Super Impressed

Kimberlee was my second attorney in my divorce case and once she took over my case things started to move along. She treated my daughter and I as though we were very important and our case was very important. She answered our questions spent time with us and made sure we understood every step of t...he process. I was super happy with her!

Client’s Daughter

Kimberlee and her dedicated staff helped my mother through a difficult divorce. My mom was very ill when her husband decided he wanted to divorce her. Kimberlee stood by my mom every step of the way. Her advice and guidance through this process helped my mom relax and focus on her health because she ...knew her case was in excellent hands. Kimberlee’s representation was intelligent and experienced resulting in a much larger settlement than my mother’s ex was originally offering. My mother is now living very comfortablely and able to focus on her health and her family. Kimberlee’s victory in court not only gave my mother the resources to live well it freed mom from a bad marriage. My mother and I, along with the rest of our family, will be forever grateful to Kimberlee and her Team for their caring, professional service on my mother’s behalf.

Knowledgeable, professional and caring

Kim is a superstar and did a great job handling my divorce! She definitely has the favor and trust of the court. We always took the high road and got exactly the fair results we wanted, even though opposing counsel was very agressive and always tried to be difficult.

Out of state divorce

From the first contact that I had with Ms. Colbo, she has been responsive and kept me informed about the details of my case. This was particularly important for me because I live out of state, and never met directly with her. She sent me emails regularly and responded to any questions that I had prom...ptly, even during non-traditional work hours. Further, Ms. Colbo acted on my behalf with knowledge and was able to give me reliable, wise counsel as it was needed in making decisions in the case. I found her advice and guidance trustworthy, i felt that she gave personal understanding to my unique situation, and sought to protect my interests throughout the process. I felt confident in her representation, expertise, and professionalism, and give highest recommendations.

Kim was an absolute blessing. Highly recommended!

Going through a divorce can turn your life upside down and Kim was an absolute blessing to have in my challenging divorce and child custody case. She is very knowledgeable, professional and her performance is the courtroom was outstanding. I appreciate how patient and understanding Kim was during t...he tough times. She stood strong for me and we ended up with pretty much everything that we asked for in the divorce settlement and child custody. I would defiantly recommend Kim to anyone that is in need of an attorney.
