My belief is that people should neither suffer injustice nor be defined by their missteps. As a result, I strive to form relationships with my clients based on the mutual respect, honesty and trust that will allow us to effectively and confidently confront the challenges ahead.
I understand the personal toll that a criminal allegation can take on individuals and their families, so I treat my clients with the concern and respect they deserve while working diligently to protect their rights and interests. I consider all potential impacts to my clients and effectively pursue the best possible outcome in each of their cases.
My breadth of experience as a criminal defense attorney, my depth of knowledge of the law, my skill as a negotiator and a litigator, and my compassion for people caught up in the criminal justice system are the considerable strengths I bring to my representation of every client.

My name is Chi. In 2005, I went through several issues that jeopardized my future. During this time, Kimberly was a great source of help to turn to. She helped me understand what was going on at all times, and made sure that I knew what kind of situation I was in. For the entire duration of the issue...
"I wholeheartedly endorse attorney Kimberley Exe. Kimberley and I met each other while attending University of Washington School of Law. I have known Kimberley as a very hardworking individual with a passion for the law. Kimberly is experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated criminal law attorney.

"Kim is a client centered and a hard working attorney. She is known as an excellent trial lawyer who will fight to make sure her clients get the right result."
"I worked for Kim as an intern while she was the director of the felony unit at a public defender office in Seattle. She was an excellent mentor -- I benefited tremendously from her experience, judgment, and insight. Were that not enough, she is remarkably caring and approachable, to boot. Kim is an excellent, compassionate attorney who puts her clients first. I can't think of anyone I'd rather have in my corner if I were charged with a crime."
"For many years, Kim was known as one of the most experienced, knowledgeable, and dedicated public defenders in King County. Now in private practice, her clients will reap the benefits of her broad experience, compassion, and skill. I highly endorse this lawyer."

At trial I successfully discredited the prosecution's "Shaken Baby Syndrome" theory, saving my client many years in prison.
Despite the prosecution arresting and flying my client's ex-girlfriend from another state to testify at his trial, my client was found not guilty of all charges.
