Compassionate, Reassuring, Goes the Extra Mile

I contacted Ms. Summers and consulted with her by phone regarding a summons my son received for a parks violation. It was a very simple case but she gave me excellent advice and I decided to retain her. She charged a very reasonable flat fee. Subsequently, we met with Kimberly and her partner Doug ...Schneider. They were very patient and reassuring, especially with our son, and we felt listened to and cared about. Doug represented us in court and we were very satisfied with the results. He went the extra mile to talk personally with the judge and to walk with us to the local precinct to engage the police regarding the park situation. I would strongly recommend Kimberly and Doug to anyone needing advice and/or representation regarding criminal law.

Consummate professional, stellar lawyer AND human being!

Kimberly was a consummate professional, instantly putting me at ease and giving me actual facts about how things would proceed in my case, as opposed to trying to scare me with worse case scenarios so that I would feel cornered into soliciting her services. she treated me like a human being, and her ...passion, expertise and extensive knowledge of the ins and outs of the legal system made me feel completely at ease in an otherwise nightmare situation where I could see no way out. Kimberly is amazing lawyer and I would STRONGLY recommend her services to anyone in need of help navigating the often terrifying and daunting court system.

Life Saver!!

She is a very good attorney,she help me get my life back, she guided me through all of the legal preceedings and is very knowlegable.But what stood out most about her is that she was extreemly honest with me since day 1, she really cared and I was not just a paycheck to her;but whats most important i...s that she got me out of a mess that I taught would end up in a disaster I would reccomend her to anyone who is looking for a great attorney.

  • 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.
