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.

Unprofessional

I hired Kimberly Brown to represent me in my divorce.. She was highly combative and rude when I asked questions pertaining to my case. She verbally berated me and was highly unprofessional. I had paid her a huge retainer upfront so needless to say, I was stuck with her. She is knowlegeable, but do ...not challenge her knowledge, ask questions or expect respect as a client or human being.

Note to Public: This is not a client of mine. I do not charge a "huge" retainer (in fact my retainer is about 1/2 the going rate). I believe that this "anonymous" posting was posted by the same disgruntled opposing counsel that is being disciplined by the bar association for unprofessional conduct. The timing of the post conicides with a case I had with her. The general public should be aware that of the over 400 clients that I have, I have withdrawn my representation from approximaatley 6 case. The others remain clients of mine to this day. If you want to know what type of attorney I am - please contact me and I would be happy to provide a free consultation. You should obtain referrals from actual clients. Ask your friends and family for a referral. Do not rely on sites that are open to the public and allow anonymous postings. Pubic forum posts can be from disgruntled ex's, your local competition or someone who lost to you in court last week. The best way to select an attorney is to meet with them.

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!!

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!

Paralegal

I have had the privilege of working with Kimberly as part of my paralegal training some years ago. In the time I spent with her, I found that not only was she knowledgeable on the law, she advocates for her clients to achieve the best possible outcome for them. In the years since, I have been privi...leged to gain insight and knowledge from her, explained in a way that I understand; it is this same method and technique that she provides her clients. It is difficult to find an attorney that will give you the personal attention you need and walk you through every step of the process. Kimberly has also helped me with a few personal matters to which her professionalism and integrity maintained. Kimberly's knowledge of the law, combined with her passion for what she does, makes her a top notch. I highly recommend attorney Kimberly Brown.
