"I retained Kimberly Robinson in my custody and parenting time case. We went to a mediator, went back and forth drafting motions and the like, finally ending things in court. I wouldn’t have asked for anyone else to be sitting next to me as I felt I could trust her, and that she truly had my son’s (and my) best intentions at the forefront. Kim was calm, focused, prepared, and respectful. She fights (for lack of a better term) fair and with composure. I respected her desire to not get dirty, and to play within the realm of “honest.” In the end, I think that was beneficial to my case, and, though no one ever truly “wins” in custody battles, we got what we had asked for from the judge. I am not a professional litigator, nor am I a client that frequents the courtroom. What I am is a mother who wanted what was best for her child and who found the best attorney to help her achieve that goal. Kimberly Robinson is a great Family Law attorney due to her diligence, knowledge, abilities in researching cases, and her follow-through. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for help in a Family Law matter."
