Couldn’t of asked for more

C. Kim Banister and her team went above and beyond to help me with my case. I was short for time and not really sure what to do next. After I sat with Kim she knew right away I was being taken advantage of and started work on my case the same day. I was very impressed and pleased every step of the wa...y. I owe Kim and her team so much for what they’ve done to help me and my family. Thank you Kim.

Above and Beyond

Kim represented us for custody of our grandson. We were at a time in our case where we needed direction because our grandson’s life was our top priority. We called her office & was greeted with warmth & professionalisms. Every step of our case was so smooth thanks to Kim & her team. Communication was... thorough and timely. I recommended Kim to a close friend and she was very thankful after her consultation. I highly recommend this attorney.

Outstanding service!

Kim and her associate Kathy were so helpful and thorough helping me with my alimony situation. I couldn't be more grateful on all they both did in my case!! Thank you both very much.

You are most welcome! It was a definite pleasure to help you resolve this matter. We are grateful for having had the opportunity to represent you, and for taking the time to post this 5-star review!

Divorce doesn't have to be this hard.

After a 2 1/2 year divorce, Kim has done an exceptional job. She was extremely organized and attentive to detail. She had attempted to resolve our issues and come to a final agreement without incurring unnecessary legal fees, etc. Unfortunately the opposing council didn't seem to want to end it or ge...t a final judgement. I would highly recommend Kim Banister, Esq. again and hope no one else has to go through this destructive process.

Scott, what a ferocious battle it has been! It is truly a shame that your divorce ended up being so drawn out. But we faced each hurdle prepared, and in the end, you were able to post this awesome review, and I thank you very much. We thank you also for allowing us to be of service and the opportunity to stand by your side and help to facilitate the final outcome. Wishing you all the best as you finally move forward with your future.

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.

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.
