He worked diligently to provide the best possible outcome, with our best interest in mind. He was fair, genuine and extremely insightful. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of a trustworthy lawyer and fully intend on utilizing his capabilities if ever in need.” Happy client Mar 09, 2020

Trust & Respect; Donnie is all you Need Read More “From the moment he first answered my call via his mobile phone, I knew I had chosen the right attorney for my case. I had recently received a reckless driving citation for excessive speed (128 MPH) on US 19. Donnie went to work right away after my first and only visit with him. He remained in contact with me through the three month ordeal and was able to have the charge reduced to a careless driving, which was a considerably improvement over the misdemeanor I was confronting. Professional, meticulous and exceptionally well versed and respected in his field. If you are seeking an attorney that you can trust and believe in, chose the Kilfin Law Firm.

Make Choosing Attorney Donald Kilfin Esq. Your #1 Priority. Read More “If you are looking for and need an exceptional and effective attorney then you have arrived at the correct location. Donny is one of the few attorneys that place his client needs above almost everything else. On his firm’s website he states that “My Clients Are Always My #1 Priority – I go above and beyond to make sure my clients’ rights are protected to the fullest extent of the law.” And that he is “committed to providing the residents of St. Petersburg, Clearwater, Tampa, and surrounding areas with the highest quality of legal services, at affordable rates…” Those statements are not just words, but are actual reality. You’ll find no fake news or alternative facts here or on his website. Just pray that he is willing to take you on as a client. When I contacted a local well known attorney’s office, I was told by his office staff that there was nothing the attorney could (or would) do for me, not even granting me an office visit (I guess that was due to the nature of my alleged charges). Donny was open armed and he listen to what I had say, accepted me as a client, took the voluminous amount of papers that had I prepared for him and he read them all before our next meet meeting. Donny is always willing to listen to whatever you have to say. If you accidentally interrupt him, he will stop what he is saying and gently encourage you to speak your mind. He is willing to take your advice and act on possible alternative routes that might obtain results. As your attorney he’ll contact you and keep you informed and updated on your issues. Donny is a graduate of Stetson University College of Law with almost 20 years professional criminal law experience including a six-year career as a Pinellas County state prosecutor. He has received many citations and awards including being listed as in the TOP 100 TRIAL LAWYERS by THE NATIONAL TRIAL LAWYERS association. With his extensive knowledge, contacts, working relationships and friendships, he will serve you well as your attorney. I hope that you are fortunate enough (and smart enough to choose) to have Donald J. Kilfin, Esq. as your attorney.” Ken H. Feb 21, 2019

Being a former prosecutor gives him a unique perspective of how strong or weak the prosecution’s case is. Mr. Kilfin is so detail-oriented that he reviewed witness statements line-by-line for discrepancies and/or inconsistencies. Every piece of evidence was reviewed and analyzed to decide the best way to use it. He kept me informed step-by-step throughout the whole process. His hard work and research allowed him to know my case inside and out, and he was quick to point out inaccuracies and falsehoods in my ex-husband’s testimony. Mr. Kilfin looked and acted like a professional throughout the three day trial. His closing argument was everything a client could ask for: he covered every aspect that needed to be said, and he had the jury listening intently and even nodding agreement when he pointed out facts of the case that proved my innocence and resulted in a NOT guilty verdict due to self-defense. Watching Mr. Kilfin during the trial was amazing and anyone in need of help should definitely contact his office.” Mad Cad Feb 21, 2019

The "Iron Man" of Criminal Defense Attorneys!!! Read More “Attorney Donald Kilfin inherited my criminal case (consisting of five felonies) from my previously retained counsel. By the time he became involved, my legal situation had gone from bad to worse, with a minimum mandatory 10/20/life sentence. Issues were further complicated by various factors including family dynamics, mental health issues, and the necessity to deal with a highly bureaucratic Veteran's Administration system ... not to mention my own stubbornness and lack of patience. But through his tenacity, sincerity, diligence and persistence, Mr. Kilfin was able to secure an adjudication withhold and a brief term of probation, which is a rarely, if ever achieved outcome under these circumstances. I have worked in the legal industry for over twenty-five years. Attorney Donald Kilfin is without question a rare breed among his colleagues, and I would recommend none other.” Richard A.

You are looking for someone who will provide you the best representation in a very complicated legal system. Donald Kilfin is that attorney. Donald represented my son who was charged with multiple felony charges. Based on the charges he was looking at a substantial prison sentence. He was very through in his investigation of the charges. His experience both as a prosecutor and a defense attorney allowed him to effectively work with the prosecuting attorney. He was able to negotiate reduction of some of the charges and a dismissal. Outcome 7 months in county instead of years in state. He exceeded our expectations. The amazing thing about Donald is his communication skills.

He is the Best Lawyer & Worked Tirelessly for the Best Deal. Read More “My son made some bad choices and he needed a good criminal defense lawyer. He was charged 23 felonies. He was going to go to prison for 12 to 15yrs and being charged with even one felony would have ruined the rest of his life. Donnie was more than we could have ever hoped for. He informed us of all our choices and he told us what he thought was the best option in this case. Donnie got the DA to give our son the First Offenders deal. Not only did he not go to prison, Donnie got all the felonies reduced to misdemeanors and he only had to serve six months in jail with probation afterwards. I don't know what I would have done without Donnie. I thought my sons life was over and he is only 19. Donnie held my hand through it all. He never failed to talk us through it or call us back when we had a question or concern. He helped my son through this whole ordeal. He has made a big difference in my sons life, and mine.

Not only did he not go to prison, Donnie got all the felonies reduced to misdemeanors and he only had to serve six months in jail with probation afterwards. I don't know what I would have done without Donnie. I thought my sons life was over and he is only 19. Donnie held my hand through it all. He never failed to talk us through it or call us back when we had a question or concern. He helped my son through this whole ordeal. He has made a big difference in my sons life, and mine. If you need a lawyer that is on your side Donnie Kilfin is your man!!! He will work until he gets the best deal you could get.”

He was very respectful and did not judge. Read More “I hired Donny as my lawyer for a DUI case. He was very knowledgeable and kept me up to date with everything that was going on. He did everything he could to get me the minimum penalties possible, and succeeded in doing so. I did not have to go back to jail and was sentenced to only 40 hours community service, one year probation and a fine. He was able to speak to the policeman and got the officer to drop my administrative license suspension. He was very respectful and did not judge me for the mistake I made. He was very fair with his pricing. I would definitely recommend him. The whole process was new to me and he kept me well informed and made it so much easier for me and my family to understand.” Kelli Feb 21, 2019

Successful, Knowledgeable & Caring Attorney. Read More “Based on Mr. Kilfin's credentials (and that of his partner) as well as the information provided on his website, I decided to call for an initial review. From the moment I first talked with Mr. Kilfin I knew I had selected the right attorney. He listened carefully to everything I had to say and then fully explained the issues involved with my case. He explained each element of the charges, enumerated the specific points of the law which would impact my case, and ensured that I understood everything fully. He then outlined the measures he would take (in collaboration with his partner) to defend me if I chose to retain him as my attorney. Only after I had been given everything I needed to know was the issue of cost(s) mentioned...costs which I found very reasonable. I then requested an in-person meeting wherein he immediately made room for me on his schedule. He is very personable and knowledgeable and took as much time as I needed in order to be comfortable with my decision to retain his firm. Meeting personally with Mr. Kilfin only confirmed that I had made the right choice. During the time he represented me, I was kept informed of every action taken related to the case. More than just a client-attorney relationship, he expressed and demonstrated genuine concern for me. Due to his persuasive written arguments and personal contact with the prosecutor, the charges related to my case were dropped. I give my highest recommendation to Mr. Kilfin.” Richard Feb 21, 2019

Best attorney in Pinellas hands down!!! Read More “I am not sure where to begin as my emotions overwhelm me..... Donny you have believed in me since day 1 and for that I am eternally grateful!!! You represented me first in 2015 and helped walk me through my v.o.p. by giving me guidance and helping pick me back up to get on the right track. With your persistence and my willingness you were able to keep me out of jail and I got my probation terminated early. That is where my relationship started with you and I did well for a while, but it wasn't long before my addiction consumed me again and caught 12 more charges!!!! I came to your office completely broken and extremely intoxicated and cried and begged for your help. You just observed my physical and mental state and said " Melanie you lost the fire in your eyes". You reluctantly agreed to represent me. My bond got revoked due to my erratic behavior and I ended up in jail on all 12 theft related charges. As I sat there facing prison time in a state of such despair and depression, you began fighting for my life when I had given up! You came to visit me in jail and offer me words of encouragement. You fought so intensely to get me into drug court, even though I had no drug charges. God willing, that's when I got sentenced to 7 months, inpatient rehab (West Care). You assured me this was the best choice that I could make for my life and were right. I surrendered and committed my whole being to a new way of life. Now I sit here a changed woman, someone that is confident, walks with integrity and humility, and strong through my faith in God. I just celebrated 1 year COMPLETELY clean and sober!!! I can be a mother, daughter, and girlfriend to my family!! Donny you are no longer just my lawyer, I have developed a personal relationship through this journey and look to you as a friend and role model. I thank you so very much for being so passionate when it comes to your career, which allows you to provide excellence as a defense attorney!!! I am so happy I choose you to represent me!!!” Melanie M. Feb 08, 2019
