"Kim is an extraordinary advocate. She is tenacious and creative and thorough. Not only that, she genuinely cares for her clients. It's clear that she sees beyond the charges they face, and can find the real story, and spotlight the "human" side of their situation. She has the respect of her peers, her opponents, and the judiciary. She also gives generously of her time to the defense community by working to improve access to justice and to raise the level of practice for criminal defense attorneys across the state. I endorse Kim without hesitation!"

"I strongly endorse this lawyer. A number of years ago I worked with Kim Gordon at The Defender Association representing indigent clients. I have followed her continued good work representing folks in private practice. She was and continues to be an excellent attorney. She represented people charged with misdemeanor and felony crimes. She always wrote strong briefs, had the case investigated properly, and was never afraid to take a case to trial to get the best outcome for her client. I would hire her to represent a friend if needed."

"I endorse this lawyer. In my practice I have the opportunity to work with many defense attorneys as co-counsel. Kim is one of the best defense attorneys I have worked with. She is very conscientious of her client's needs and works extremely hard to reach their goals. She is smart, a great writer, and is able to problem solve very difficult situations in a manner that can be inordinately successful for her clients."

"I have known Kim since we worked together at The Defender Association nearly a decade ago. As a supervisor at TDA she had a knack for identifying creative defenses that others overlooked and winning them when others thought she had no shot (e.g. selective prosecution defense on behalf of alleged ticket scalpers, 1st amendment defense on behalf of WTO rioters). Since leaving TDA she has gone on to win a murder case while employed by one of the city's leading defense firms and expanded her activism beyond the courtroom, leading legislative intiatives to lessen the impact of non-conviction data, championing fundraising on behalf of the Post-Prison Education Project, and leading WACDL as its president. I endorse Kim unreservedly."

"Kim is one of those hard-nosed litigators that prosecutors dread. As a fellow attorney, I can say that she is on my short-list of lawyers that I would allow to represent me if I ever need legal help."

Daron Morris

"Kim is a tremendous attorney. From the moment she takes on a case, she is thinking aggressively and creatively about the path to victory. Kim is not content to simply litigate the issues as they present themselves. Instead, she dissects a case by looking behind the neat facade that the government often tries to present. Kim and I recently worked on a complicated sentencing issue where this exact approach completely deflated the prosecution's theory. This helped give the client the confidence he needed to push his case forward to trial, which ultimately resulted in an incredible plea offer."

"Kim Gordon is an outstanding, superb lawyer. She has an exceptional legal mind, finely-honed trial, courtroom, and appellate advocacy skills, and forms tight bonds with her clients. Kim and I have co-chaired the WACDL/WDA Legislative Committee and served on the WACDL Board of Governors for several years. She is passionate and committed to criminal defense issues and brings her knowledge of policy concerns to each case, to her clients' benefit. She commands a tremendous amount of respect among all of the actors in the criminal system, and it's well-earned--how many lawyers can say that they obtained a not-guilty verdict on a murder case?!!? She has that rare combination of both amazing appellate and trial skills, which make her a force to be reckoned with. I know I wouldn't want to oppose her! Hire her."
