expungement

Myers was able to completely get my background expunged, everything was simply done through email or via phone call, hardest part was waiting on the court system

Professional, Caring, and Compassionate

Kim helped my family and I through all of the legal stages of caring for our parents as they declined mentally and physically, and then provided guidance regarding handling of the estate as dad passed, and then mom, 6 months later. Her legal counsel was professional, caring, and compassionate. Her ...dependable assistance was a valuable asset during a very difficult time. Kim’s focus is definitely on how she can help you - readily sharing her wealth of knowledge, experience, and skills. I highly recommend Kim for any and all estate planning and estate handling needs!

1000/10, would highly recommend, amazing lawyer

I worked with Kim on a contract that I had signed but felt like I was at risk. She was incredibly responsive, I told her it was a time concern and she got a very detailed, thoughtful, intelligent opinion to me on the contracts in a very timely manner. She was so great at answering all of my questions.... She seemed to care about my situation which made me feel so helped and not just like a business transaction. I would HIGHLY recommend her to anyone who needs help. I really enjoyed working with her at a time of high stress in my life. Amazing lawyer and amazing person!! Thank you Kim!!!!

Kimberly Myers - an excellent attorney

When I contacted Kimberly Myers to help me with some estate planning, it was a lucky day for me. Kimberly was very accommodating with her time in spite of Covid. She gave me her full attention and explained the procedures and legalities involved in very clear terms, I appreciated the excellent advi...ce and recommendations she gave to me and how she involved me in all aspects of the estate-planning process. She is an excellent attorney, very efficient and, I might add, has a very pleasant personality which made me feel comfortable and made the decisions and procedures less intimidating. I could not have made a better choice and I very highly recommend her to anyone that is seeking legal help or advice.

Knowledgeable, Empathetic, Thorough, Friendly!

Kim helped us with my dad's estate. Things are still very emotional and she was very understanding. Great communication via phone, email, and in person. Answered all our questions thoroughly. Made sure we had everything we needed and was very accommodating with our schedules. I would highly recommend... Kim and would seek her services again if the need arises.

  • 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.
