Kim Marie Ciesinski

I have worked with Kim on several Collaborative Divorce cases as a financial neutral. Kim’s handling of clients is compassionate and respectful. Kim is very effective at helping clients find their voice so that they are empowered to make decisions and take an active role in shaping their financial a...nd parenting future. This process enables the “no longer intact family” to continue to have an on-going relationship so that each of them could continue to co parent and be comfortable in each other’s presence during family milestones. Had this gone to litigation, the process would have continued for years and been destructive to the family. Kim’s understanding of the Collaborative process has helped her clients reach settlements that were tailored to meet their needs for future independence.

I am single mom, that came to Kim 3 weeks after my son was born. As a new mother you have such fear and feelings about protecting your child. I was always assumed to be the custodial parent, however my son's father and family had thier own feeligns and demands. Which quite frankily at the time we h...ad was such a hightened sense of animosity and anger on both sides. Kim helped us to facilitate this whole process, manege the expectations and to step by step "hold my hand" when it was most needed. She's is direct and no fluff, but beyond empathetic to women, working women and single mom's who are struggling to make life right for thier family and then themselves. When you go through experiences like this at times you feel powerless, and truly Kim helped me to remain in a place where I felt my own empowerment. A year later we are in a good place, my son's father see's him twice a week, we receive proper financial, support and all parties are on board with doing what's best for the baby. He has two happy families and could not be filled with more love in his life. We will never be able to thank Kim Ciesinski enough for the support, patience and help she gave us to move forward with our lives.

Kim is an outstanding advocate for her clients. She has an extraordinary comprehension of both the legal and personal issues her clients are faced with. She is kind and compassionate when addressing emotionally charged issues for her clients and zealously communicates to the Court and adversaries on ...their behalves.

I had an obstinate husband , who fought me tooth and nail in our divorce. Unfortunately I started with another lawyer who absolutely did nothing for me. I was given Kim's name and I finally felt help was on the way! She is a complete pit bull in the court room , fighting for everything you deserve! I... felt she always had my back and got me everything I was looking for in the divorce and then some. I have recommended her to many people and if you are smart you will hire her to be your attorney

Facing the new normal, and confronting the next chapter in our lives was a difficult and painful experience. Kim and her team made the transition simple, they were professional and caring. Kim took the time to really listen to all the concerns we had going in together and led us down our new separate... paths. I valued Kim's advise and guidance during the process. I highly recommend Kim and her firm.
