat!

I hired Brian Sommers for a very difficult custody case. I'm not a fighter and typically give in for the sake of taking the path of least resistance when it comes to the ex. Brian assured me continuously that we had to fight and would win. The best interests of my daughter was at stake and had he not kept insisting we fight, I would have given in. Brian is a bulldog in the courtroom. If you want to see your opponent get ripped to shreds or watch them squirm under the intense heat from Brian (which is really tough to witness) then he is the counsel for you. He does not back down, barrels through the discomfort of others and really does fight for what is right. I gained full custody of my daughter after 9 years of shared parenting which is very difficult to terminate. If you want to win and have nerves of steel to watch him annihilate the opposing party, Brian is the attorney for you. I highly recommend him and will continue to send referrals his way.

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.
