Divorce/custody/child support

I highly recommend Attorney Backman! She did an amazing job helping me through my divorce! She helped to keep me focused and calm through the process and fully supported me through the worst of it! She made sure I understood the law and what I was entitled to while still allowing me to make my own de...cisions! She even responded back to me outside of business hours during an emergency situation! If you want excellence, Attorney Backman is who to call!

You get what you pay for

She was referred to me as an economical choice. Let’s just say you get what you pay for. She took days to weeks to reply on matters. Tried to tell me to send daily photos of the children to the ex. Talked me out of it maintenance when my ex made 3x what I did and I was on medical leave. She would say... she had personal family issues that kept her from replying. Came up with a crap parenting plan because and I quote it looks better to the judge and I would be lucky if I got more that 50/50. Lazy attorney all around.

Best Attorney ever!

I have complete confidence in Kimberly, she is by far the best attorney that I have hired...and I have used a few. She is the only one that actually saw my ex for who he is, saw exactly what my situation needed, and she got it done! I have asked 2 previous attorney's and my issue was never resolved.... Kimberly is very knowledgeable and she speaks the truth. She contacted me any day, any time, in order to get the information she needed, I felt she was very attentive in that way. I am very grateful to her in finally handling my case properly. She will never steer you wrong, she will always give you the truth and the facts. I was referred to her from another happy client! Best decision I've made!!!

Simply Bombass

After a 3 year divorce and custody battle with my psychotic ex-husband and his mother, Kim was with me every step of the way. From late night phone calls to keeping me level when my situation was getting the best of me she was always there and always someone I could count on. We can’t forget her amaz...ing assistant Nicole, with her timely responses and willingness to help when Kim was not available, a completely seamless team! I cannot thank Kim and her team enough! I will forever be grateful for them and everything they have done for me and my family.

Bombass Attorney!

Kim is an absolute bombass attorney! After I was dragged into my partners custody case by her bitter baby mama, I mean ex-husband, Kim represented me for an unwarranted order of protection. Kim was confident, detailed, and responsive while handling my case. Kim was able to get me some bombass results... and the case was dismissed.
