About Kim
Biography
YOU MAY NOT NEED A LAWYER. Not many lawyers would begin their personal profile by sharing this truth. Kim Cullen believes that the first thing that most Florida injury victims need is the information necessary to decide whether they need to hire a lawyer at all. Kim and his talented and experienced staff are available to answer your questions -- at no cost or obligation to you -- so that you can decide if you need a lawyer.
Once you decide that your case is appropriate for a lawyer, it is important that you select the right lawyer for your case. YOU SHOULD NOT SELECT A LAWYER BASED UPON ADVERTISEMENTS ALONE. Kim Cullen has written a book called Asleep At The Wheel - 13 Mistakes The Insurance Company Desperately Hopes You Will Make After Your Florida Car Accident (available FREE on his website) that will answer many questions, and will help you ask the questions necessary to select the right lawyer for your case.

GREAT Attorney! GREAT Results!
Kim was extremely helpful walking me through the entire process regarding my case. No matter my question he or his paralegal Emely was quick to respond (within minutes) and ensure me that all would be taken care of. Kim also gives back to the community. He has been a sponsor for AFSP 's Orlan...

Superior Attorney
I have 15 years experience as a paralegal and have worked for a number of personal injury law firms, so I have firsthand knowledge of the business of helping injured clients. When I was involved in my own accident I didn’t even need to think about who was going to handle my case for me: I went stra...
Kim Michael Cullen's Lawyer Endorsements
"I endorse this lawyer. A brilliant and highly respected attorney in the legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"An outstanding lawyer with years of experience, and a fine gentleman."
"I would like to highly recommend Mr. Cullen, a fellow personal injury attorney in Florida, because he stands out as an expert in his field, and combines his experience with great client care. You can tell by visiting his website that he believes in educating the public, and he provides a wealth of information for those who want to learn more. He gives this information to you for free before you even pick up the phone to call him. How many lawyers can you say that about?"
"Kim is a great guy with a big heart. You can always find him at the annual Baldwin Park Doggie Derby raising money for our "best friends". If you're looking for excellent representation with a much more personal touch, Kim is your guy!"
"I endorse Attorney Cullen. From his answers and time on Avvo, it is clear he is dedicated to serving those in need and his clients. It's rare that lawyers spend so much valuable time helping the community, for free, and I applaud him for doing it to such a great level. Kudos."
"Mr. Cullen is a highly experienced advocate who specializes in Personal Injury and Wrongful Death litigation. I highly endorse Mr. Cullen and his law firm. Mr. Cullen's care and concern for his clients is unsurpassed. Most importantly his attention to detail and his desire to bring complete closure to his clients without any loose ends is remarkable."
"I endorse this lawyer."
"Mr. Cullen has a vast amount of knowledge and experience in personal injury and accident cases. Working for the injured is his passion. Because of his understanding of the law he has provided his time and effort in educating other attorneys, like myself, regarding the complexities of the law. I fully endorse him."
"I have known Mr. Cullen my entire 15 year legal career. I had the pleasure of working with him in the same law firm and was always impressed with his ethics and professionalism. He is an extremely talented trial lawyer whom I endorse unconditionally. His clients' interests always come first and he fights vigorously to achieve their goals."
"Kim is an aggressive advocate on behalf of his clients. His integrity and ethics are of the very highest order. He is respected in the legal community. I endorse Kim and suggest him to anyone seeking representation on a personal injury matter."
"I endorse Kim's work without reservation. He is goal oriented in his approach and doesn't just get results, he gets great results. His reputation for success in the courtroom is universally recognized by his peers. Great lawyer and great person."
"I am pleased to have the opportunity to publicly comment on this lawyer's work. He has a very high work ethic. He is tireless in his advocacy for his clients. He is well versed in the law, including procedure which can baffle a TV or Billboard lawyer easily. I have consulted with him on many legal matters over the years. I found his depth of knowledge and insight into ways of getting his clients the highest recovery to be very clever. I highly recommend him."
"I have known Kim Cullen for approximately 20 years. Kim Cullen clerked for my law firm when he was in law school, and he impressed me so much I asked him to join the firm, but unfortunately he declined. When he decided to open his own practice, we shared space for several years. During that time I observed Kim building his practice and representing clients. I thought he always, without question, chose the course of action that was best for his clients, even when it was to his own detriment. Kim always puts his clients' interests first, and does a great job for them. I have seen Kim take cases to trial because that was his client's wishes, even when that trial was against Kim's recommendations. Kim will never do anything that his client hasn't approved, and when he works on a case, he does it with the dedication every attorney should strive to have. I recommend Kim Cullen highly as a personal injury plaintiffs' attorney, and would be pleased to have Kim represent me in any matter."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Early in my career, I worked with Kim handling personal injury matters. Kim is one of the brightest and most intelligent attorneys I know. His extensive experience; skill and legal knowledge provides a tremendous asset to his clients and has been an invaluable help to me during my legal career."
"Kim Cullen is a very talented hard working trial lawyer who I recommend without any reservation. He goes the extra mile to be a great advocate."
"Kim is a zealous advocate for his clients. His attention to detail and empathetic way of dealing with clients is far superior. He is a well respected member of the Orlando legal community."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. Mr. Cullen is a fine trial attorney with an outstanding reputation and work ethic. He fights hard for his clients and wins"
