Very professional, very dedicated!
Kim is the best lawyer I have ever dealt with! She was extremely knowledgeable and patient with me and my wife when trying to learn what we needed to do for our hearing. She explained everything so thoroughly, and I truly believe if it wasn’t for her, I would not have won my case. Thank you!
Response from Kimberley Felton November 23, 2020
Thank you! It was such a pleasure to work on your case. I wish you both the happiest lifetime together.
