Reviews for Kimberly A.
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I was fortunate to have Kimberly and her firm recommended by a life long trusted attorney friend here in the Midwest. I needed help in settling my Father's estate in Florida. Kim listened to the details of the base needs and engaged in a conversation about details, the larger picture, and personal feelings to consider on how we move forward. She was marvelous in offering aspects that allowed me to reduce firm costs by me researching and organizing details, and documents needed. Her firm team were also so friendly and responsive. Kim was a tough negotiator with the opposition, and yet was so supportive for me during some emotional decisions. She also reduced cost by settling the estate out of court, after a years of perseverance. Through Kim's achievements we settled the estate at a much smaller amount than I had suggested at the onset. When the case was closed I found I missed our conversations as she became a friend.. She is the perfect blend of excellence in being a professional.
Kim and her team were a pleasure to work with and helped us secure a favorable outcome to our case, despite the tough reputation/track record of the defendants. Kim was consistently on top of the details and deadlines, broke down complex legal information in ways that were easy to understand, provided sound counsel and made sure to keep us on task! Highly recommended.
Kim was a pleasure to work with. The litigation was vexatious, in my view seeking to extract a settlement that was underserved. Kim was stalwart, tough and relentless. The facts were on our side. The other side used abusive tactics intended to make the case painful so we’d pay off. But we stuck to it. Kim didn’t let the bad guys get away with anything. She came prepared everyday, both for the law and the tactics. At the end, we resolved the case very favorably and even though I could tell she wanted to beat the pants off our opponent, she gave us the best advice to pay a small settlement and put it behind us. She could have taken it down to the bitter end and made loads more in fees. But she did what was best for us. She is without a doubt the BEST lawyer I ever dealt with. And as a lawyer myself, I’ve dealt with a boatload of them.
