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.

Posted by anonymous | March 10, 2017 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI
Thanks. Though I fought you at the time, only because of your counsel, I made the right decision.
I wanted to fight all charges - DUI, Reckless Driving, Failure to Obey a Traffic Device. Kim brought reason to me. I wound up pleading to Failure to obey traffic device. The other charges were not prosecuted. And even the traffic light was done with an Alford Plea, meaning in my guilty plea, I...

Kim gets the job done!
We hired Kim for a criminal traffic violation that, if convicted, would have caused my son his job. It was an injustice that involved an officer covering for another officer. We were told by another attorney that Kim was the lawyer that wasn't afraid to face off against the Cobb County Police Depart...

You need a Cutting Edge Technology Attorney when Social Media posts have unintended consequences.
In late 2014, I was falsely accused of "internet stalking" by posting facts and my opinions on my private social media profile. It turned out my ex had a common acquaintance, masquerading as a friend, spying on my social media page. I had no idea that simply posting facts, like sharing news art...

Goes beyond expectation
My 17yo son was charged with drug and alcohol related charges while on school campus. My first thought was to simply let my son stand before the judge without representation and accept responsibility for his actions. After deciding to hire an attorney with the hopes I could protect his future by gett...

Sexual Battery/Simple Battery Charge
Kim was thorough in her preparation, relentless in her defense of my case, brilliant in her courtroom strategies, sensitive to the needs of my family in this time of stress, and masterful in her presentation of my defense. The truth was heard, the jury verdict was "Not Guilty" on all charges, and my...

The combination of knowledge, skill, and dedication Kim brings to the defense of each of her clients is hard to find these days. I have absolutely no reservations endorsing her or suggesting her to potential clients."
