The Paton Law Firm, Estate Planning Lawyers in Bergen County

Kimberly A. Paton and her team of support staff are committed to finding custom solutions to your legal challenges and serving your long-term legal needs.

Legal counsel and conflict resolution-just short of litigation

In our adversarial legal system, most lawyers engage in a war of words. Kimberly Paton is different. She works with you to develop clearly stated estate plans and contracts. She works with you through the process of estate administration. If a contract fails to protect you or your business from liability, she works with you and the other party to reach a compromise. She takes pride in her reputation as a dealmaker, not a deal-breaker. Kimberly Paton believes that litigation is an absolute last resort. Courtroom trials are often not worth the damage to your reputation or the monetary cost. She exhausts every available avenue of compromise before referring you to a qualified litigator. In most cases, compromise is possible when the issues underlying the problem get sorted out.

A pebble dropped into a pond makes waves

This is our client service philosophy. We see every transaction as a pebble that has long-term effects on our client relationships. This is why we take a personal interest in every case and visit our clients at home or in their offices, no matter how big or small the transaction. We will never turn down a job because the transaction is too small, but we will let you know when an attorney is unnecessary. Our initial consultations are completely free and our fees are competitive because we are careful about our overhead costs. We pass these savings on to clients. Honesty. Integrity. This is what sets us apart.

Valued members of your support network

Our firm is unique in the fact that we have a system of follow-ups in place to ensure that your legal needs are met quickly and cost-efficiently. We often consult with an external network of experts-from tax professionals to real estate appraisers-to ensure that our clients achieve the best possible outcomes. This is how we deliver value to clients and build lasting relationships within our community.

Kim was so great at helping me set up a trust for my in-laws. She is compassionate, thorough, and responsive. I have referred others to Kim in the past, and would not hesitate to do so in the future. She is a wonderful person and a great attorney. You can work with her confidently! Thanks Kim!

I had to revise my will and was recommended to your firm. I had such a positive experience. I immediately felt at ease and comfortable starting with the receptionist who offered me coffee. When I met Kimberly Patton, I found her to be warm, understanding, and knowledgeable. She reviewed my options in terms I could easily understand. When I left her office, I felt very secure in what decision I had made. Thank you for helping to make the whole process a positive experience. I will not hesitate to hire you for any further legal issues I may encounter.

My wife and I met with Kimberly to prepare our will, power of attorney and living will. Kimberly cut through all the legalese and explained everything clearly and simply to our satisfaction. We would heartily recommend The Paton Law Firm.

Over the years I have interacted with multiple attorneys on various matters, each of whom resolved the issue at hand, albeit in a decidedly perfunctory manner. Most recently and in the midst of this pandemic I researched estate specialists in our area and it was my good fortune to come upon Kimberly Paton. As a psychologist I am by training attuned to personality traits and so feel especially qualified to state unequivocally that Ms. Paton is an authentic, caring and highly capable attorney in whom I have complete trust. So much so in fact that friends and family have been eager for Ms. Paton’s contact information. That said I highly recommend Kimberly for all your estate planning needs.

Effective, responsive, compassionate and smart Kimberly has done the wills for my in laws my parents and has updated my will twice. She has forethought, and takes the time to consider the consequences of what is coming on the horizon. I had difficulty in dealing with a sibling in matters of the estate.
