This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Bias, Bias, Bias

The worst! Bias, don’t like black people. Talked about my hair, nails and watch, talked about my wedding ring like I wasn’t supposed to have anything because I’m a black women.

Posted by Steve | April 25, 2013

Nailed the results and kept costs to a minimum!

We faced a nuisance suit from an uniformed widow. We felt we could win at trial, but wanted/needed to avoid costs of discovery, motions, and trial. Kim and her wonderful staff were able to gradually convince opposing attorney that victory was very unlikely, and that even if they won, our current fi...nancial status would make a significant judgement noncollectable. This entire process dragged out for over a year, yet Kim kept our fees extremely low. She didn't waste fees "holding our hands" or communicating when not necessary. And she virtually always used very abbreviated emails to keep us informed. Kim is my first attorney experience where concern for my costs was paramount. And she WON by settling for only a symbolic amount!

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I have known Kimberly for several years and it is my pleasure to highly recommend and endorse her work as a business attorney. What really impresses me about Kimberly is that she truly cares about and is very responsive to her clients. Kimberly goes the extra mile for her clients, gives clients "her all", and is creative and thinks outside the box. Kimberly is technically and substantively talented and knowledgeable and combined with her dedication to her clients this adds up to a stellar attorney. Kimberly is a business attorney who cares about and pays attention to her relationship with her clients and provides superior legal advice and guidance, and I know that anyone I refer to Kimberly is in great hands."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Having known and worked with Kimberly since law school, I witnessed her rapid ascent to the top of the Game. She is, truly, the "Big Firm" lawyer you want combined with the "personal attention" you never got with the Silk-Stocking Partner leading your case from that Ivory Tower. Her work has always been stellar, from Law Review through Moot Court, on to Big Law and finally into Private Practice. I do not hesitate to send my clients to her as she provides excellent advice, has a deep knowledge of the law and provides personal service that my clients deserve."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
