Kimberly Garde

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!

Great Attorney

3 years ago Kimberly helped me get half legal custody of my son. I was considering representing my self at first but after seeing her for a consultation I knew I needed her on my side if I had any hope of understanding the system and the channels to go through . Kimberly was knowledgeable, professional and very understanding of my position. I can never thank her enough for bringing my son back into my life.

There when I needed you most

I was referred to Kimberly Garde by my son who is also an attorney. Her professionalism was just what I needed to handle my case. She was available and very knowledgeable in handling my divorce. She listens and advised but did not take too much time to explain. I would highly recommend Ms. Garde for your legal needs. Thank you for your assistance.

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 surprised 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!

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."
