Went in for a divorce not know what to do or where to start. Talked to Mr.Bottner got everything figured when we went to court the first time and it was the last time. Works with you with everything. Would recommend him to everyone.

Have been with this attorney working on my late mother's case for a little over a year. Right now I have to commend this office and say that they are a CLASS ACT. Espically Mrs KAREN Johnson. Not only has she been a shoulder to cry on that showed the GREATEST level of compassion and empathy to my brother and I but, she also is detail oriented and bust her butt to fulfill every single thing she says she'll do . Every call, email, or question I have ask has been taken care of the fullest with then taking their time to explain . I highly recommend if you , a friend, or loved one has been in a car accident to call this attorney. There's no beating around the bush nor promises made. He has a straight up approach and to me thats all I need in an attorney. Kudos!!!!
Been Kirk Botner has been my families attorney for over a decade. Very friendly employees, knowledgeable.

Kirk represented our family against an overzealous slumlord, illegally renting and harassing their tenants. Of course, we got the results we wanted. WV isn't a tenant friendly state, as a result it attracts more than it's share of low margin landlords. Make sure you retain Mr. Bottner. He's well versed, level headed, prompt and attentive. He walked us through each scenario then delivered on the best. Thanks, Kirk! You saved us a lot of hassle.

I have needed legal counsel on a few occasions regarding civil disputes, a car accident and one issue that lead to unnecessary legal complaints. This was a nuisance, to say the least! However, Mr. Bottner has always excelled at representing me, my best interests and in reaching the desired outcome. Always highly recommend him, his team and his staff!

My husband and I had an initial consult via phone call this afternoon. We paid $250 and we had a good conversation with Mr Bottner; however, we were scheduled for 2pm and as it turned out, Mr Botner also had a 3pm appt. Because we were short on time, Mr Bottner said he would have his staff send a contract and we could put him on retainer at that point. My husband received a call shortly after from a staff member who asked him if he would be paying the entire $2500 today to which he asked what other options were available. His question seemed to offend the staff member who told him that his options were whatever Mr Bottner had explained to him. My husband stated that Mr. Bottner had not had time to go over things, so the staff member gave him the option of paying half today and making monthly payments for the rest. My husband asked a few questions such as would there be interest on the payments if he went with that option and how may payments/how much for each payment. The answer to every question was "I don't know". Suddenly the staff member hung up. When my husband called back, the staff member said his only option other than paying in full today was to pay half now and half in two weeks. She also said she could not send him anything paperwork/contract wise until he paid half today, and that she was busy and Mr Bottner should have explained this to him. My husband reminded her that Mr. Bottner had not had time at which point the staff member began raising her voice to the point that my husband held the phone away from his ear. He told the staff member to let Mr Bottner know that He wasn't able to agree to terms without knowing said terms and that he wasn't able to give his business to someone who allowed him as a client to be treated in such a way.
If Mr Bottner reads this and your calls are recorded, I'm begging you to listen to the phone call. We understand that no one wants to be working on a Friday afternoon, or that maybe the staff member was having a bad day, but we are shocked at not only the fact that the staff does not know any answers but also that we could be treated so horribly by someone we were choosing to rely on.
After reviewing the reply left an hour ago, I now believe the staff is incompetent and the phone call was NOT reviewed. Knowing the price of intrest before paying is quite a bit different than paying before court which would make sense. Our call never dropped, and that would have been clear had the call been reviewed.

I am absolutely amazed by legal representation. My attorney"Kirk Bottner" was great.. My legal charges were serious, and thanks to these guys they were reduced to nothing but a small fine and dismissed. They were professional, kind and stayed in contact with me regularly throughout the whole case. Thanks mr. Bottner... Thomas Dillow

Mr. Bottner represented me fairly and communicated with me regularly. My case was resolved quickly. I have done business with this firm in the past and will continue to do so in the future when needed.

Mr. Bottner, and especially his paralegal, Amanda, provided me with superb legal representation in a recent family matter. I could not be happier with the service they provided. In addition, many years ago, Mr. Bottner provided me with superb legal representation in the face of 2 unjust misdemeanor accusations against me, and, again, I could not be happier with the services provided. I would recommend Mr. Bottner as a legal representative to anyone without hesitation.

Mr. Bottner attempted to represent my daughter in her divorce and custody case. Initial consultation paid...retainer paid....she could never get anyone to return her call if she had questions. However, if there was a new bill for expenses she would receive call after call from his office requesting payment. On the day of her final hearing we arrived to court to find that Mr Bottner had excused himself from representing her "due to communication issues". We would have better off with a random court appointed attorney.

Kirk was very informative and comforting thru the process. Dates and times were on the mark and he was punctual even with his busy schedule. It was a hard time and experience and he understood I needed guidance

Mr. Skillman was wonderful to work with on my Custody Modification. He was very respectful of my time as a school teacher. Additionally, was very helpful considering I live 400 miles away in NC. I would definitely recommend him to my family and friends.

I did not write the original review however, I will say that I am not happy with his front office staff. Until I became a pest to the office did I feel like I was supported by my attorney. My attorney withdrew from my case when he saw a poor review. I will not use this firm again, I paid upfront and when I needed help the most I didn't feel supported. My biggest complaint is the lack off communication I received. It did improve at the very end his representation but once the review was seen by my attorney he dropped me as a client. There was no effort to rectify the situation or address it with me even though I told him I didn't know about the posted review at the time of the phone call notifying me he is withdrawing from my case.

My experience having Kirk work for me was great. He always worked hard and was never ready to give in. He was very professional! He took my case pro bono and gave 100%.

Mr Bottner represented me for my divorce in 2012. I was so happy with the outcome that I am returning to him to discuss modifications because of my medical retirement from the military.
The office staff is wonderful; very understanding, accommodating, and extremely friendly. They turn dealing with attorneys into a much less painful process. They are very much like family members.
I cannot say enough how good it has been for me to find this caliber of law office in a small town. Made me feel like I was dealing with the heavy hitters in a major city for a deeply discounted price.
OUTSTANDING LAW FIRM!! I would most definitely recommend Mr. Bottner to anyone needing legal services in the panhandle of WV.
