Testimonials

I’ve tried several cases with Kirk and his firm and they are my go-to-appellate counsel for all issues big and small. Having them sit with me through trial and on appeal gives me the confidence to know that I can focus on representing my clients and that Kirk and his team will help make sure that I’m protecting the record. They are excellent trial and appellate counsel and I cannot recommend them highly enough.

The attorneys at Durham, Pittard and Spalding are well-versed in the law, and have been instrumental in helping us to navigate the appellate pitfalls in medical malpractice cases and commercial litigation as well.  This demonstrates their versatility and willingness to take on the tough issues.  More than that, they are willing to get ‘in the trenches’ when called upon to do so, and bring value with every involvement.  I will continue to count them as members of my team.

Thad’s knowledge and guidance have been invaluable to my trial practice.  His understanding of the issues and potential responses has been an asset over the years.  I cannot imagine a serious litigation matter where I would not involve his firm.

Kirk and his team are the trial lawyers’ lawyers and is always my first call when facing legal issues my law firm needs help navigating. He is tenacious, fierce and aggressive and can go toe-to-toe against any adversary.  This is one firm you always want in your corner.

For years now, our firm has turned to Kirk Pittard and his team to help us fight the fight for our clients. No matter what court, no matter what county, they provide us with brilliant analysis of every legal issue that may arise. Their long impressive resume of important legal victories has made us feel comfortable that we are in the best hands . In fact, we have referred numerous other law firms to Kirk for assistance with their trial and appellate issues that always arise in litigation. For you and your clients, there is no better lawyer or firm to partner with on your cases. 

Whether you need help with a challenging motion for summary judgment (or any motion for that matter), or you are looking for someone to walk the path with you from case filing through trial and beyond, there is no better choice than Kirk Pittard and his firm. I know personally the skill they bring to the table and the peace that can bring to the trial team.  If you are thinking about adding Durham, Pittard & Spalding to your team, stop thinking and do it.  Your clients will thank you.

I think the lawyers at DP&S are the best. They’re always available to help and never too busy to say no, whether it’s a quick question, drafting a charge, MSJ response, or showing up at the courthouse when needed.

I often retain the attorneys at Durham, Pittard & Spalding for specific research and briefing projects and for co-counsel arrangements on complex personal injury cases.  They bring an insight to the case with an eye towards a potential appeal that ultimately adds value to the case by positioning the case for an appeal or by avoiding an appeal altogether.  I definitely would recommend them to other trial attorneys for litigation support at the trial level as well as for handling cases on appeal.

Durham, Pittard & Spalding has done an excellent job in hanging onto a verdict in a significant case for our client.  Their experience and appellate skills are the answer to a trial lawyer’s motion practice, post-verdict, and appellate needs.  As we know in Texas, it is hard enough to get a good verdict and even harder to keep it from being taken away by the appeals process.  Durham, Pittard & Spalding helps to increase the odds of keeping those verdicts.

I have worked with Kirk and his firm for over 15 years, ever since he convinced the Amarillo Court of Appeals to reverse a summary judgment that had been granted against my client.  I never hesitate to contact Durham, Pittard & Spalding any time I have a legal issue I want researched, analyzed and briefed to assist me in the representation of my clients.  I will continue to use the firm and rely upon their expertise for cases at the trial level and on appeal in the future.
