The Krieger Matter

Kimberly explained everything at our initial interview and answered all questions as to the best way to approach Probate and application for Medicaid. Dan and I did not feel any pressure as she also saered the cost of the application and estate protection that had to be done. There were no surpris...es. Great job.

Outstanding service

Kimberly handled our estate planning and gave us peace of mind in the process. She answered all of our questions and provided exactly what we needed.

Helped and guided me through my divorce

Not sure what I would have done without the help, guidance, support, and knowledge that Kim gave me through my divorce proceedings. She was always in contact with me and willing to meet with me when needed, made my divorce much easier to go through.

Kim Browning

Kim did an excellent in arranging the elder care needs of my parents. Proceeding swiftly, as the situation dictated, Kim met us wherever it was convenient to sign necessary papers. Kim always returned phone calls! Often I would say to Kim, could you explain that again and she patiently responded. The... reasonable fee I signed papers on was never altered, no extra fees added. Kim made an emotionally difficult situation proceed smoothly! You'll love her!

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.
