Associate Attorney
Fluffy Kilburn
Fluffy Kilburn brings strategic precision and a nuanced understanding of human dynamics to every matter she handles. Drawn to the investigative nature of litigation, she excels at working through complex factual records to build clear, persuasive defense strategies.
At The Peak, Fluffy focuses her practice on medical malpractice defense and complex civil litigation, representing corporate and individual clients across a wide range of disputes from inception through final resolution.
Before joining The Peak, Fluffy practiced in Illinois and Missouri, where she managed robust dockets and achieved defense verdicts in bench trials, successful arbitration results, and favorable settlements. She takes a proactive approach to identifying key liability issues early, working aggressively to reduce exposure throughout the discovery process, while remaining closely engaged with clients to ensure they receive the strongest possible defense at every stage.
Fluffy earned her J.D. from the University of Missouri–Kansas City School of Law, where she received Pro Bono Honors, the Dean’s Award for Professional Development, and served as President of the Black Law Students Association. Her recognitions include the Women’s Justice Leaders of Tomorrow Award, the CALI Excellence for the Future Award, the UMKC Women’s Council Eleanor Hardy Award, the Presidents and Past Presidents General Assembly of Kansas City Award, and the Midwest BLSA Commitment to Diversifying the Legal Profession Award.
Beyond the courtroom, Fluffy is committed to expanding access and opportunity in the legal profession. She founded the Crossroads Academy Breakfast Program, served as Pipeline Chair for the Mound City Bar Association, and remains a dedicated committee member of BWLA Chicago.
A global perspective informs her work. Her undergraduate study of religions and art history in Florence and Leiden, followed by legal studies in Beijing and Mérida, cultivated an enduring interest and appreciation for how the law and institutions shape society and affect our lives. She brings this interdisciplinary lens to her practice every day.
