An idiot and a greedy lawyer who’ll only waste your time and money

She’ll waste your time and money dragging your case out for, literally, YEARS. She’s a fat, ugly, greedy pig. She represented my ex in a divorce and I, representing myself as a “pro se” party, with zero legal training, still beat her handily in court. Meanwhile, for almost TWO YEARS, she dragged t...he case out and reveled in inflaming the already-contentious dispute between my ex and me. In the end, she cost him $20,000, and he was awarded FAR LESS than he would have been if he’d just accepted my initial offer. What morons.

Best Attorney - So Grateful!

Kimberly was my attorney for my long and difficult divorce. Though I had been a stay at home mother for 17 years, my ex didn't seem to think I deserved a fair settlement and insisted on taking me to trial - twice - and refused arbitration. Kimberly helped me handle the emotional challenges of dealing... with a narcissist who harassed me over the year-and-a-half it took to get my divorce finalized and she is an extremely competent lawyer, both in dealing with my ex's attorney, the mediators and experts we worked with along the way, in the courtroom during both trials and, ultimately, during settlement negotiations. I was fortunate enough to have a judge who saw that there was no reason to be in trial for my divorce (again, not kidding when I say my ex demanded we go to trial in his attempt to prove he made less money than his W2 said) and told Kimberly and my ex's lawyer to mediate and settle outside the courtroom - where Kimberly skillfully (and with integrity) handled the negotiations until we reached a settlement agreement. She responded to motion after motion from my ex's attorney and is a skilled writer. She powerfully and succinctly makes her points with grace. She is also a direct and clear communicator when negotiating and working with others. When working through issues she processes so quickly that I frequently had to catch up to follower her thinking and yet she had the patience to explain her thought process when I asked her to. I'm not a religious person - and I feel truly blessed to have had her as my attorney. She was exactly the type of lawyer that I needed. Compassionate, caring and competent.

Highly Recommended - Full of Support

She was hired to be my attorney for a divorce. She knew what exactly I want for my life. She took a good care of everything as needed. I have won twice, because of her highly trained and prepared. My parents also were impressed with her accomplishments and got my case done in a nice way. Thank you,... Kim, for helping us in a big time!

Speechless

I consulted with Kimberly Brown and was shocked by what I encountered. She is rude, unnecessarily combative, and focuses on going to battle; not finding a solution that's conducive to all parties involved. I could not get her to focus on anything other than being "out to get" my soon to be ex-husband.... Sure I can't stand the guy but we still have kids to raise together. Shouldn't we focus on them? Kimberly's only concern is going after people, not doing what will work best in the long run. I'm not someone who typically posts on these sites but was so taken aback by her lack of professionalism and open hostility that I had to say something. She's affordable but gives meaning to the term, "you get what you pay for."

Attorney's dont have an agenda for your life. There would be no reason for any attorney to be "out to get" anyone's soon to be Ex. No one wants a court battle (or the mountains of paper work necessary to engage it) unless absolutely necessary. If I was told a story that led me to believe that a potential client and the children were in need of protection and support then I'm going to recommend immediation court action. If I heard a story that lead me to believe that I am working with one half of 2 mature and reasonable adults that have mutually deciding to part ways - then my recommendation would focus on non-litigation means of resolution. My recommendations are based soley on the information I receive from the client. Attorneys aren't out to "get" anyone. We just do the paperwork and make the arguments based on the information that the client provides. Oh...and I'm not apologizing for making my services "affordable". I'm an attorney - not a brain surgeon.

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.
