Excellent Attorney

Kim has been attentive, caring, loyal and most importantly HONEST! Kim has literally walked me through my divorce, in a way I never expected but I am completely greatful for. When you are going through a divorce you are emotional, alone, tired and have no idea what to do next or what to expect. K...im has made this process as manageable and she has helped me be able to move forward.

Compassionate, Fair, Tireless Advocate for her clients

Divorce is stressful enough. Finding the perfect lawyer is even more stressful. After much research on my own, coupled with referrals, I landed myself in Kim Cardalena's office. I found her to be compassionate, fair, and real. She was very realistic of any obstacles I may face and kept my expectation...s in check. I wasn't going to end up with a Mansion nor a summer home in Italy but I was promised an agreement that I would find favorable and fair. I found Kim to be extremely knowledgeable in the law, court system, expectations in how judges would rule and the overall process. Kim is very warm, compassionate, outgoing and she was a great advocate for me in my divorce. She understands the financial and emotional strains one faces under these circumstances and managed to comfort me during the entire process. She was constantly updating me on the progress and would respond immediately to any inquiries I had. She was a pleasure to work with and I'd highly recommend her. Hopefully, I won't need her again down the road lol.

You Won't Be Disappointed

The day I spoke to Kim for a consultation I count my blessings I was not happy with my first lawyer. It took me no time to decide that she was the one to get me through the most difficult time. Since day one she has been nothing but professional, honest and sincere. Providing the guidance and support... that is needed so that you are able to make sound decisions. She never falters on a phone call or an email. If you hire Kim you will be very fortunate and never disappointed, she really does look out for you first as her client but a relationship with her comes to feel so personalized and comfortable. She continues to work very diligently to make sure that my divorce gets finalized. I am always thanking the person that gave me her number in the first place.

Excellent, effective lawyer

My husband and I hired Ms. Cardalena to deal with a rather unfair settlement situation between my husband and his ex-wife. It was a situation that really had us both stressed out. I can't even tell you how smooth things went after hiring this lawyer. Upon speaking with her - you are immediately a...t ease and comfortable that you are in great hands. She handled the process professionally, aggressively - and within a timely manner. The end result was a settlement agreement that was fair and acceptable. She fought for us - challenging many of the demands that were made - and she got the requested amount decreased significantly. She is highly knowledgeable, efficient and patient (she takes the time to really listen to your concerns - she is someone who actually cares to help you). I highly recommend Ms. Cardalena to anyone looking for a great divorce attorney. You won't be disappointed! I feel at ease, knowing she is only a phone call away. I don't normally write reviews, but I felt compelled to share my thoughts here.
