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.

Bulldog, according to wife

Kim Banister has been amazing throughout my divorce process. According to my wife's attorney, "Kim is a bulldog" and I take that as a compliment to Kim. Kim and her team are strong, compassionate and most of all in your corner. A divorce is not what I wanted, but she fought for me and counseled me... extremely well. I do recommend Kim Banister and her team.

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!

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.

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.
