I was falsely accused of domestic violence by a vindictive ex girlfriend. Kimberly relentlessly fought for and secured the dismissal of my case by showing I was the real victim. At first, the DA was convinced I was the bad guy. Had my charges not been dropped, I would have faced significant professional consequences.

I was originally sentenced to probation almost ten years ago not too long after I left the state and only recently came back. At first the prosecutor wanted me to do sixty days to resolve the case. Then I retained Kimberly and she advised me on what steps to take so that she could convince the DA to either reduce the jail time or hopefully make it go away entirely. Now my case is resolved with no jail at all. thank you!

At first the DA wanted a felony conviction and in the end she got my whole case dismissed within only a few weeks after reaching out to the prosecutor, even refunding me part of the retainer when she didnt have to. Thank you thank you!!!!

Right when I was finishing a three year probation sentence, I found out I had a warrant in a completely different case that was several years old. Kimberly helped me to clear that warrant and ultimately get that case dismissed so that I could complete my probation without a hitch. Thank you!

It took a few months but she got the whole case thrown out. I thought I was going to lose everything but she was able to show the case was full of holes and never should have been filed by the state. This outcome helped me gain the upper hand in my separation case which was huge. Def would use again but hope not to

Working with this lawyer was straightforward and provided me relief from the stress my case was causing me and my family. She was able to guide me to the outcome I wanted in my case with little complication. I was kept updated as needed throughout the process.

Hired for a felony assault case. I was charged even though I was the real victim. She was able to carefully take apart the prosecutor‘s case through many hours of work and to quickly convince him to drop the charges. He even complimented her on how thorough and detailed she had been.

She was very thorough and showed sympathy to my situation and got my case dropped in only a few months. When offered a plea bargain she continued to fight for me to have my name cleared. Because this was dropped I kept my job and my record is still clear

Kim was absolutely amazing to work with! Thorough, timely, kind and very knowledgeable are just a few words I'd use to describe her. Not only did I feel more supported and confident going into my legal proceedings, she won my case before I could even get to the courthouse. Could not recommend her services more. 10 out of 10 for sure!
