Kitt Mattingly powerful, smart, efficient and effective!

Kitt Mattingly helped to enforce adult support for my severely disabled son, who had just turned 18yrs old. She was a good listener and was quick at getting exactly what we needed. She is no nonsense and work in a timely fashion. She did not inflate her price and gave us exactly what we paid for. Sh...e is kind, caring and my son is now benefitting from her hard work. Thank you Mrs. Kitt Mattingly so much! The Dutton Family

Get her in your corner!

My divorce started out amicably, then became less so. Was grateful to have Kitt in my corner. Not only did she answer every question, she walked me through the process so there were no ugly surprises and only the very best of outcomes. In a year which was full of other family changes and difficulty, ...having Kitt to rely on was invaluable. Highly recommended.

Extremely Knowledgable

Kim Mattingly worked closely with me to draft, edit and finalize a property settlement for my divorce. She was thorough in her questions and very knowledgeable on my rights and the laws in Virginia. She kept me informed every step of the process. Since finalizing the property settlement, Kim helpe...d write 2 addenda and filed my complaint for divorce. She is quick to respond to my questions by email or phone. Working with Kim and her staff was very pleasant even during a rather unpleasant time in my life.

Prompt and good service

I was fortunate enough to go through a simple divorce, but Kim and her legal aid were very quick to meet with me, provide me with all the needed details and keep me abreast of the status of my filing, as well as provide direction to what's needed to do. I felt Kim had my best interest at heart and wa...s committed to proceeding in the manner I felt most comfortable.

Great Legal Counsel - A+++

Kim was very easy to work with and very attentive to my situation. I felt like I was well informed of all of the details and was advised very fairly. She never pushed me in directions I didn't want to go. At the same time I was sure that she was there to help me out of any situations that may ari...se. Her office was also very easy to work with and provided me with all of the information I needed in a very timely manner. The overall feeling of the office was friendly yet very professional. I would definitely work with Kim again and would recommend her to anyone seeking legal counsel.
