Reviews for Kim P.
Have you consulted or hired this lawyer?
Leave a review about your experience with this lawyer.I was with an absolutely clueless employment lawyer before I met Kim. Kim was so professional and brilliant in contrast it was night and day, and she cleared up my employment situation in one sitting. Kim has been around the block, is incredibly honest, does not have an interest in taking money from clients and she thinks outside the box. she's also very, very compassionate. This lawyer knows her stuff and I highly recommend you go to see her.
Ms. Berg is an exceptional attorney. She is extremely thorough, well-prepared, and consistently keeps the best interest of her clients first and foremost. I highly recommend Ms. Berg.
