Excellent Attorney and Staff

Kim has represented me for the past several years in a divorce and custody case involving domestic abuse. She continues to fight hard for us at every turn. She is forward thinking and proactive, keeps me involved in the process, and always asks for and values my input. Her staff is top notch as well,... going the extra mile for me whenever they can. I would definitely recommend Kim to anyone needing a family law attorney.

A Fighter

I hired Kim after being introduced by another attorney to handle my divorce case. When I met her I knew immediately she would be perfect. We got along very well. She was strong, firm, knew her job, compassionate and fair, but most importantly a fighter for me. Thanks Kim.

Wonderful Attorney & Wonderful Staff

Let me start out by saying that I am truly grateful for Kim as well as her staff. They have done nothing but support me as well as keep me informed of everything that is going on with my case. The divorce process seems so incredibly scary and difficult, but, from the very beginning Kim and Kathy (par...alegal) have been an absolute blessing. They have explained the process to me and let me know that everything is going to be okay. Kim is extremely knowledgeable and her pricing is very reasonable. I would recommend her to anyone.

Divorce

I hired Kim after she was recommended to me by a personal friend who is a local Judge. She was also recommended by two other local judges. Kim and her staff were with me every step of the way. They we very conscious of explaining the process in a very clear and concise manner. They were always th...ere to answer any questions, either by phone, email or in person. Kim did an excellent job with the negotiations, she played hardball when I was not able too. I believe the results of my divorce were fair to both parties and I am satisfied with the results.

Hire Kim Banister you won’t be disappointed

Kim Banister was highly recommended by me from someone in Flagler County who knows lawyers, it was the best decision I made to hire Kim Banister Law Firm. My case should have been fairly smooth but when you are dealing with a lying deceiving ex husband it’s a whole different story. It took over... a year a half to finish my case, due to my ex husband and his law firm. It was very frustrating many times. The first time I had the pleasure seeing Kim in action is when we had to have a mediation with my ex and his lawyer. I saw first hand she was very prepared and was ready for anything they said. She was awesome. We all have moments in our lives that we will always remember, well my trail with my ex husband is one of them. Kim was beyond prepared, tough, organize, calm and professional. My ex was not liking the questions she had for him that a couple times he said things he shouldn’t have. Kim, Jan, Kathy and her office staff are all very professional and understanding. There were times I was upset, angry, scared and confused they always was there for me with compassion, patient and understanding. YES! It did end well for me. Thank you Kim Banister Law Firm
