About Kimberly
Biography
I am a Southern Oregon native and love the community I work with and for. I graduated from Willamette University College of Law and Atkinson Graduate School of Management in 2016 with a dual degree, earning my JD and MBA. I have a background in business and customer service, particularly in real estate and the construction industry. I spent twelve years in the private sector prior to attending graduate school.
During law school, I had an opportunity to work as a court-certified law clerk for a busy family law firm. There I was able to take on my own cases under the supervision of my attorney and I found the practice area exciting, interesting, and challenging.
I currently focus exclusively on Family Law including: dissolution of marriage, registered and unregistered domestic partnership, custody and parenting, restraining and stalking orders, step-parent adoption, and minor guardianships.
The overarching piece to my practice - regardless of legal issue - is that I am interested in helping people walk through whatever crisis they are facing with effective advocacy. I am motivated to help people meet in the middle as much as possible. Each person has something to gain and lose in any transaction. It's part of my job to fully explain that to my clients.
I strive to always be honest, thorough, and conduct myself with integrity. It is important that my clients know that when they ask me a question, they will always receive an honest answer...even if it is not one they will like.

Great attorney during a terrible time
I worked with Kj for 18 months to finalize my divorce. My ex fought us at every turn and there were so many times I was frustrated and either wanted to fight him in court or give up. Kj and her team were beside me every step of the way fighting for a fair outcome and and advising me on my rights and ...

Lucky to have her on my side
From my first conversation with Kj, her commitment to getting me out of this in the best shape possible was obvious. I'd never worked with a lawyer before, let alone gone through a divorce and Kj made this process as smooth and stress-free as possible. She did things the way that felt most comfortabl...

Not ready for prime time
KJ was seemingly over-extended and in my case had multiple incidences of either being neglectful or tardy or careless regarding timely and accurate responses to me as her client or even the court. She did not fight for me. She slacked. I regret that I hired her and would not recommend her services. J...

Replied last October 21, 2024Dear Anonymous, Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with the work I provided to you and do genuinely wish you had brought this to my attention in real time so it could have been addressed. Unfortunately, I cannot determine who you are or the matter to which you refer without more information. Accuracy and timeliness are cornerstones of my practice even if there are times I may fall short. I cannot recall a recent example of material oversights on these issues on my part, however, if you'd like to discuss this matter directly, please do not hesitate to call my office. 541.622.8288.

Worst attorney ever
Kim is incompetent, narcissistic, arrogant, inept, and lost my divorce case. She did not read a very important contract that the judge had to prompt her to request, she charged me to come in and read it myself while she worked on someone else's case, then later when it was found to have essential inf...

Replied last July 02, 2024Dear Candace, I am sorry to hear that you are unhappy about my representation several years ago. If you would like to discuss my prior representation, please feel free to reach out to me directly at 541.622.8288. Please note that I was not fired by Jamie Hazlett, and my decision to leave Ms. Hazlett’s firm was unconnected to your representation. -Kj
