About Kimberly
Biography
When you're facing criminal charges in Cobb County or anywhere in the metro Atlanta area, you need more than a lawyer — you need someone who knows exactly how prosecutors think, because she used to be one.
Kim Keheley Frye is a former Assistant District Attorney and Assistant Solicitor General with 30+ years of trial experience and over 50 jury trials to her name. She founded Frye Law Group in 2008 with one mission: to aggressively defend people against the full weight of the government. Her background on both sides of the courtroom gives her clients a strategic edge that most defense attorneys simply can't offer.
We represent clients charged with DUI, drug crimes, sex crimes, domestic violence, juvenile offenses, and serious felonies throughout Cobb, Fulton, Cherokee, Bartow, and Paulding Counties. We don't just negotiate — we litigate. If the State won't be reasonable, we take them to trial and fight for acquittals.
Kim has been named a Georgia Super Lawyer every year from 2018 to 2026, recognized as one of the Top 50 Women attorneys in Georgia, and voted Best Criminal Defense Attorney in Cobb County six consecutive years (2020–2025). She holds a 10.0 Superb Rating on Avvo and an AV Preeminent rating from Martindale-Hubbell — the highest peer-review rating available.

Excellent Service from an exceptional lawyer and would recommend her to anyone.
