My goal is to provide multiple options for families going through the process of divorce to minimize the pain, anguish and expense the divorce experience can bring. These options are designed to support clients in resolving the issues that come with this process, in an efficient, effective manner, that minimizes blame and futile battles, and emphasizes communication, and goal based conflict resolution.

I first met Kim when I was at a very stressful time in my life. I found myself needing an attorney to represent me in a very difficult and emotional divorce. I've never been in a situation that I needed attorney representation before and had no idea what to expect. From the moment I met her in her office, she went to work addressing my concerns and misconceptions, helping me to understand what the divorce process was going to be like.

Attorney Kim Duell is a highly educated, experienced, take-charge attorney. I was divorced 11 years ago and recently had to go back to court on matters involving child support, visitation, and higher education for my children. Attorney Duell proved herself invaluable in all aspects. I only wish I had used her originally. Her knowledge, outstanding leadership, and critical thinking skills make her a first rate divorce attorney. I would not hesitate to recommend Attorney Kim Duell with complete confidence!!!

Attorney Duell goes above and beyond to represent her clients. She is a compassionate listener, validates your opinion and provides her clients with her recommendation based on the law. She is your strongest advocate during a most vulnerable time in a person's life. I am deeply appreciative of her counsel and advocacy. I have I trusted her with some of the most important decisions and her council has always been excellent. She is knowledgeable of the courts system she represented me in and advised me on recent case rulings. I remember the first thing she said to me upon meeting her "If I feel I

Attorney Kim Duell is professional in and out of the courtroom and very knowledgeable when it comes to family law. She was also caring and compassionate to my situation. Her quick wit and humor made it all the more bearable. She was even available at off times; communicating with me via email after hours or while on vacation! While hiring an attorney is always expensive, I felt her fees were fair and accurate. I was very comfortable working with Kim (and her assistant) and will definitely turn to her in the future if the need arises.
