Thank goodness for Kim Madigan....

Kim has and continues to represent me in my divorce and custody cases. Kim's astute assessments of exposure on both sides, commonsense approach to reaching a resolution and tenacious management of both my outrage and expectations have all been pivotal in a settlement being reached. Always keeping her... eye on the prize, Kim has pulled me back into line numerous times, always for my own benefit and with my best interests at heart. Trustworthy, tenacious, efficient and compassionate.

She listened to the facts of th...e situation and was able to fight fairly and professionally for my rights and in my best interests. She is professional, courteous, and assertive at all times.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
