She was the best!

Kimberly Browning and Stephanie Taylor helped me through the hardest thing I had to go through in life. I lost my dad and didn't know what to do next. Kimberly over heard me talking to people at court trying to figure out what to do next and offered to help. They have been amazing the whole year they... helped me with my dad's estate. They always answered my questions. And I was always able to get ahold of them which was very important to me. I highly suggest great lakes family & estates!!

Wonderful experience

I have known Kim professionally for many years, and more recently had the opportunity to work closely with her on an ongoing family matter for the last year. Kim was very supportive and dedicated with aiding me through the process during a difficult time. She also prioritized helping my family during... the holidays, which meant taking time away from her own. When I had questions, Kim readily answered and ensured I was always prepared for upcoming hearings. She also helped me prepare long term, which was most beneficial to my family. Kim is one of the most selfless people I know, and has always put forth a great effort into helping her clients’ and their families during a time of need. I’m very grateful to Kim, and can’t thank her enough for being there for me and my family over the last year.

TRUST AND WILL

Nearing those years that you begin to know you should put your estate into updated and current law. We researched the available lawyers in the area who specializes and determined to interview Kim’s firm. Our initial meeting was met with a professional who made our questions seem important and ans...wered with total clarity. We then engaged her and met her to review our will and trust upon her completing of same. Again, a thorough review of all aspects was presented in a very personalized manner. We highly encourage you to entertain her firm.

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.
