A God's Sent

Kimberly Levi is a compassionate woman and lawyer. She went beyond the call of duty and eliminated my fears and concerns about my grandchildren being removed from my care. My daughter instantly chose her based on the reviews and her experience with grandparents' rights. I sent an email without readin...g the reviews. The consult was educational and informative. I was highly satisfied with the experience.

Highly recommended - Compassionate, smart and tough attorney

Assisted in me a child custody matter with the best possible outcome. Caring and compassionate yet a tough cookie. Made a horribly emotional situation for me, tolerable. Explained everything to me along the way and took a lot of the fear out of the situation at hand. I will always be grateful and hig...hly recommend Kimberly Levi.

Family Law Attorney Review

I came to Houston Texas in an emergency and had to take custody of my grandsons so I could leave the state of Texas. Needing an attorney I called Kimberly Levi, talked with her over the phone, was impressed with her interaction with me and hired he on the spot. She was professional, respectful, and e...mpathetic to my situation. Kimberly Levi worked quickly and diligently with me and many different courts within Texas to help me gain custody of my grandsons. Within 45 days I had custody and was on my way back home. Words and thanks could not express how grateful I was that she was able to accomplish this in such a short duration. I would not hesitate to use Kimberly Levi again if I needed her in Texas.

Kimberly Made Us a Forever Family

My husband and I decided to adopt older siblings from foster care (i.e. We were "foster-to-adopt" parents). We attempted to advocate for our children and ourselves while the system failed them/us for months and months with seemingly no end and no adoption date. Nearly to the point of throwing in the ...towel, we hired Kimberly to intervene in the family course case on our behalf. In very short order, she assessed the situation, presented a credible case to the court, and walked alongside us and our children to resolve the case in a way that established lasting and positive relationships between us and our children's first family. Once the family court case was resolved satisfactorily, she handled the proceedings to complete the adoption. We couldn't be more pleased with Kimberly's work ethic, knowledge, creativity, and collegial interactions with all parties. Very few attorneys will represent foster parents, and those who do are often unable to navigate this area of the law. Kimberly did an exceptional job.

Great Lawyer!

I have to completely disagree with the review of Mrs. Levi that I just read. She just completed my case with CPS and with her help I got my kids back and CPS off my back at the first adversary hearing. She was responsive, on time, and well educated in family law and the court systems. Note to all ...that are looking for an attorney: you have to work in order for an attorney to work for you. You can't just give someone money and expect them to work miracles when they don't have anything to work with. Always keep well documented.
