Excellent experience

Kim is a true professional. She is incredibly knowledgeable in all aspects of family law. I hired her to assist in reducing the amount of support I was paying and she ended up negotiating exactly what I wanted to happen. This was the 3rd time I've retained her (twice for support and once for a cus...tody issue) and she has prevailed each time with precisely what I was hoping to achieve. I could not be more happy with my experience. I highly recommend her and will continue to use her for any additional representation needed.

Excellent attorney

Kim became my attorney 3 years ago when I separated from my then husband and began the divorce process. Going through a divorce is life altering and full of stress. Kim and her staff were there for me through the entire process. She told me what I needed to hear, not what I wanted to hear. Her ad...vice and guidance was the best I could have hoped for or received. Thanks to her I made the best possible choices I could have, under the circumstances, with her help. I am forever grateful for her. I would 100% recommend her to anyone going through a divorce.

Amazing attorney - look no further!

Kim is an amazing family law attorney and a wonderful person overall. I first hired Kim in 2006 and she fiercely advocated for me in a very adversarial fight for custody, and because of Kim I ended up receiving exactly what I wanted. I recently needed Kim again for a complicated child support dispu...te and other disputes, and Kim remembered me right away and again helped me to resolve both issues in my favor. Not only is Kim an incredibly experienced family lawyer who knows the ins and outs of all the law and procedures, she is well-respected by the family law court and staff there. Kim gave me immeasurable advice, and recommended I take a class a class on conflict in parenting. I learned to focus my energy on my child and to end the constant anguish and stress of the fight with my ex and the resulting stress on my daughter. I can't thank Kim and the wonderful staff at her office enough and can't recommend her highly enough.

Over-matched

Let me begin by saying I am disabled physically and have a serious anxiety disorder. Kim was made aware of this . So with all that said , Kim is a mediocre attorney . You certainly get what you pay for when it comes to bringing on good,effective family law counsel . Kim was made to appear entirely in...competent at my trail . She was second attorney and you may think it's the clients problem not the attorney . So let's say that is true. She wants claim that things emerged in the trial she was unaware of . Consumers, this is a lie, and a result of plain laziness , because my file was perfectly arranged for her and I was charged for her to review my file . She knew my name and that was all she knew about me and my case. You can call this sour grapes because I lost , horribly .... Not close . Kim will say there were things in my file I didn't tell her about at trial . I had an excellent case and a bad attorney . The other side had a mountain too climb and the OC had that done upon walking into the court room . Kim was simple " bowled" over by the side . My bad for pinching pennies

Excellent Family Attorney

Kim was hired for my custody case, child support, and to complete some remaining family issues that lingered from my divorce. She did an excellent job dealing with a very difficult and unreasonable Petitioner (not the opposing attorney, but the client). She was professional and helped guide me thro...ugh the headache that is family court. Thank you Kim for all that you did!

""Top-notch" would be an understatement when describing Kim's skills as a family law attorney. I had the pleasure of working with Kim during my tour as a legal assistance attorney in San Diego. Divorce is a fact of life in the military, and the issues can get complex. Kim's was always willing to discuss a case and point me (and my client) in the right direction. When a case was too complex for the legal assistance office, those servicemembers who selected Kim as their attorney always had glowing reviews of her professionalism and advocacy of their case. Civility, professionalism, and expertise. Kim has them all."

"Having faced Kim as opposing counsel, I can say without hesitation that Kim is a top notch attorney. Her knowledge of family law is comprehensive. She is very pleasant to work with and always stays true to her word, but she is a fiery advocate for her clients in court. Any client who needs a family law attorney will be very happy they chose Kim as their counsel."
