I cannot tell you how much Kim has honestly changed my life. Since the first day I walked into her firm, she took care of me as if I were family. She had fought and still continues to fight during my divorce case. There has been many times I’ve just wanted to give up but Kim is a true and dedicated fighter. She is bold and makes fights for her clients. I could not have been honestly blessed with another attorney like Kim. I feel so comfortable asking her anything. She does give it to you straight, as that what you’d like when someone if fighting for your life. I can’t thank Kim and Sophia enough for the ups and downs I’ve experience with custody and divorce. Kim does not back down no matter what. If you want someone that is going to take care of you and fight for you like you’re family, look no more! Kim is the one and I honestly can’t thank God enough that I walked into her office. Thank you Kim & Sophia. I will refer Kim in a heartbeat. I’ll be very grateful for this experience. Also, she answers the phone and emails immediately. You don’t get that, that often with attorneys, however that just shows you how much she cares and is different from the rest!

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. Where do I even start? Ms. Kimberly took on my case after another lawyer had it for a year and accomplished nothing. During our interview, she accomplished more in thirty minutes than the previous lawyer did in a year. Weeks before divorce court, she confidently took over my case, and watching and hearing her in the courtroom, I knew God had sent me the right person.<br>It wasn't long before Ms. Kimberly saw through the false allegations and went to work. Ms. Kimberly is a go-getter, and her demeanor may not always be what you expect, but if you follow her instructions and trust her process, she will get things done. Had it not been for her knowledge and experience of the law, I do not believe I would have or could have had a better outcome than the one I got. Thank you so much, Ms. Kimberly, for everything. You're an amazing lawyer, and I will recommend you to everyone I meet. God bless you.

I have not needed an attorney… yet.. but I do know the counselor personally from my workplace. I can vouch for her character, determination and dedication. She is a kindhearted person and someone you need in your corner if you need counsel.<br>On a personal note.. Counselor.. you will remember me from the pharmacy. I may need you.

I hired Kim for my divorce, i had a temporary hearing and had little time to come up with someone, i heard her name so i went with her. Their was many false allegations that put my son in jeopardy of being took from me, and i was scared because that little boy is my life! My husband has money, and I am just surviving the best I can at the moment. I was so scared to have to go through with the temporary hearing, and so emotional. In the one week we had to prepare, Kim and Sophie was able to take the time and patience to listen, understand, gather all things needed and let the truth be known to the judge. I still have my baby, and I am very greatful for their hard work in short notice time

I had the privilege of working with Kimberly during an extremely difficult period in my life which was a termination of parental rights case along with adoption. From our first meeting Kim demonstrated a deep understanding of family law and a genuine concern for my wellbeing. Kim was always approachable, answering all my questions and providing clear guidance throughout the process.<br><br>Thanks to Kimberly's hard work and commitment, I achieved a resolution that was better than expected. Kimberly is a true advocate for her clients and an exceptional professional in the field.

As a private investigator, I’ve worked with Kimberly Montanari on a variety of cases. She is a top notch attorney, and always fights for the absolute best outcome for her clients. She is respected, professional and knows the law. And she cares about the people she represents. The clients of hers who I’ve had the pleasure of working for have come through the family court process knowing that during one of the toughest times of their lives they had someone on their side fighting for them who genuinely cared about the outcome.

In the most difficult time of my life, I was treated like family. Kimberly stood by me every step of the way. She answered emails and phone calls, even on holidays, and showed up to court with the flu. Who else does that for their clients, no one. My divorce was finalized a year ago. She fought with me for two years through more trash than an A&E drama, and assured me the whole way I would get everything she promised...and I did. Even today, a year later, she answers my emails the day I send them and makes me feel like family. Though she would probably prefer me not post this, after my divorce was finalized she hasn’t charged me a dime for her continued advice and council. She can see people’s character, she is highly selective on who she represents, and if she chooses to represent you, let the lady work because she is amazing. Kimberly and Carolyn are in my prayers every night and I am eternally great Gil for all they have done and continue to do.

Kimberly was wonderful to work with. She informed me, paid close attention to my case while still maintaining a busy practice. The final outcome of my case was above and beyond anything I thought possible at this time. Thanks for a job well done!
