Exceptional

Kimberly is an exceptional lawyer. Bright, tenacious and unerring. I went through a contentious divorce, and Kimberly was an absolute asset, who refused to relent to any outside force. Simply, she refused to waiver or give up. I cannot say enough, or recommend her more highly. Just a wonderful person..., and an absolutely incredible lawyer.

Tough, Kind, Caring & Persevering Family Lawyer

I walked with one of our parishioners through an extremely contentious divorce that took over one year to conclude. Kim persevered, was always encouraging and worked doggedly to advance the case despite non-response on the part of the respondent and his lawyer. She structured a good settlement when... there were very few assets to work with and high debt on both parties. Despite the length and amount of work on the case, she lived within her estimated quote for fees. She is simply the finest advocate in family law I’ve ever run across and I recommend her without reservation to anyone who needs an excellent lawyer.

Fantastic attorney!

I retained Ms. Backman to assist with my child support case last year. I had a rather unfortunate experience with my previous lawyer who I'd been working with for almost 1.5 years. Kim was able to get up to speed on my case within a week of being retained and closed my case in my favor within a month.... She is extremely thorough and communicates very timely. She also argued my case quite effectively, the judge who heard the arguments commented on it twice when he was informing us of his decision. I highly recommend her services to anyone in a similar situation.

Great attorney!

Kim was able to help me in my parenting and child support case. Very professional and doesn't sugar coat things (doesn't tell you what you want to hear but tells you the truth). I'm a single mom and she worked with me financially too. I highly recommend her services. Thank you Kim!

excellent, responsive, thorough

Kimberly was a wonderful divorce attorney--she was compassionate, articulate, timely with responses, and reasonable. She was always available and accessible by email or phone, and willing to go the extra mile. She knows her stuff! I would highly recommend her to anyone!
