Very professional

We met for a consultation. She was attentive and asked good questions. I was highly impressed.

Outstanding, Conscientious Attorney

Of the many attorneys I have worked with both professionally and personally, Kim is by far the best. She is extremely knowledgeable, conscientious and resourceful. She does what is needed to protect and defend her clients, and she does it with great finesse. Importantly, she is genuine, kind and can ...be relied on to keep information confidential. She is a super star in my book!

Trusted Advisor

I've been working with Kim on two separate issues and having her in my corner has relieved a tremendous amount of stress and uncertainty. I know I'm in great hands and I have my best interests being represented. Kim is professional, responsive and effective!

Wonderful to Work With!

The thing that I have enjoyed most about Kim is her care and consideration when working with her through my personal matters. She is thoughtful and has always been considerate of what I want through difficult times. I never felt pressured or that she had an underlying agenda. A fantastic lawyer an...d I highly recommend 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.
