Kirk Purcell

Great thinker was he. Powerful and creative trial lawyer.

Kirk was one of my best friends in high school. He was a great wrestler and a good student.

Met Kirk in the late 80's. He was my lawyer. Long story...but what he left me with was his genuine compassion and deep humanity... Even as my lawyer, he was also my FRIEND. The event leading to my legal case was deeply traumatizing. Kirk's closing argument was so profound, so powerful, it left the whole courtroom in quiet AWE. That day, I remember thinking: 'here's the next young senator - future president of the United States. THAT'S how impactful and powerful his words were. Found...

I was on the wrestling team with Kirk He was no doubt one of my best friends high school. Great guy all around.

Still missed.

18 years since you passed way too young. You gave them hell. Always coming up with new ideas on aspects of the law from theories to closing argument. You could do it all. We miss your spirit. Steve

I will miss his great spirit. Kirk saw the world through a lens at times hilarious and at times tragic. He was a good soul and a good friend. His heart was always on the side of the underdog. Like Clarence Darrow, he spoke for the poor, the weak, the weary. I will miss him a lot. We are poorer that he is gone.

What a unique and creative guy. Only wish he could have been with us longer. He will be missed.

I knew Kirk for many years and I can best summarize my thought of him in one word, "a thinker". I will miss his wit, charm and intelligence. Scott Brazil
