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...

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...

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,...

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...
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...
