Never an issue

2 months ago I honestly would give Kim 10 stars. She helped my wife (and myself) deal with a custody case with her ex. Kim kept it real with us, never sugar coating anything. I'm grateful for that. She helped us in a difficult time in our lives with care and compassion. She treated us like family. S...he never backed down to the opposing counsel. Thank you Kim for all of your help and helping us move on with our lives!

Matt, thank you for taking the time to post this awesome review! I am so pleased that working together we were able to bring about the needed help and change to your family’s situation. I truly appreciate you both giving me the opportunity to be of service to you and wish you all the best in the new chapters unfolding in your lives!

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.

Someone you want on YOUR side!

I cannot speak more highly of Kim Bannister. Kim was extremely caring and understanding when it came to meeting with her and explaining everything. But don't let that fool you, Kim is a FIGHTER and will move Heaven and Earth for her client. I have been in many negotiations in my life professionally a...nd I can honestly say that Kim is one of the very best negotiators I have ever worked with. When hiring an attorney, I wanted someone who would "go to bat" for me and she fulfilled that and more. Trust me, you want her on your side!

Family Law

Kim and her staff were amazingly attentive to the specific needs of my case. Kim was very compassionate with the very specific needs that my children needed and her propensity to protect them was what I needed to provide me with peace of mind all the way to the final judgement. If anything ever arise...s that I need another attorney I will contact her.

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
