"I have had the pleasure of working as opposing counsel on several matters with Kimberly. She is a fierce advocate for her clients but always reasonable and professional."
"I met Kimberly when she was opposing counsel on a case. Kimberly was always well-prepared and she represented her client extremely well. Kimberly is very knowledgeable about family law and civil litigation in general. I was so impressed by her knowledge/performance, that I have referred cases to her (that I cannot handle due to conflicts), and the results have always been very good. Kimberly is a solid, knowledgeable and personable family attorney, and I'm happy to endorse her."
"Kim is a zealous advocate for her client's with an expansive knowledge of the law and strong courtroom presence. She is more than capable of litigating and winning against the most well known attorneys in the community. A great attorney with high integrity and a pleasure to call a colleague."
