Brilliant, High-principled and Conscientious

After disappointing attempts working with other attorneys, we feel so fortunate to have found Kim to help us during a long and complicated litigation process. As she tirelessly and tenaciously worked even beyond our expectations, we observed her amazing, critical-thinking mind; high concern for clie...nts' interests; deep professional expertise; and drive for accuracy, which consistently provided us with wise advice. Kim was our strong, dependable and trustworthy advocate during a difficult time. She was always fully prepared and already anticipating steps ahead, which helped us reach a satisfactory outcome. If you are ever in need of a brilliant, high-principled and conscientious environmental legal attorney, we most highly recommend Kim.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
