Kimberly was my voice in court

Kimberly gave me a voice in court after years of uncertainty, loss, and frustration. I felt like I had an ally in a world where it feels like everything goes against fathers. I highly recommend working with Kimberly.

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.

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.

Review

Kimberly Brown was perfect for me and my case. She represented me the way I wanted and needed to be. She listened and was realistic about outcomes. She was not high pressure and I appreciated her and I highly recommend her.

5 star plus plus plus!

If I could rate this attorney 20 stars I would! She saved my family, my home and my future! I can't say thank you enough.
