Client Success Stories

We are so grateful to you, Vaughan, and your law firm. Perhaps you are not aware of how effective you have been to the stabilization of this organization. It was through CELA that we first heard about you. We had a number of difficult cases that, for one reason or another, did not succeed through the Labor Commissioner's office.

You took on these cases and, through the contributory efforts of your "rising star" Arlo Garcia Uriarte, you secured justice for these working poor where, without you, there would have been no recovery or a significantly lower amount. I believe I can say this with certainty, because in our ongoing fundraising efforts, we reached out to all Bay Area CELA members, but none responded. You were the only "Player in Town"!

My world is so much nicer because of you, thank you so much for your kindness. I really don't know how to express my deepest gratitude to all the things you have done for me. You do have a very good and kind heart.

I will not forget all the good you have done for me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.­

I have known Vaughan de Kirby since he started practicing law in 1981. I have referred friends to him because I know he is the right lawyer! He has always been the kind of lawyer that really cares about his clients. When a client calls he returns their calls. He is careful to explain to clients their legal options. He stands behind what he tells his clients.

Over the years, on various occasions, Vaughan de Kirby has represented me, my wife, my daughter, my brother and my ­stepson. Each and every time he provided exceptional legal representation. He was always prompt to return our phone calls and answer our concerns. He cares about his clients as real people with important needs and works hard to see that their interests are protected.

May I first say how much I value your help over these years.

When I came to you for help applying for Political Asylum, you helped me a lot of times and thanks to your help I was granted Asylum. You did all this work for no charge. I will always be grateful, you have given me a life.

I will always pray for a long life and success in your business.
