So helpful!

Kimberly was so helpful with my in-laws estate before and after they passed. If we didn't hire her beforehand to set up power of attorney, trusts and wills there would have been so many problems and hold ups with their estate. We also set up our own power of attorney and living wills with her. Highly... recommend!

A caring and honest attorney

We worked with Kimberly after my Dad passed. She and her staff were extremely helpful and guided us through the entire process. We are still working with her on the trusts and the estate.

Estate Planning

I not only recommend attorney Kimberly Paton, but I guarantee once you have used her services you too will look no further. She responds in an extreme timely matter, she is a very knowledge, trustworthy person. There is no other attorney that will work as hard for you. I used Kimberly for my estate... planning. Kimberly is a wonderful attorney I could not have been happier and I will never go anywhere else. I highly recommend The Paton Law Firm.

Excellent Lawyer

Kimberly Paton represented us with my Mother’s estate planning, then after her death, with the sale of our family home. She came to our home to meet and discuss details with our Mom and was available every step of the way to answer our questions, as we made certain decisions that proved to alleviate ...undue tax burdens. As for the sale of our house, she and her experienced staff handled the details as well. They were always available to answer questions, and I have already recommended her to others.

Be careful

Submitted prior work from excellent estate lawyer who basically moved his practice to NYC. This law firm recommended to review and update everything. Sent back a minimal boilerplate which was in the previous estate plan. Never heard from again as to review(s) , desires recommendations, and what was n...eeded, etc. Got the job done by an excellent firm in paramus. Sorry to report/post this, but good estate and will work is critical. work is

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
