Kim Atkins
I give Kim Atkins 5 stars because, she took on my case asking for a protection order against my ex husband. Kim took my case on with no questions asked pro bono at that! Thank you Kim

Hired her to help me write up a living will. She did a fabulous job and was so informative. This was a sensitive and very crucial matter. Now my family can feel at ease.

Superb representation
Kim is a phenomenal attorney. Smart, knowledgeable and well-versed in the law; she is always my first choice when I need legal advice. If not for her I would not have received a degree I earned. I highly recommend her.

Professional and understanding
When my husband was dealing with a situation, we were able to confide in Kim and she guided us through all the ins and outs of court and the proceedings. She’s so knowledgeable and kind, but gives it to you straight when necessary. I would highly recommend her to anyone.
