I have been working with Amy West before she came to Primus and she is far and away the best lawyer I have ever met. Amy was the third lawyer I hired during my custody battle and I have no doubt that if I had found her in the beginning, things would be different. The first time I was in court with Amy she got asked by several other families for a business card as we were leaving. Even the court recorder asked for one, and you know that recorder sees a lot of lawyers. Amy knows her stuff and frequently brings up case law to help my case while in court and opposing counsel is always left dumbfounded

Kimberly was the best family lawyer I’ve had to use and with as many times my ex has taken me to court I’ve been through a few. Kimberly is very professional and top notch in my book and will recommend her to family ,friends or anyone that needs a Family lawyer. I highly recommend her and God forbid I should need a family lawyer again ,it will definitely be her. I was extremely satisfied with my outcome .

Highly recommend Primus Family Law group! They were patient with my lack of knowledge and worked with me to achieve expected results. Kimberly Soule Esq. was a pleasure to work with and an absolute pro. Hopefully will not need legal guidance in the future, but if I do, they will be the first call.

Kimberly is very professional and hard working. I didn’t think I would have a chance of getting my daughter back. Kimberly fought hard. She is always responsive and caring. She was always aggressive and strong in the court. I was very lucky to have her fight by my side. I will never forget her. I followed Kimberly from her previous firm. I made sure to have Kimberly. I was impressed and comfortable with her. The case ended well. I have been living my happiest days alongside my daughter. Thank you Kimberly!

Kimberly Soule was amazing. She was so helpful and explained everything. She took my concerns seriously but helped keep me on track with what is necessary and what isn't. I will forever recommend people hire a lawyer for divorce, Kimberly specifically. The money was well worth the peace of mind Kimberly gave me.

Highly recommend the team of professionals at Primus. I'm an active duty service member and they worked hard and were very realistic and attentive to my case. I got my kids back after the navy sent me away and my ex went to mork on me. Definitely worth every penny and I was able to win my case all due to the support and work my lawyer and her paralegal i won't name drop them but they rock. I would Absolutely recommend them to anyone going the a divorce or custody battle.

Kimberly is an outstanding lawyer who has worked tirelessly to keep my son's visitation with his five year old son. During the telecourt hearing she maintained superb professionalism and was obviously prepared for the case. I cannot recommend using Kimberly Soule enough to fight the best fight to keep parents, especially fathers, connected with their children.

I needed an attorney that was fearless against anyone, stood up to everyone, knew Family Law like the back of her hand, and was very bottom line. Bonnie is definitely that attorney for sure!! I was referred to Bonnie Mantel by an attorney friend who understood what my daughter was up against, and what I needed in an attorney. He highly recommended Bonnie because he had personally worked with her for years and knew she would deliver. Bonnie did not disappoint!! Ethical, professional and very, very good!! I highly recommend Bonnie! thank you so much Bonnie. We need more attorney's like you! L. Madsen

She has an experienced and hard working team that worked their tails off for me during my custody battle. I couldn’t be more happy with the outcome of my case. I don’t have enough words to express my gratitude towards Bonnie Mantel and the Primus Family Law Group!!
