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,... to see if we qualified for the benefits. When it was determined that we were a good candidate, we entered into a contract and the complicated process of filling out forms and documents began. Within four months after applying with the VA, we were awarded benefits...none of which would have ever been possible without the assistance we received from the very knowledgeable and courteous staff at Kimbrough Law. Every time we had a question, they were quick to reply. They graciously guided us thoroughly through the entire process from beginning to end. A few months later, Kimbrough Law also assisted us with our mother's Medicaid application. Their knowledge and expertise proved to be most valuable once again, as government forms and procedures can be difficult to understand and the slightest error can cost you valuable time in receiving your benefits. The money we spent for services rendered was far outweighed by the government assistance we applied for and received. The only thing I would change if we had to do it over is that we would have started sooner. Kimbrough Law will not disappoint, so don't hesitate to seek their professional opinion for your own personal situation.

Tax lawyer | May 08

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."

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."
