Won The Appeal!!! The Convent of the Nativity is our Norte Dame and Kimberly Penix helped us save it. Our History.
First we are owners of the Convent of the Holy Nativity In Fond Du Lac Wisconsin. To Note we won the Appeal, Kimberly Penix a Very Nice woman helped us win our Appeal.
We unfortunatley we not treat right, or fair, But held onto faith in God and trying to do the right Thing. Kimberly and her Council with Our Attorney Dan Kaminsky helped us sooo much. Her knowledge of the law was impressive and she impressed the The Judges and through logic we succeeded but with her help being blessed by God.
And Saved a Historic Property The Convent.., At least we were able to breathe with the help she gave and didn't have to worry over the premature razing of the property.
What could be worst then having to face that awful fact. I feel like she was a real blessing to us. we were tired, exhausted and belittled by unjust prosecution and assumptions bad basically. We should have been working together, our side was but communication was awry... and against us.. leaving us dejected and feeling discriminated against in so many ways.... unreal. We were in essence being bullied.
Long Story short She helped us, and you know i believe God will give her the power to help you and whom ever comes in here path... she's that good, She explained and walked us paitently through the process.
Which she made it possible for us to help the future to preserve the property As God would have it... and or Enhance the Status.
She's Decently Affordable, and will let you know the pitfalls if she see's any and works possibly more then you would expect she has hoodspa tenancity she's good. Now also The News papers in Fond Du Lac and the people that understood the value of the historic prooperty The Fond Du Lac Reporter also wrote stories about her case with us and its a miracle worked through with her. We who believe appreciate her talents

We Thank Kimberly Penix.
Kimberly Penix is a knowledgeable, dedicated, hard working, take action type attorney that you want fighting for your rights. She did that for me were other attorneys knowingly dropped the ball. Her professional approach was extremely welcome and helpful. She has an incredible sense of humor as well! The bottom line is, if you want a top notch attorney, your journey has ended. She has a vast knowledge of the law and is able to reflect that in paperwork preparation for the courts. Her confidence, communication, commitment, and competence excited me the first time I spoke to her on the phone about my case. Her response time to all my email inquiry's was phenomenal. Her exceptional willingness to help me in every way that I have needed over the last two years (were multiple other attorneys could not be bothered to do their jobs). I appreciate all the effort and hard work she put forth in my case. An absolutely amazing attorney, thank you from the bottom of my heart!
Appellate courts are called “courts of last resort” for a reason – at no other time in the litigation process are decisions so critical, so final. That is why it is imperative to choose an appellate lawyer who can maximize your chances of prevailing.
Informally, this practice area is "people fighting over money." The goal is to resolve disputes without going to court. If not possible, Attorney Penix's experience in the higher courts make her uniquely qualified to handle trial court litigation.
Kimberly Penix is the owner of the Alderman Law Firm, which works in the areas of appeals and attorney services. For appeals, civil and criminal appellate services are offered, both directly to the public and to attorneys via subcontract. For attorney services, work is done on a consulting basis for attorneys and firms with a need for higher end contract work.
Kimberly was in the top of her class when she earned her law degree from the Howard University School of Law in Washington, DC. She went on to serve as a judicial clerk in the Superior Court of the US Virgin Islands. Following her clerkship, she was an associate attorney in a general practice law firm, representing clients in state and federal courts in civil matters such as real estate disputes, personal injury cases, business litigation, civil rights cases, and contract disputes. She continued her professional journey by joining the faculty at the University of Wisconsin Law School, where she taught appellate litigation and civil practice skills.
She has served as the Chair of the Executive Committee for the American Society of International Law’s Cultural Heritage and the Arts Group, the Vice-Chair of the American Bar Association’s Art and Cultural Heritage Law Committee, and the Chair of the CLE Committee for the Wisconsin State Bar Individual Rights and Responsibilities Section.
Kimberly has published extensively on property law and litigation in both academic journals and popular publications. She has appeared across the country to speak on the topic of cultural property law and has been interviewed by BBC, NPR, and The Art Newspaper. She is the author of The Freelance Lawyering Manual (2011), Foreclosure Defense: Litigation Strategies and Appeals (2014), and The Alderman Appeals Blog (ongoing).

Great Appellate Lawyer
Attorney Penix is a great appellate lawyer for those who do not know the law well. Is very straight-forward and honest and will not sugarcoat you with promises. My experience was awesome.

Outstanding Appellate Attorney
Faced with a unique case that intimidated other attorneys that I had initially consulted with, Atty. Penix meticulously researched my options prior to preparing my motion. She conducted herself in a highly professional manner with respect to all of her correspondences with prior counsel and in her responses to my inquiries. All documents were filed expeditiously, and overall, I could not have asked anything more of her. While I have unfortunately had the pleasure of retaining numerous attorneys across multiple areas of practice, Atty. Penix is definitely someone I would recommend and choose again for post-conviction matters if circumstances dictate.

A great legal mind
Kimberly has been a tremendous asset to my firm. When shorthanded Kimberly has drafted memos of law, jury instructions, motions in limine, and other legal documents. Whenever called upon Kimberly has always answered the call and provided whatever was needed in a timely manner with great legal analysis and application of the facts that only some lawyers can provide.

My Appeal
Ms. Penix was my appeal attorney. Although she was assigned to my case by the state, she was as conscientious as anyone could want their attorney to be. She was extremely well prepared each time we met, and she was able to capitalize on mistakes made by the prosecutor, ultimately saving me thousands of dollars. I recommend her highly and unreservedly.

Simply the best legal writer in the State of Wisconsin
Attorney Penix is the best appellate brief writer I have come across. Her arguments are succinct and to the point, yet convey to the reader her client's position with reason, logic and authority. Her ability to perfectly complement my trial experience in a case with what will be persuasive to the court of appeals is exceptional. In addition, she will do all of the above within your timeline. There is no reason not to use Attorney Penix in your next case.

Exceptional Service
When I realized I needed an attorney I did quite a bit of research. Attorney Kimberly Alderman's name stood out to me. At the time I did wonder about the concept of communication by phone and email. If it was a common practice, it was new to me. After first contacting Attorney Aldermans Lawfirm, I realized I had not made a mistake in my decision. Attorney Alderman gave me a sense of satisfaction and contentment. She always seemed on top of everything going on with my case and never kept me waiting for answers to any questions I had. I was given a statement through-out to let me know where things were regarding her fees. Never once did I regret hiring Attorney Alderman and her staff.
When you are needing honest, efficient and professional representation, do not hesitate to contact Attorney Kimberly Alderman. She did an excellant job for me and I would highly recommend her knowledge and services.
Thank you Attorney Kimberly.

Mortgage Foreclosure
It's very hard to review Kimberly... How do you put a review on someone who goes above and beyond for her clients? What she has done for me is priceless!! I hope that I never have to call on her again for this issue but if anyone is looking for the BEST and HARDEST working lawyer look no further! She took my case on when others just wanted me to file bankruptcy. She got me a modification and put the mortgage company on notice for their sneaky behavior. Words can't express how grateful we were to find her and we live in Kenosha, Wi so its a hike for her but she took me on without any issues with the county in which I reside. All I can say is.... Thank you so much!!

Straight forward and honest
Kimberly helped us with a foreclosure settlement after battling with our mortgage servicers for over three years. She knows how the courts work and is known and respected by the court representatives and opposing lawyers. Also, her billing is clear concise and understandable which we found as refreshing after working with a couple of other lawyers in the past. Thanks again for helping us obtain a positive resolution after a truly frustrating process.

Professional, Timely Support in a Difficult Situation
Alderman Law Firm provided us with professional, timely support and we were very pleased with what they were able to accomplish in such a difficult situation. From the very professional and timely emails, to the follow through letters provided, we were very impressed in the services that were rendered. Kimberly is a very professional and sincere attorney and we felt as though she truly cared about our needs and went above and beyond what was expected. I would highly recommend their services.

Knowledgable, responsive, and patient
First, Ms. Alderman was very quick to respond to my inquiry. She was very patient during our interactions and very informative - really knows her stuff in her area of law. Best of all, she allowed me to flush out my legal issue so that she could determine what legal assistance was needed and she quoted a very fair price. Among the several interactions with different lawyers, she certainly stood out in taking time to help figure what was needed instead of asking for a large detainer before even listening. It was a fresh of breath air to find such a lawyer.

Given the circumstances, I was very satisfied by the way my case was handled by the law firm. I was kept informed and was given sound advice through out.

Simply put, Amazing!
Kimberly is amazing. From the start, she was straight forward explaining each option available and provided all information for each option. Kimberly continued to put extra pressure on the non-responsive opposing council until they finally responded. I was kept up to date throughout the entire process. Kimberly helped make a bad situation a lot better. I felt a great deal of relief knowing she was representing me.
