My Son MJ

Kim is so awesome. She has been with me every step of the way in this process. I trust her knowledge and experience to help me make the correct decisions with my case. I would recommend Kim to anyone who is going through a child custody or visitation case.

Child Custody Modification/Move Away Request

Great on all the simple matters to family law (I.e. Child Custody Modification, Child Support, and Divorce), but a total let down on the legal advice offered for on my move-away request matter. Although legal advice is no guarantee for any client in any legal mater, it wouldn't hurt to have a lawyer ...who believes in the case and not capitulate to opposing counsel(s) recommendation for an partial evaluator with no known public record on important legal matters [the opposing counsel in our case had worked with the evaluator on previous cases prior to this ours ("Hello" special interest)]. Not to mention, I had to pay her extra for errors in my custody order because there was no thorough review of the opposing counsels draft. If you want a knowledgeable, strong litigator and or someone impersonable, then go with Kim. If you want knowledgeable, strong litigator and someone with good customer service skills...then keep searching for another family law attorney. It took her two weeks to respond to my e-mails and toward the end of my experience in our case, surprisingly she had her inexperienced associate communicate and represent me at ex parte hearings. Nice kid, but that's not what you want going into a court room with a zealous opposing counsel. I think a previous post said it best, started out great but disappointed towards the end. I wish you good luck.

Highly Recommended

I have hired Kim Marie Staron on two separate occasions, both for family law. She is a true professional and very knowledgeable about the laws and the judicial system. She created a comfortable environment and kept me informed on every aspect throughout the entire process. She has continued to give a...dvice as needed and has always been only a phone call away. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking legal advice or representation.

Best Family Lawyer in San Diego

I have worked with a few Family lawyers in San Diego. My case was very difficult. Divorce, Custody, Visitation, Appeals as well as DCSS factors. Kim was always the smartest person in the room. She was always prepared, poised and passionate. Kim operates at a very high level of Integrity which was d...emonstrated as she virtually humiliated opposing counsel based on the fact she knew more, was more knowledgeable and just cared more. Every time we went to court our outcome was very favorable. Just being a good person and honest does not help you in court. having the right Attorney that can illustrate all the legal aspects to the Judge is critical. Kim Marie Staron is highly recommended for all she has done for me. I have spent hundreds of thousands over the past 6 years and will never go to family court without Kim Marie Staron.

Excellent and professional

Kim Staron handled my child custody case with extensive knowledge and excellent care. She is a skillful negotiator and really seemed to care about me and what I was going through. She always had mine and my childs best interests at heart and was extremely professional. I would recommend her to anyone...!

""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."
