Since she became licensed, Aimee has been involved in the following high-profile cases: Larcita Ramos vs. Community Redevelopment Agency (Angels Flight Cases); Robinson vs. Beverly Healthcare-California, Inc.; Bertoldo vs. Beverly Healthcare-California, Inc., and Olson, Et. Al vs. Jonathan Paul Michael Barber
Steve and Margaret decided to focus their practice on Plaintiff's personal injury work and specifically, Steve's passion, motorcycle personal injury accidents. As they both ride, this was a perfect fit for not only their business but leisure time as well. Since focusing their practice on serving Plaintiff's motorcycle personal injuries, they have been able to compete, by providing excellent personal service and by cutting the industry attorney fees for settling cases from 33.33% of the settlement to 19.99%. This puts more money in the injured party's pocket versus the doctors' and attorneys' pockets. Steve and Margaret have both been told this reduction in fees has forced other attorneys to also reduce their fees, thereby resulting in more money for the injured motorcycle rider. Steve and Margaret have been joined in their practice by their daughter, Aimee, who also rides and now the Firm is called Kirby, Kirby and Kirby. The hallmark of their personal service is that Steve is available 24-7 for anyone with any legal question.
Steven C. Kirby
Steve brings a wealth of experience to the Law Offices of Kirby, Kirby and Kirby. After a brief junior college stint, and facing a draft Steve enlisted in the U.S.M.C. and was given an honorable medical discharge after nearly two years of service. He not only put himself through Law School on the G.I. Bill but supplemented his income by re-building engines at night. Steve took and passed the California State Bar in July of 1978. It was while driving his motorcycle, over 30 years ago, that Steve met his wife Margaret, an east coast transplant, who attended the same law school as Steve.
Steve and Margaret hung out their shingle, shortly after they both passed the California State Bar. At first, they worked on private criminal work and personal injury cases as the practice prospered. In the late 1980s and early 1990s Steve and Margaret were retained by a nationwide airport transportation system and did common carrier defense work for approximately 12 years along with their Plaintiff's personal injury work. In doing common carrier defense work, Steve and Margaret represented every large taxi company and the predominant airport ground transportation companies in California and Arizona.
Recently, Margaret road her motorcycle to Laughlin, Nevada, for the annual run. The ride to Laughlin was slow, hot, and tiring, but Margaret endured, thrived and earned her biker stripes, so to speak. Margaret enjoys riding/traveling all over the West Coast, enjoys meeting new clients with her husband and daughter by her side. Margaret derives a sense of personal pride as she actively participates in the joy of riding her own motorcycle to the various rallies and runs out of the confines of Los Angeles.
Margaret Kirby
Margaret Kirby originally hails from the East Coast, and to this day, carries with her the same East Coast no-nonsense attitude towards litigating cases. Margaret left the East Coast in 1970 to enjoy the climate California had to offer. She attended the same law school as Steve Kirby, and graduated in 1979, a year after Steve. Mrs. Kirby's interest in motorcycles originated in 1977, when she met Steve. Although it was along time ago, Margaret still remembers how different a former Marine, with long hair, on a restored motorcycle, looked while attending law school.
After years of riding on the back of all the Harleys that Steve continually bought, restored, and then sold, Margaret finally decided it was time to own her own motorcycle. In 2004, after attending the California Highway Patrol's Motorcycle Training Class, Margaret abandoned her 125cc training bike, and bought a Harley Davidson Fat Boy. Her first motorcycle came complete with custom forks, bags, and plenty of accessories to keep her busy. Appearances for court are much more enjoyable while riding in the carpool lane on her new Fat Boy. After practicing law for over twenty five years, riding is an indulgence that Margaret thoroughly enjoys.
Aimee Kirby
Aimee E. Kirby's interest in the biker community goes far beyond simply representing clients and settling personal injury claims. Her approach to civil litigation emphasizes the fact that a personal injury accident affects a biker's entire lifestyle, by creating financial hardship, emotional trauma, and by robbing the motorcyclist of his or her favorite pastime. Aimee's inherent sense of caring and understanding assists her in dealing with the overall complexity of the issues faced by the biker community. Aimee's concern with the motorcyclist community has lead her to write a monthly column entitled Biker's Law and Insurance Issues, in Quick Throttle Magazine, (formally known as Full Throttle Magazine), in which she writes about legal and insurance issues affecting the motorcyclist.
Aimee's interest in practicing law began when she graduated from Loyola Marymount University in May of 1999, as a member of the Honors Society Sigma Tau Delta. The summer she graduated from Loyola Marymount University, she began attending Southwestern School of Law participating in the accelerated Juris Doctorate program, called S.C.A.L.E. Hoping to gain experience at the Federal Court level, Aimee spent the summer of 2001 as an intern at the United States District Court working with the Honorable Judge Rafeedie.
Aimee completed her Juris Doctorate work in 2001, and passed the California State Bar in November of 2001. Aimee has also taken and passed the Arizona State Bar, in 2003, and the Nevada State Bar in 2004.
