Outstanding Attorney

After consulting two highly recommended attorneys to set-up our estate plan we were extremely disappointed with both presentations. Luckily, we found Kim Browning and could not have been more pleased with her down to earth demeanor as well as a professional. Personable with a clear explanation t...o our questions with surprising anticipation of questions we didn't know to ask. What more can you ask for? Highly recommended.

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.
