Testimonials

I have worked Kirk Pittard and Thad Spalding on several of our high-profile cases and they are a huge asset to the case.  Their motion practice and attention to appellate issues during the litigation and trial phases has allowed us to succeed on multiple occasions.  Kirk and Thad are very responsive and I would highly recommend them as appellate counsel.

DP&S has consistently done exceptional work for our firm. On top of providing appellate briefing that always outperforms opposing counsel’s, DP&S has helped us to secure favorable arbitrability rulings, uphold discovery orders on mandamus review, and craft litigation strategy around thorny coverage issues. They’ve become a go-to for our firm on all cases that reach appeal or appear likely to do so. We highly recommend them for any case that merits intensive legal research or briefing.

Working with Kirk has been a wonderful partnership that we’ve utilized when needed.   The work ethic, depth of their knowledge, and the value they bring to cases has been a real asset for us in those cases.  They are stand-up lawyers and professionals that you want to be standing shoulder to shoulder with.

I have worked with Kirk Pittard and Leighton Durham on several cases and can say with confidence that their big picture analysis, research, and briefing skills added value to the cases.  I believe having able appellate counsel assisting with the legal issues that come up in a case is invaluable.  Kirk and Leighton fit the bill.

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, and Spalding are the ‘Go To’ team for strategic litigation support and appeals. They have provided assistance from preparing and arguing pretrial motions to drafting ‘high low’ agreements, jury charges, and everything in between. Their success on appeals is unparalleled. When I needed help on a tough legal issue on a case involving a close family member, I trusted Durham, Pittard, and Spalding to come up with the winning argument.

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.

Durham, Pittard & Spalding has always come through for us when we want assistance with research, writing, and tackling difficult legal issues that we use to assist us with litigating and trying complex personal injury cases.  I will never hesitate to contact them when the need arises.

Our law firm has worked with Kirk, Leighton, Thad and their team for over 10 years.  From jury charge conferences and throughout the appellate process, they have been there with their tenacious expertise.  Their creative approach assisted our firm in securing a $20 million settlement in a complex construction defect and fraud matter, created positive case law concerning Chapter 74 reports, and we are currently working with them on other matters.   Their work allows us to focus on the trial process and we always know they have our back!
