This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very on point

I recently went through some felony stuff after three years of thinking it had just disappeared. Biggest devastation of my life. I had gotten my life together after that and honestly thought I was going to prison after everything I had accomplished after my horrible mistakes. Kimberly was very suppor...tive and honest with me. Even though I didn't get the outcome I was expecting (or her for that matter.. lets just say the judge didn't like me at all and has a bad reputation) I still didn't end up in PRISON or actual jail for that matter. Work release for 90 days (60 with good time) so I am able to maintain my job and my life. She always responds to me emails right away and, like I mentioned, is VERY supportive. My experience was great and she stopped me on numerous occasions from having a nervous breakdown. I really love her and if you're looking for a lawyer you can trust look no further.

The best lawyer!

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..., Kimberly was a wonderful guidance and friend, more than anything else. It is thanks to Kimberly that I can enjoy my life the way I do today, with my three beloved daughters. Thank you Kimberly for all you have done for me! I would definitely recommend her as a lawyer for anyone looking for a positive experience!!

Relationship: Worked for lawyer

"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."
