She is the BEST!!!!

If you need an attorney who is relentless, no-nonsense, and fights for what you deserve, look no further. Kim Backman is an absolute bulldog and unafraid to take on difficult cases. She is straightforward and doesn’t waste time. She tells it like it is and she backs it up with action. She truly lis...tens. She takes all my suggestions and wants into consideration, making me feel heard and supported every step of the way. She’s also incredibly kind, approachable, and easy to work with. She truly cares about her clients and their outcomes. If you want an attorney who cuts through the BS and gets results, I highly recommend Ms. Backman!!!

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!!!

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.

Big disappointment

This lawyer was awful. She ran through my retainer without anything towards my actual case being done. I asked her to meet in person with out side to discuss kids schedule & she refused to try. She came back from pre-trial with a poor outcome & claimed she would be talking to the judge about me when ...in court on other matters. Not a lot professionalism. I heard she is fine for animals or cs…. But please do not use her in your child’s parenting plan. Your kids are worth someone that cares about children & can meet in person to support a plan… this is not that lawyer. I believe I saved my kids childhood by not continuing with her. She also gave me a day to respond on a very serious matter. When I told her I wanted more time she told me that she has special needs kids & that I can read after my kids go to bed. She does not respect that other people put time & care into decisions for their kids. Very untrustworthy to put unnecessary pressure on clients. The only positive I can say is about Liz who works with Kim. Liz understands parents that care… Kim does not.

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.
