Great Attorney

I was very fortunate to have Kitt Mattingly as my attorney during the most difficult time period of my life. The pandemic presented challenges, but Ms. Mattingly was always accessible. Procedures and the law were explained to me, and I felt that I was part of a great team. The support staff in the of...fice of DAVIDSON & KITZMANN, PLC is very knowledgeable, and professional. My goal was to be divorced while not compromising who I was as a person, and the goal was reached. It was a long 14 months, but I am satisfied that a fair and equitable settlement was obtained.

Patience and prudence through a challenging divorce.

Kim was great in how she guided me through what I had hoped to be a collaborative process, which turned contentious and ugly. She was very supportive and patient and provided solid legal and personal advice to help me get through the process and navigate the challenging situation with 2 older child...ren.

SHE DESERVES TO BE LISTED AS INCLUDED IN THE TOP 5 ATTORNEYS NATIONWIDE

Ms. Mattingly has assisted me with several legal problems I encountered. I discovered she is superior to other attorneys helping me in the past twenty years. Ms. Mattingly's integrity is above reproach, her knowledge of the law far superior to any other I have encountered. Always thorough and cont...inues to update if any new found information should arise regarding my problems. As an extra quality not found in the majority of attorneys, she cares about her client(s) and their issues and problems and exhibits a great familiarity of the law. I would highly recommend her to anyone inquiring.

Amicable/collaborative divorce

My ex husband and I decided to go with a collaborative process for our divorce. Kim was knowledgable, thorough and extremely helpful throughout. She was always professional and it was clear to me that she knew the procedures and laws we were dealing with. I always felt as though I was in good hand...s and had made the right choice.

Kimberly McCalmont is the best!

She is very knowledgable and savvy but also clearly a kind, compassionate person. She's perfect for the delicate business of family law and I recommend her highly.
