Professional and thorough

I had the pleasure of working with Ms. Arn and several members of her team for my extremely difficult and complex custody and relocation case. While Ms. Arn was not the one to ultimately represent me during the final hearing, she was a key part of the process through all other aspects, and I felt tha...t her expertise and advice in developing the best possible defense and counter claim were a big part of the final result. Because of her team, my kids and I were granted permission to relocate out of state and I retained primary custody of my children. I would recommend Arn Family Law and Ms. Arn above any other attorney.

Compassion, Integrity, Results

Kimberly T. Arn is professional, quick to respond, fights for your rights and everything in which you are entitled. I was nervous about the process and quite resigned that I could get anywhere. She helped me to see the facts, patient as I processed everything, helped me to focus on what I wanted, and... gave me space to choose what was best.

I can’t thank her enough!!!

From the moment I made the decision of filing for divorce, I knew my path was going to be full of obstacles. If you feel the same way, please choose Mrs Arn as your lawyer! I’m so glad I made that decision. Although the process of divorce and custody battle was very stressful , I’m very content and h...appy with the outcome. Mrs. Arn lined up all the right people for me and for my kids and I was able to get the desired outcome. She’s a very dedicated, hard working lawyer and is always on top of everything. She came up with a very detailed oriented custody schedule for my kids so that they could have an easy transition going through this messy process. Whenever I felt concerned about anything, all I had to do was send her an email. Mrs. Arn replied to my emails even over the weekends. Although her office is in Annapolis, I never went to her office and saved myself so much time by doing conference calls. It made my life so much easier to know that she was only a phone call away. She genuinely cares for her clients and I can’t thank her enough!!!

Highly Recommend

I couldn't have asked for better representation. From beginning to end, Kimberly and her team were extraordinary. Heather Shek, whom also worked on my case, is driven, personable, and sharp. Kimberly's legal expertise and professionalism went above and beyond my expectations throughout the duration o...f my case. I highly recommend anyone going through a difficult custody/high conflict divorce, to work with Kimberly and her team. She is fair, tough, and operates with integrity. I felt very confident in the courtroom with her on my side. She is a force to contend with, and I am thankful for her dedication and commitment throughout my case.

Client-focused, brilliant advocate

I can't say enough about Kimberly and her team. I found her in an online search, and I really lucked out. Kimberly helped guide me through a difficult child custody case. Throughout the process, she always gave me outstanding advice and counsel. She's certainly very sharp from a legal standpoint.... She knows the finest details of how family law works, and is very good at laying it out to someone who is not a lawyer. Her team also did some excellent research in my case, which turned out to be a huge help. I think the best part of working with Kimberly is that she always really listened. I never had any impression that she was rushing me along to get to the next thing or the next client. She was always completely engaged and listened to my every concern and question. I was amazed that many months after I mentioned some small detail, she would bring it back up to me. She knew my case forwards and backwards, and she really does her homework. It's clear that her clients' welfare is really important to her. I was really lucky to have her professional advice and guidance through this period. If you are going through any kind of family law challenges, I highly recommend Kimberly and her team. It was my great privilege to work with them, and they got a result that was great for my family.
