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.

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.

Highly recommend!

Kim was trustworthy and professional. She was responsive and a critical thinker, and helped me win my case. I would call her again.

Excellent job

Kim has done a bang up job throughout my divorce process. She was always available to answer any questions I had regarding the seemingly never ending stream of paperwork I had to go through and sign. Kim was also extremely patient, I'm sure I asked some simple sounding questions more than once and sh...e never gave off the impression that she was irritated. Her office was also very flexible with payments which was very helpful when money was tight. In the courtroom, Kim was very assertive did not hesitate to challenge the opposing council at every opportunity that presented itself to push back to make sure I got a fair deal. In short, she did a great job handling my case and I expect that she will do the same with anybody that hires her in the future.

Divorce attorney

Kim is knowledgeable in family law and divorce. She kept me informed and worked hard to protect my interests when the other attorney was bullish and slow to respond to issues concerning the case. Kim is professional and does respond to emails and calls. The only issue is the response time was a littl...e slow at times, but I would attribute that to a large case load at points. I would recommend Kim to anyone that has the unfortunate experience of going through a divorce.
