Absolutely outstanding family law attorney

In 2016, I filed for custody and won by default. Shortly after, my ex filed to dispute custody, and filed a pretentious emergency ex parte hearing. I only had 24 hours, and knew I needed an attorney. I spoke to Kim and several others, but Kim seemed more significantly competent, assertive, clearly un...derstood the urgency of my situation and made herself available to represent me at my hearing at which she convinced the judge not to send my daughter out of state to live with her mother. She continued to help me navigate a difficult and contested custody fight, during which I was simultaneously fighting a criminal case that led to CPS involvement. On top of this, my ex made many false claims against me in court. Despite these major hurtles, Kim expertly represented me, and was able to get me full physical and legal custody. In court, she was conspicuously more composed and experienced than my ex's attorney. Seeing Kim in court leaves me feeling very confident knowing that she represents me. Kim knows the law inside and out, and understands what steps and direction need to be taken. Just recently in 2019, my daughter had to travel out of state for summer visitation. During this time, she was subjected to major emotional trauma, and placed maliciously into a psyche ward by her mother who would not let my daughter speak with her family. Her mother filed for custody in a state other than in which she lives who was not aware of the existing order and lied to the judge about existing court orders which resulted in her being awarded full custody under false pretenses. Again she made numerous wild accusations and had filed fake CPS allegations against my family members. Once again I called Kim. Kim knew exactly what to do, and what to avoid. She communicates extremely well, making sure that I knew what I needed to be doing and what the next steps were. She emailed me even at 6 AM on the weekend, working around the clock to help me get my daughter back, which again made me feel better knowing I had Kim with me. For this case I hired an attorney in the other state as well, and Kim coordinated perfectly with them, demonstrating a strong capability to handle even more difficult cases. She very quickly won return of custody and I was able to bring my daughter home. I can't express strongly enough how grateful I am to have Kim as my attorney. I absolutely recommend that you give her a call if you are dealing with family law issues.

Honest, Diligent, Efficient Attorney

I was in need of a divorce attorney and I needed one quick. I started looking on Yelp and reading reviews. During an emotional and stressful time, it can be extremely overwhelming and it was. One attorney that caught my eye was Kim Ma, not only did she have incredible reviews but most of them noted n...ow efficient, reliable, knowledgeable and honest she was. I called the following day and they were able to schedule me in within a day to see her for a consultation. I couldn't be any more grateful to meet such a sincere, caring and professional attorney who over exceeded my expectations. Kim was straight forward with what to expect and didn't sugar coat anything. I trusted her immediately. Her wisdom & expertise was greatly appreciated in a very trying and difficult time. I cant say enough good things about her. Every time I'd call her (which was very often at times) she would either be available or call me back within a couple hours. When I would email her, she would respond right away. I can't express how thankful I was for her swift communication because at times, I needed answers right away. I've heard horror stories from friends about how their divorce was dragged on because of lack of communication or because their attorney was trying to drag it on for financial gain. I am SO SO thankful this was not the case for me. In 9 months, Kim was able to finalize my divorce. If any of you are reading this, it's because you are in the same position I was in or you know someone that is in my position and needs an attorney. I am so grateful for all the reviews I read that led me to Kim Ma. That is why I am writing my review, to give back and help someone in need. I know how it feels to be in this position and I couldn't stress anymore how thankful you will be, to reach out to Kim. I HIGHLY recommend her if you want an HONEST, HARD WORKING, EFFECTIVE, DILIGENT, and EFFICIENT attorney who will fight for you with honesty and integrity and will look out for your best interest. You are very welcome in advance! Thank you Kim for caring for me in the most difficult time in my life. I will never forget how you made me feel so cared for and protected. I will forever be indebted to you.

Excellent Family Law Attorney.

Kim is very knowledgeable of Family Law. She is tenured, experienced and very attentive to your needs. You can trust that she will advocate for you and advise the best options for you. I am extremely happy how she handled my case. I hired Kim to help me dissolve my marriage. She was very patient... and assertive when came to negotiating on my benefit. She is very professional and polite. Her demeanor, disposition, work ethics and knowledge of family law makes her an excellent Attorney in her field.

Divorce Finalization

I have worked with several attorneys during my divorce process, my divorce dragged on for years with what felt like no end in sight. That is until Kim Ma took over as my lawyer. Not only will she work diligently on your case but she always tells you truth, she understands the emotional aspects of th...ese cases and maintains the highest level of professionalism. In the short amount of time she was my lawyer Kim has been able to finalize my divorce, something many lawyers had failed to accomplish. I give Kim my highest of recommendations.

Thank you!!!!!!!

Kim Ma is an excellent lawyer. I was in a custody fight with my ex wife over our two boys when i first contacted Mrs. Ma. We already had a custody order that left me with less than acceptable time but all of the responsibilities, needless to say my previous lawyer had not lived up to expectations. K...im listened to my concerns and issues with returning to court, and my worries with the negative affects that our current arrangement was causing. Kim assured me that my case was strong but she was careful not to promise me the world. She fought for and stood by us through mediation, a deposition of a mediator, countless court appearances and impressed me with her handling of my ex wife's less than honest lawyer. When they tried to slip one by, Kim was poised and ready with a response, statement, or question that deflated their dishonest and confusing rants. At all times Mrs. Ma was professional and on top of the situation. In the end I gained 50/50 custody of my sons, was able to be rid of the alimony and lessen the child support being paid. Most importantly my family and I were able to finally live a much more peaceful life, with less stress and a much better living arrangement for the boys. I would highly recommend Kim Ma to any person going through a difficult custody battle, she is reassuring and steadfast.
