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...

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...
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.

My orginal attorney did not look for the best for me. When I found Kimberly Brown and explained my frustration of how...

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...

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...
