WISH I COULD GIVE ZERO STARS

THE WORST ATTORNEY EVER. SHE COMPLETELY RIPPED OFF MY FAMILY AND DID NOT DEFEND US AT ALL. SHE LIED TO US AND SABOTAGED US. YOU SHOULD FEEL ASHAMED OF YOURSELF KIMBERLY.

She disappeared!

Her office space is empty! The furniture is gone, the signs are gone. The employees at the offices next door said they haven’t seen her car in a couple of weeks. They assumed she was on vacation. I told them her office space is completely vacant. They went outside to see for themselves, and were surp...rised they hadn’t noticed the vacancy until today. The phone # is no longer a working #. What’s going on? I gave her a $2000 retainer in April 2019. I’ve not heard anything from her in months! I would expect to at least be notified that she relocated! I give MINUS 5 stars!

Awesome Lawyer with reasonable rates and super knowledgeable!

Kimberly is an amazing attorney! She is super knowledgeable about all aspects of the law, explains all our options so we fully understand, and I felt that she really cares about our well being. She was very professional. I highly recommend her for all your legal needs!

Thanks!

Kimberly was crucial in helping me overcome some last minute custody issues I had no idea how to address. She calmed me down and gave solid practical advice, not just telling me what I wanted to hear. She walked me through each step. I would recommend!

"I endorse this lawyer. Kim and I attended law school together and both work as attorneys in our small, local community. Kim offers helpful insight on this forum and to members of our community. She also has extensive knowledge in the area of education law, and her published articles in that area offer great insight. Although we work at different firms, our firm does not hesitate to refer clients over to Kim if we are conflicted out or otherwise unable to take a case. I am always confident when referring clients to Kim that the client will have a knowledgeable, skilled attorney advocate on their side."

"I endorse this lawyer as a valuable member of this forum. Attorneys who participate in this forum are providing useful information for those in need and should be commended. Further, the type of information conveyed is in the true spirit of professionalism where information is provided to help those in need which is the underpinning of the legal profession. Often the users of this forum are given second opinions that expand on information or provide contradictory information. Providing information empowers the uninformed to go forward with confronting their legal problems. I recommend and endorse this attorney."

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.
