Kim Marie Ciesinski

Ms. Ciesinski was an amazing asset that helped my family move forward through a terrible situation. I originally hired her to help me with a child support issue. My circumstances quickly changed, and I found myself needing a lawyer for a radical change in custody. Kim seamlessly, and instantly chang...ed tactics and jumped right in to help me with the custody issue. She was amazing. She used her extensive legal knowledge and experience to help me win my case. It was clear that she is passionate about her work. She was also compassionate with my nervousness - always willing to listen and calmly advise me.

I found Kim on avvo when I was going through a very messy and complicated divorce. Kim saved me from losing my life and was like a light in my Dark. Not only she handled my legal matter with Such precise research and enthusiasm, her and her assistant Karen made sure u understood every step of my d...ivorce and explain every little detail to me with such patience and care. I transferred my case To Kim from a very prestigious law firm in Long Island and could have not Made a better choice. Kim is very knowledgeable but mostly very caring. It is so important to trust your divorce attorney and I had complete confident and trust in Kim in court and outside of court. She is such an advocate for children and that for a mother is so important during a divorce. I highly recommend Kim and her professional staff and I thank her every chance I get for being there for me. I cannot express my Gratitude enough for her professionalism and her extensive knowledge about divorce, child custody and separation.

Going through a very difficult challenging divorce is never easy , especially when the welfare of a child is at stake. I could search till the end of time and never find the right words that capture my gratitude for hiring Ms. Ciesinski. There are a multitude of reasons why I feel this deeply. She... truly understood my situation and guided me through it both professionally and with compassion . It was always about working together to get through a terrible divorce with the least about of stress and anxiety. She would constantly not only reassure but prove to me that I would get through this challenge and come out stronger. Through court appearances and many conferences I no longer felt frightened or scared , I knew that Ms Ciesinski not only had my back , she held my heart and she knew exactly how to find my peace through a complicated legal system. Like , I mentioned earlier , I could never find the words to express my gratitude, but I will always continue to try . Kim Ciesinski is in a league of her own.

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.
