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!

Do not Trust this Lawyer! She is not Professional in the Court House nor with her Clients!

Kimberly Brown needs to respect her clients and her adversary. As she tried to help me with my case in court for kids, she started yelling and interrupting the commissioner. I personally thought she has issues either at home or with her practice. Thank gawed the commissioner put Kimberly Brown in p...lace. Its hard to get a hold of her, and she loses cases after cases as I was told and looking at blogs and tweets. She was rude to her adversary talking back and putting them down. I could never hire her as a Lawyer. She made me lie in Court to make the other party to look bad for her to win her case. Pay extra for a professional Lawyer, Please! You will reap benefits in the long run for paying extra....

Each time I am advised by a peer or actual client that there is a negative review on this site - I am contiually perplexed by who writes these and the "checks and balances" on this site to ensure that these are written by actual clients and are listed for the right person. The above person is not a client of mine. I acutally believe that this review as well as the one below are written by an attorney who was previous counsel who I reproted to the WSBA and who is currently facing disciplinary actions. The only way you will actually know whether an attorney is right for you is to go meet with them and speak with clients that they actually represent.

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!

The Stickiest of Divorces

I met Kimberly Brown at a significant crossroad in my life. I had decided to leave my abusive drug addicted husband. Kimberly was referred to me by several friends who had utilized her services and received excellent representation and results. I knew that my divorce would be complex and I needed som...eone who could keep me straight and remember my objectives even when my own vision was clouded. Kimberly was that for me. Kimberly has truly been in my corner through out the entire process. Kimberly was consistent. knowledgeable and trustworthy through the entire proceedings. My divorce included DV protection orders for myself and my children, GAL investigations and supervised visitation. Kimberly was there for me and my children every step of the way. I would not have been able to get my life back without Kimberly's dedication and drive to fight for me and my family. I am forever grateful!

Saved my life!!

After reading the negative reviews on this page I am honestly wondering if they even have the correct attorney and if they are clients why are they not listing their names? Weird. I hired Kimberly to help with a child custody and support issue. She was almost always available for me when I had quest...ions and/or needed help and if she wasn't available I would always get an email informing me she was busy and that she would get back to me and she always did. She always explained things to me exactly the way they were and wouldn't sugar coat things just to make me happy. We had several court appearances, mediation and finally arbitration oh and an appeal, she was always very professional and because she refused to sugar coat and only asked for a fair outcome I was very pleased every step of the way. Her knowledge of the law is incredible and her retainer is very fair, I found it to be about half the cost of others which was a great help to a single mom. You definitely get what you pay for and then some. I have recommended her to several friends and all have nothing but praise to say. I have know idea what I would have done without her as I was very scared and my ex was very intimidating to me. She made me feel safe and at ease and together we made it through this. For all Kimberly Brown did for me with her compassion, knowledge and professionalism she saved my life. I will always be thankful.
