Travis Clark was phenomenal in putting together my divorce package after I was served. He listened to what I would like to see happen. We developed a game plan that he perfectly executed. Worked with the opposing attorney to resolve conflicts and provide clarification on matters of concern. Travis's advise was invaluable. In the hour before seeing the judge a big last minute detail had to be worked out. It was expertly handled to my benefit. In the court proceedings Travis worked with the court to ensure I received terms beneficial to myself and my future. Very, very satisfied with the outcome of the divorce proceedings, far better than anything I had expected. Well done Travis, I am in your debt. Thank you.
Kim Surratt is not only a great lawyer, she's a good person. She walked me through the hell that was my divorce, counseled me through the difficult decisions about the children, custody, child support, etc. and helped keep from going crazy when everything in my life was upside down. Divorces suck. There's no way around that. Having someone on my side that was empathetic to what I was going through, but was able to maintain a business mind about the whole thing was crucial to me making good decisions and not fighting just to fight because I was pissed. I've been back several times because of custody issues, and she's helped me navigate the ridiculousness of a crazy ex who happens to be the mother of my kids. I honestly don't think anyone could have done a better job.

Surratt Law will always have my business
Kim Surratt is not only a great lawyer, she's a good person.

KIM SAVED MY SON'S LIFE
Kim Surratt is a very special person to me. From the moment Kim took on my son's case, she worked so hard to achieve the right outcome. I believe that Kim saved my son's life, and strengthened our entire family. Our custody case was very difficult and lasted eight years. Kim was by my side, always giving me good advice, helping me have the strength to continue the battle, and saw our case to a proper final conclusion. I will always be grateful that I had Kim as my attorney.

Highly recommend Kim for an adoption.
We hired Kim to help us with a same-sex couple second-parent adoption for our infant twins. Kim was fantastic to work with--she knew the law, the issues, the judges, and everything in between. Everything went smoothly throughout the process (even the judge commented on how perfect all of the paperwork was), and in the end, we were able to make legal what we already felt--that we are a family. We would highly recommend Kim to anyone in need of an adoption attorney in Reno or elsewhere in Nevada, and will definitely use her in the future if we decide to expand our family.

Kim Surratt is wonderful
Kim Surratt was the best lawyer I've ever dealt with. Unfortunately, with 2 divorces behind me, I consider myself a bit of an expert. I fired several less qualified and much less caring attorneys before I was referred to Kim. She was amazing on my second divorce and I wish I'd had her on my first. With her advice and care, I probably would not have had 2.

"I first met Kim when she was advocating for family law matters and I was serving in the Legislature. She was so passionate and committed to her cause that I thought of how wonderful it would be to work for such an attorney. She modernized Nevada law with respect to gender neutrality and Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART) but drafting legislation that was signed by the Governor. It couldn't have been any more apparent that I needed to work for this attorney! The experience I am gaining with ART cases as well as divorces, custody, termination of parental rights cases and estate planning has been invaluable and her commitment to community causes makes our office a rare gem in the legal community."
