Amazing

I had a complicated divorce due to my husband’s brain disease and involving Medicare, disability and the need for him to be in a nursing facility. Medicare took all our money ad then wanted my salary making divorce my only option. Kim was amazing at passionately articulating the issues to the court a...nd other lawyers. I highly recommend Kim for her expertise and passion for the law.

AWESOME DIVORCE LAWYER

I have had Kim for over 6 years, from the start of the divorce in 2012 to even now. My ex who I was married to for over 19 years who was the bread winner thought his children and I deserved nothing because I wanted out, I almost did walk away from the fear of having to deal with him and his behavior...s. It has now been 6 years, will I ever marry again, NO.... but my children and I are doing great. I got what I had coming to me which was a fair 50%, could I have asked for more, probably, but I didn't. Unfortunately, divorces are not cheap but when you have a lot of equity, you need a good lawyer to make sure you get what you deserve. So if you want a good lawyer, Kim is the one for you, it may seem like it is drawn out but in reality it is probably your ex that is dragging it out.

Wouldnt hire her

Consulted with lawyer then hired. Unethical and out for herself. Didnt care about what i had to say just what she could get in terms of payment. Came unprepared and couldnt ever find paperwork i submitted.

Amazing Lawyer!

Was appointed to her by a recommendation, didn't know what to expect? Was very nervous, told me I had a good case, she cares a lot of the children and what's best, being a father and how not many fathers win, definitely was nervous and didn't have much confident, after several court cases, definitely... knew I made a good choice, it's because of her I have both of my kids. I would deff recommend her, also a very caring person as well.
