Powerful advocate and wonderful resource

Kim is an excellent partner to have at your side during a divorce. She truly believes in a collaborative divorce being the best path for all involved but is also more than competent to wage battle with a more aggressive and litigious adversary. There were many times when my ex and her lawyer were agg...ressive and unreasonable and Kim's advice to stay the course and be reasonable saved me not only loads of stress and escalating tensions, but also loads of legal wrangling and fees. I'd highly recommend Kim to anyone that wants a partner by their side that will reasonably and rationally help you navigate what it typically a trying time.

Everything You Could Ask For

I began my journey of collaborative divorce with another attorney who was not the right fit for me. I was working with a counselor during the collaborative divorce process, and he knew my frustrations with my current attorney so he recommended I meet with Attorney Ripp. Immediately after my first ...meeting with her, I felt like we had a plan and my stress level was cut in half! Attorney Ripp doesn’t waste time with getting things done. She leaves no room for procrastinating from other parties and is relentless when it comes to unanswered questions. I never waited long for a response after sending emails or calling the office for an appointment, responses were practically instant. Attorney Ripp is professional, incredibly intelligent, determined, detail-oriented and unbelievably efficient. She was flexible, patient, respectful and kind to me. Having an attorney that has all of these amazing traits, made one of the darkest times of my life as easy as it could possibly be. And for that, I am eternally grateful.

Fantastic lawyer

Kim was absolutely wonderful in assisting with my divorce. She was honest, nonjudgmental, responsive, and smart. She helped me get what I deserved through this process. I couldn’t have done it without her. She made me feel safe and like family.

Highly Recommend!!!

I made the mistake of not using a lawyer when I got divorced. I was starting to pay the price, then I hired Kim. While I may not have liked everything she's had to say, I have always respected her opinion and guidance. Especially when the things I have dealt with are as emotional as they are. If you... want someone who will always have your back and guide you in the right direction with the law.... She's your gal!!!

Best Divorce Lawyer in town!

Kim was extremely helpful in all aspects of my divorce. She took time to explain several options to me in language I could understand! She was always EXTREMELY quick to answer any questions I have, often responding within minutes. I would recommend Kim to anyone who needs a divorce attorney they c...an trust and rely on to take care of you.
