Kim M. Staron

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

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.

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.

Kim is great. She actually called and gave me about 30 minutes over the phone and didn't even charge a dime. Every other attorney I contacted wanted 350-400 for the initial consult. Not Kim, she called me up the same day, and we spoke at length regarding my situation. She was extremely up front with ...me, didn't beat around the bush and gave solid advice. If I do end up in divorce, she will get my business, no question. Thanks Kim for the honest and direct advice. More attorney's should take a look at how you do business.

Kim Staron has worked for me for over a year now on a complicated family law case that involved international child abduction charges, an international move-away, child custody, and then a divorce. I am extremely grateful to have had her work for me and I recommend her highly. I will definitely keep ...her for all my future legal questions and work. When I hired her, I chose her based on her knowledge, her honest and realistic way of judging my case, and the way she treated me. She truthfully told me what she thought of my case (which did not look easy) and she impressed me with her clear outline of how she would handle my case, where to start and what to do in which order. In the beginning I was all confused and agitated. She has always been very friendly and nice and never condescending (which I had experienced with other attorneys). In addition, though, I could feel that she is very powerful and will not be tricked by opposing counsel. Although in the beginning I knew nothing about the legal side of my situation, she encouraged me to take charge, give my own input and even write parts of my declarations by myself, which I appreciated because this would save her time and me money. I felt we worked together, which really empowered me to be as involved as possible and learn and read and grow. She would make sure that the best interest of my child was always our highest priority whatever we wrote and tried to negotiate and she would never use “dirty” methods (although opposing counsel did). She made sure we were honest and professional. Whenever I wanted to reach Kim, it was very easy and quick. She has a secretary who would do the billing and pass on messages. But most of the time, I would talk to Kim Staron directly and she would answer all and any of my questions patiently and reply to emails quickly even when she was out of the office. Whenever we had a date coming up that was unexpected or urgent, she would also work for me on the weekends. For appointments in person, she was always punctual and well prepared. She also prepared me for the appointments I had with mediators and the court, which helped a lot. At court, Kim Staron was very impressive. She brought all the papers that had to do with my case, was perfectly organized, and remembered every little detail I had ever told her. She would always be very prepared and have clearly written down what she wanted to say (opposing counsel on the other hand would repeat herself and forget facts etc.). She knows everything about family law and is a very quick thinker, excellent negotiator and can act quickly, which, especially in court, can save time and money, and at the same time everything she does is well thought through, timely and necessary or advantageous. She is an outstanding speaker and she was convincing in a friendly and powerful way, which, I think, also impressed the judge. My case also involved immigration law and so she learned and researched and talked to immigration attorneys and soon was very knowledgeable about this field too. As to the fees, I think that she was worth every dollar and although she is not cheaper than other attorneys, I always felt that she did what was necessary but never wasted my money. If there were expensive items such as transcripts from court, she would also discuss with me before ordering them. Even though she let me make decisions, I always asked and followed her advice, and was always happy with her decisions that showed foresight and professionalism. In conclusion, I recommend Ms. Staron highly. She is an excellent attorney, smart, diligent, knowledgeable, powerful, flexible, realistic, an impressive speaker and quick thinker, and at the same time very warm-hearted, fun and has the best interest of the child in mind by whatever she does. She is not mean like some attorneys but can easily stand up to any “shark”. She “won” the case for me and I am convinced that no one else could have done a better job than she.
