Kim has been practicing law in Athens for over forty years. Raised in Pine Mountain, Georgia, he graduated from Auburn University with a degree (B.S.) in Economics; earned his law degree (J.D.) at the University of Georgia School of Law in 1973; and received a Master of Laws in Taxation degree (LL.M.) from New York University School of Law in 1976. He then began practicing law in Athens, specializing in income tax, international tax, estate and gift tax, and estate planning. For twenty years, he taught as an adjunct professor at the University of Georgia School of Law. Kim has also worked in most all areas of taxation, business and real estate law throughout his career.
For the last several years, Kim has primarily focused on asset protection, estate planning, and elder law. Anticipating a demand for something beyond traditional elder law offerings, he transformed the firm by radically widening its reach – combining legal specialties with care coordination and advocacy for older adults and their families. His approach to each client’s situation is marked by an understanding of the natural progression of aging and its impact on everyone involved.
Along with his legal expertise, Kim possesses a sincere heart and desire to help struggling families. His personal experience coupled with his knowledge of the law uniquely qualify Kim to head up the diverse team he has assembled – the first of its kind in Northeast Georgia.

Positive and Professional
We first sought out the assistance of Kimbrough Law when we were referred to them by the assisted living facility where our mother was residing. We wanted to apply for Veteran benefits for her but did not know where to start. Kimbrough Law had us to fill out a questionnaire, at no charge I might add,...
"I’ve known Kim professionally and personally for over 25 years. Kim prepared my wife’s and my wills. I know his family, but our particular personal connection is that our sons grew up together from elementary school through college and remain close friends. Kim is respected in our community and at the University law school where he taught classes in multiple taxation specialties. But exceeding these, Kim is admired for how he overcame extreme health challenges connected to a massive stroke. He is tenacious dealing with his recovery. During the decade and a half that he was unable to practice, Kim was drawn to areas of practice where he saw a growing need: elder law. His practice now incorporates individuals who serve as care coordinators and advocates for seniors. Kim is a really nice person and I will use him again for issues related to our wills and estate planning."
"I have had the opportunity to work with William H. (Kim) Kimbrough, Jr. for several years and he is one of the best attorneys I have ever known. Kim has vast experience in elder law, estate planning, VA benefits, asset protection, tax law, and many other facets of the law. He demonstrates genuine care and compassion for his clients and co-workers. He is also willing to invest time in mentoring young lawyers. It is an honor to work with him and I recommend him without reservation."
