If you are looking for an immigration lawyer and considering Kimberly- just don't! Save your Money and Time. Her office is really good at collecting money- but that's about it. I went to her office to get advice on my immigration situation, and she gave us the wrong information. We hired her as our...

Buyer Beware!
I hired Kim Trupiano to help resolve a legal family issue. I paid her $2,000.00 and after waiting more than 2 months, she had not noticed that critical information was missing from my case file, nor had she filed a single sheet of paper in the court. Because Kim Trupiano and her paralegal work at a...

Replied last August 29, 2016To Ms. Ercanbrack - Hi Angela, I can tell you really feel upset, and for that I am so sorry because I really try hard to earn and keep the trust of my clients. In your case, your daughter was my client and you were the co-signor on the contract. At any rate, of course you were very involved with your daughter’s case. As you know, I have tried to sit down with you and Ashley to talk with you both about the case, but Ashley has not communicated with me since that first week she came in with you and you had stopped responding to emails after I had asked for the missing evidence. I offered to speak to another attorney that you wanted me to talk with as well, but I needed Ashley’s waiver of confidentially, and she never responded to my emails to allow it. You stated you were upset that I did not file “something” within “a few weeks.” The thing is, without going in to confidential material, you do understand that the case required considerable thought and care and involved a very important issue for your daughter and for your family. I had never said I would have this done in a couple weeks, and you certainly would not want to hire an attorney to slap “something” out and just get it filed on such a case that is so important to your family unity. We kept you regularly updated on my progress as well. You stopped by once a week without an appointment, and our paralegal April would take the time to go over the case progress with you. I had offered and would still be happy to sit with you and Ashley to show you the work I had done. I had substantially drafted the petition with argument for attorney fees (to try to get attorney’s fees back) (all about 19 pages in content) along with the itemized Table of Exhibits (almost 2 full pages) and organized exhibits and the motion for temporary orders (about 21 pages in content). I had listed for you the pleadings I had drafted so far and their Table of Contents to show the breakdown of the facts and arguments so you could see the strength and complexity of the work I had done. So this was never just a matter of filing “something” quickly and this was never a simple case. That would certainly have been a waste of your money to have had an attorney just slamming something out to file in such a case with these sensitive and complex facts and law to present – because I doubt that something like that would win. You and Ashley and I had all discussed these issues at our initial meeting. If you will recall, it took you a few weeks just to bring me the evidence you had based on a checklist we had developed together. Then I needed time to go through it and continue to develop and organize the evidence and facts and legal arguments. I had focused on certain records first and when I realized your affidavit had missing parts and Ashley’s was not there at all I contacted you both by email. By then I was substantially done with the preparation. Since then, which was about seven weeks after you brought me that evidence and draft affidavits, you have refused to talk with me. Open communication is really the best thing and most healing so I encourage you to set a time for us to all meet and go over the work I have done and your concerns. I was excited to win this case and was really surprised with the sudden wish to stop the case. I think if we sat down and talked openly, you would be happy to see the work I did and to know what could be accomplished for your family. Either way, I wish you and Ashley and your family the best. Please let me know if there is anything you need from me. Kim Trupiano

WORST EVER - DO NOT HIRE HER
I hired her for a non legal situation, she needed to speak on my behalf and recover items from the police station as I am not in the state. It took 4 months and she finally said there was nothing more she could do. Wasted $1,000 on her for nothing - stay away from her she'll chat you up and you'll n...

Replied last October 19, 2015Hi Chris! Thank you for your feedback. I would be happy to know what you wished I had done differently for you. I felt that I had solved the main problem you hired me for by arranging successfully a way for you to give your in-person victim impact statement in Washington State without having to travel to Utah. You also wanted some property returned to you – but unfortunately, the West Valley City police stated they never booked it into evidence and they adamantly insisted that they did not have it. You told me that the ambulance company insisted they did not take anything and that only the police did, so I understand you were upset about that, but I could not make West Valley City police give us the property when they insist they did not have it and nothing in the police records I reviewed showed that they seized it. In addition to trying to get your property back, you hired me to contact the police to try to arrange a way for you to show your “cooperativeness” with law enforcement about the crime you were a victim of so that the State of Utah Victim Reparations would pay for your medical bills as a result of being attacked. You told me initially during our consultation that you still had to give your statement to the police regarding the incident where you were attacked downtown and severely injured. When you first approached me by telephone, you told me that the only time the police tried to interview with you was when you were in the hospital heavily sedated and with your jaw clamped shut so you told me the police wanted a statement. You stated you had no problem talking to the police but that you resided in Washington State and could not return to Utah to give a statement. So you hired me to sort this out and try to arrange a statement for you to show your cooperativeness so Victim Reparations would pay your medical bills and to try to find out if the police in fact did still have the property that was seized, including your cell phone. The detailed billing statement I provided you (to account for what fees we earned and our work on your case), along with our emails with you and the case file all show that we ordered the police reports to determine the reported situation and what they still needed from you, that we had conversations with the assigned detective to arrange for your statement, that we contacted the evidence locker to find out where your property was, and that we successfully arranged a way for you to give a statement to the West Valley City police by merely attending a prearranged meeting at a local law enforcement office near you in Washington State. Problem solved! When we contacted you with the good news you were very upset and stated you were too busy with work, etc. We were very surprised when you stated you would not attend this meeting that would have enabled your seriously high medical bills to be covered by Utah. You stated you would only give a telephonic statement to police, but I explained to you that the police wanted you to give a statement at a law enforcement office so they could confirm your identity in person. By then we had earned more than the simple retainer of $1,000, but we did not charge you extra and we did not charge for 3.7 hours of time that were case-related. Please see your two detailed, itemized billing statements. I see that we also gave you a courtesy credit of $111 against the final balance so that you would not owe anything to help you out. Please let me know what you wish we had done differently as to the merits of your case and as to billing. We communicated often with you and have many emails we exchanged about your case. When you wanted to speak with me, my staff as a matter of office policy must offer and did set up a telephone conference between us. So I felt that we were responsive and kept you informed. I value the feedback to improve our services and am happy to resolve your concerns.
