Excellent!

After three and a half years with another attorney and my case going nowhere, I knew I had to do something else. I hired Kim. Due to my case dragging on for so long, only a couple weeks after hiring Kim, the court called her and said they were denying any further adjournments in my case and either ...we had to have a settlement in four days or proceed to trial. After having worked on an agreement with my former attorney for nearly a year without it reaching completion, and the thought of Kim having to possibly go to trial for me in a matter of days if we couldn't settle, I panicked and thought how could she possibly make this happen on such short notice. Kim was very calm about the whole thing and assured me we would get it done and all would be fine. She delivered on everything she said she would and went above and beyond. She is extremely knowledgable on the law, efficient, compassionate and just a nice person in general. She kept me up to date on everything and never left me hanging or wondering what was going on. I can't say enough good things about her and am so appreciative of what she did for me. If you need a family law attorney, look no further and don't think twice. You will be in excellent hands and won't regret hiring her. My only regret is that I didn't hire her right from the start. Thanks again for everything Kim!

Excellent experience!

My divorce was very difficult but Kim Cardalena made it a little less painful. She guided me step by step through the process and was very thorough on her knowledge of divorce law. I have never needed a lawyer before and I was very pleased with her and her staff’s professionalism. Overall my experien...ce was excellent, I was happy with the outcome and I would recommend Kim to anyone in my situation...I couldn’t have had a better experience.
