Amazing Attorney
Kiona represented me in a landlord/tenant dispute in late 2017. She went above & beyond & I won my case. She is amazing & will retain her again if needed!

"I endorse this lawyer. She represents her clients well, both in court and in negotiating resolutions. Her experience and reputation has allowed her to sit as a pro tem court commissioner."
"I met Kiona in an incubator program that supported the development of our law firms. Kiona is an excellent attorney and a compassionate advocate for her clients. I would recommend Kiona to anyone with a family law issue."
"I often consult with Kiona and she is always competent, compassionate, and giving. My most trusted colleagues and I have all found her to be refreshingly practical and down to earth."
"Kiona is an exceptional family law attorney. I’ve had the pleasure of mentoring and working with Kiona. I love hearing her opposing opinion on cases. Her lawyering skills and ethics far exceed her years and those I’ve experienced from other attorneys. Kiona works tirelessly for her clients and focuses on her clients well-being and interests. She is a bright, compassionate and caring attorney. It’s amazing to watch her work!"
"Kiona is very knowledgeable about family law matters. She fights hard for each of her clients and works tirelessly for each one of them."
"I was recently in court and watched as Kiona was able to resolve a short-notice emergency family law matter that required her to appear with minimal notice and preparation. I was extremely impressed with her ability to adapt and confidently argue for a positive outcome for her client. I highly recommend reaching out to Kiona if you have a family law matter!"
"Kiona is a great attorney and potential clients should definitely consider her. Many attorneys have problems returning phone calls or answering a clients questions, but you will not have these issues when you hire Kiona. She is rapid to respond, and cares very much that her clients UNDERSTAND what is going on with their case. I very much endorse this attorney."
