Tenacity At Its Best

I have now known Kimberly and hired her over six years ago. I was getting ready to file for divorce at the time from my now ex-wife and I was shopping around for a lawyer. Being a man it was my intention not to become the typical ex-husband that winds up losing custody of his children, paying child s...upport and alimony all because my ex-wife woke up one day and decided she didn't like being married to me yet she would not divorce me nor would she work on repairing the marriage as well, finally I said enough is enough so I initiated the divorce. What I was looking for in a lawyer was one that would fight for me in the event things got messy and we had to go to court; I wanted the "big guns" in reserve if ever needed. I spoke to several lawyers and in the end Kimberly was what I was looking for. Being from east coast of the U.S., I am use to people telling me like it is--good or bad, also I am use to people being “aggressive” and by that I mean they do not back down and do what they have to in life for themselves or others in order to achieve a specific goal. After talking to several lawyers Kimberly was the one that stood out and met my criteria. Kimberly has always been up front with me and honest, her fees were always less than that of any other lawyer that I had talked to, she never nickeled and dimed me to death like some lawyers do, they charge you for every little thing, in fact we still keep in touch and over the years she has looked at documents and made some corrections for me, has given me advice and never has asked for a single penny. In the end everything was settled in a civilized manner and although the ex and I have joint custody of the children I was listed as the “primary” parent. If you want someone who will have your back Kimberly is the one to hire. Kimberly will always be my lawyer regarding family matters but I also consider her a friend.

best of the best!

When I was referred to Kimberly brown by a coworker after telling him about how brutal my divorce was going he told me how Kimberly resolved his never-ending divorce.I called her and met with her quick. I had already been engaged in my divorce for over 3 years and after the repeated cps claims I felt... that it was never going to end.she took charge and took care of everything. Kimberly was very clear about the strategy she would follow and kept me completely involved in the process. She helped me save money where she could when I was having trouble.when even my guardian adliedemam was frustrated with all of repeated false allegations she pushed back. The day Kimberly forced mediation so the couldn't hide anymore was like a massive weight lifted of of my shoulders. When I heard the words binding arbitration and a resolution was agreed (the ex left in tears )I never felt so great! I have a great parenting plan and the ex and I are done with the war! I Thank you Kimberly!

Great family attorney! Highly Recommend!

I was referred to Kimberly a few years ago from a friend when I was getting ready to file for divorce. From the first moment I met Kimberly I knew she was the one to represent me! She is down to earth, sincere, caring, and extremely professional. It was very emotional process for me and she did an am...azing job of helping walk me through the process and simplifying it for me. She listened to me, heard my painful story, did not minimize the pain I was going through, and professionally advised me on the plan I should take to protect myself. At the end of the process she held my hand to give me strength when I was standing in front of the judge on my own to formalize my divorce. Since then we've kept in touch and I consider her a very dear friend. I highly recommend Kimberly for any family legal needs you may have!

Very Helpful, patient and informative attorney.

Kimberly Brown has been the most patient attorney I have met. When I first got divorced I had an attorney that did not explain anything and just did the fast route to get me divorced. My orginal attorney did not look for the best for me. When I found Kimberly Brown and explained my frustration of how... confusing my parenting plan was she took the time and looked over my parenting plan and child support orders. She explained in detailed about my parenting plan and child support. I have a very difficult situation with my ex and when I become frustrated on communication Kimberly takes over. Each and every time I have come to Kimberly she has a sense of urgency and uderstanding that make me at ease. When ever I doubt myslef of my understanding of my parenting plan or child support orders she reassures me that I am correct and advises me on how to approach each and every one of my situations. She also reassures me that she is behind me every time if needed. She is really quick and attentive to each and every one of my situations. She has been my advisor and attorney for the past 3 years. If I had never found her I would not be able to stand up to my ex like I have and had the courage to do what I have done. She is not only caring and understanding she is very patient and pationate about what is right and will do all that she can to fight for what is right for the kids. Always looking out for the best interest of the kids.

So thankful for Kimberly!

When I realized my marriage had fallen apart and I needed legal representation, I asked around to trusted friends and colleagues, Kimberly came highly recommended more than once. Scared, upset and hurting, I met up with her and instantly, my worries were lessened, and she gave me incredible peace... of mind. Kimberly was knowledgeable, informative, responsive, and helped me through the entire process. I cannot say enough wonderful things about how she made a seemingly unbearable process, bearable. If you're looking for a go-getter, who will go to bat for you, and be honest and up front with you, Kimberly is the family law lawyer for you!! Thank you Kimberly, for your help during one of the most difficult times of my life!!
