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!

A Great Asset to have by your side!

Ms. Staron was one of the most effective attorneys I've had the pleasure of working with. She is detail oriented, ethical, looks at the big picture, and advised me for long term benefits. Ms. Staron, is also the only attorney EVER who advised me not only from an ethical point of view, but also with... good intentions. She is professional, diligent, proficient, excellent in court and a phenomenal asset to have by your side in any dispute you're facing. I will easily recommend Ms. Staron to any of my friends and family.

Kim Staron is very honest, caring, dedicated!

Kim Staron is very honest, offers expert comprehensive advice, prompt and communicates very effectively with her clients. Mrs. Staron’s teams worked extremely hard to achieve the best possible outcome and are always available to guide and support you throughout the process. I can't thank you enough f...or all of your perseverance, strength, knowledge, and kindness. I would have been at a huge disadvantage without you. I am eternally grateful for you assistance. She was able to help me get my share that my husband was trying to take away from me. Thank you so much for everything! -Maria

Honest and Trustworthy

Ms. Kim was a God sent to me, she helped me out tremendously. Now I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. She helped me lift this burden off my shoulder with her knowledge of the law. She listened to my situation about my Child Support and worked with me like a true professional.. I will be forev...er grateful to her, I just wished I would've of known about her years ago. I won't hesitate to refer her to my family and friends. Thank You and God Bless.

""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."
