Founded in 2006, Kirkpatrick & Goldsborough, PLLC, is committed to providing the highest-quality legal representation to individuals throughout Vermont. As a midsized firm, we provide access to five highly experienced lawyers while maintaining the feel of a community firm. Our attorneys have decades of combined experience in litigation in state and federal courts, and we have successfully argued cases before the Vermont Supreme Court and various U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals. Together, we offer a full range of legal services to meet our clients' goals.
An Emphasis on Understanding Our Clients' Needs
We believe that superior representation begins with understanding our clients' concerns and addressing their questions about the legal system. Ours is a professional firm, driven by the idea that by providing a welcoming environment for our clients to explain their needs, we can work together to devise a winning legal strategy. Whether our clients have been arrested and charged with a crime, are beginning the divorce process or believe they have a personal injury or tort claim, we allow the client to tell us the story and see how we can help. We understand that many clients approach the law with trepidation; when our clients are experiencing difficulty and turn to us, we provide assurance that the legal system can work in their favor.
Once we have ascertained our clients' legal needs, we develop the representation strategy most likely to achieve their goals. We are zealous advocates in litigation and highly skilled problem solvers: Partners Mary Kirkpatrick and Richard Goldsborough are both trained in mediation and collaborative law, and our firm believes in using alternative dispute resolution when in the best interest of our clients. Whether through negotiation with the other side or aggressive litigation in the courtroom, our goal is success and client satisfaction, every time.
