Zealous!

Firecracker! If you want someone aggressive and knowledgeable, then Ms. Kimbrough is your trial attorney! Saved MY buns, and did so when odds seemed against us. Listen to her. Do what she asks. And be supportive. She knows what she's doing. Period! I hope she becomes Judge one day soon.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
