She is smart, driven, strategic, knowledgeable, prepared, detail oriented and fast. She is aggressive when she needs to be and fair and compassionate when needed. She is also very responsive, very involved and passionate about success. She is a fantastic advocate to have on your side in a complex situation.

I had a long tough divorce that took over 5 years to resolve. I had a difficult financial situation with a business I started during marriage and many financial ups and downs. My ex wife made many false claims and unfair accusations. Kim saw through all this and plotted a path to success.

I had a long tough divorce that took over 5 years to resolve. I had a difficult financial situation with a business I started during marriage and many financial ups and downs. My ex wife made many false claims and unfair accusations. Kim saw through all this and plotted a path to success. Before engaging Kim, I went through two other lawyers, so I had a good basis to compare her performance. My previous lawyers were slow and barely involved. They would not understand the issues and ramble on endlessly.

Kim is nothing like that. At one point there was a need to get a critical agreement signed in just two hours. She made it happen! At other points we needed to work while she was travelling. She did so and still ensured all the details were right.

Few matters in life, outside of health matters, have as much impact on you life as a divorce. Choosing a good lawyer for this, is very hard, but also very critical. I whole heartedly and highly recommend Kim to anyone that needs one. read less

Smart, upfront, and a brilliant attorney! I hired Kim a few months after a default judgment relating to falsified and distorted claims filed by my ex-girlfriend in response to a longstanding dispute.

After a muddling breakup, my ex-girlfriend refused to acknowledge our agreed-upon arrangement of property. To quash my claims, she filed various inflammatory accounts of abuse hundreds of miles from my feasible vicinity. On my very first call with Kim, she immediately saw through the accusations as confounding by design. Whereas many reputable attorneys, unable to digest the sea of information, provided me with faulty guidance, Kim recognized the reality of the dispute and was... read moreI hired Kim a few months after a default judgment relating to falsified and distorted claims filed by my ex-girlfriend in response to a longstanding dispute.

On my very first call with Kim, she immediately saw through the accusations as confounding by design. Whereas many reputable attorneys, unable to digest the sea of information, provided me with faulty guidance, Kim recognized the reality of the dispute and was able to structure the best path forward. I hired her on the spot over the first call.

At our first trial, she thoroughly outclassed the opposing counsel and ultimately paved the path towards an ideal settlement. She is a constant advocate and I leave her practice feeling wholeheartedly indebted. read less

An attorney who truly cares! Kimberly is excellent at her chosen craft: Family Law. She truly cares about her clients, because she listens carefully and then with her client's permission, she leverages years of practical experience litigating and advocating for her clients. She is a consummate professional. I would highly recommend her to anyone who is seeking an attorney who truly cares and has a proven track record of measurable results.

I trust Kim's experience! Kim has been helping me through my child custody case. Kim has been great to me. She tells me exactly what needs to be done and I trust her experience. She answers all my questions and gives me clear answers. She has also been very patient which I appreciate. My case is still ongoing but so far she has helped me to get time with my kids that I want. She seems to really know her stuff and I enjoy her attitude in court.

Determined on Behalf of Her Clients In 2014, in the midst of a tough divorce and international separation from my children, I had the fortune of meeting with and retaining the services of Kimberly Lewellen. Kimberly quickly helped me understand the issues that lay ahead for a single Father who is seeking shared custody. As this is an uphill challenge for Fathers, I deeply appreciated Kimberly's direct, yet clear and considerate insights.

Kimberly's expertise in defense of Fathers is noteworthy. We were able to establish both legal and physical custody rights locally, however we did have a difficult time getting my ex spouse to comply with... read moreIn 2014, in the midst of a tough divorce and international separation from my children, I had the fortune of meeting with and retaining the services of Kimberly Lewellen.

Kimberly's expertise in defense of Fathers is noteworthy. We were able to establish both legal and physical custody rights locally, however we did have a difficult time getting my ex spouse to comply with the judgment. It's a unique situation to have a counselor who clearly understands divorce and custody matters from a Fathers perspective. That truly helped matters along the way.

One aspect that drew me to her services and still remains to this day, is that Kimberly engages on your behalf with a steel focus to demand what is in the best interest of her client, while maintaining dignity in her efforts. It was important to me to find an attorney that would support my case by managing it with a level of decency and care considering that there were children involved. Kimberly was able to deliver on that as well, and I was able to walk away from my legal matter at peace with my results.

I am confident in my recommending Kimberly Lewellen for counsel on Child and Family legal matters. read less

On Point Kimberly is an excellent attorney. Throughout my volatile and often emotional mediation process, Kimberly remained diligent and professional. She was prepared, direct and assertive. Her knowledge, experience and proven credibility was invaluable toward reaching a good outcome. Kimberly brought a rational perspective to an often irrational negotiation. I appreciate her counsel and leadership.

Saved my startup amidst a divorce storm! Kim took my case from day one with all the facts in mind and worked toward my end goal with their CPAs and team members. She fought hard to get me the settlement I needed to continue to run the business I founded during my marriage. If you are looking for a key partner to help you navigate the murky waters of divorce and business continuity then Kim is just right for you.

Highly recommended!

Child Custody can be tough – But with the right attorney, you can persevere. The synopsis: I had hired my first lawyer through reference and it was not good. Upset and demoralized, a friend recommended Michael to me. To my surprise, I quickly received a response and was on the phone with Michael. It was a sign of his professionalism and things to come. In short time, Michael became an expert in my case and was able to fight for me and my child. The case itself was a long case, and was hard as a Dad on so many levels. But Michael was clear about what was going on. He was a good... read moreThe synopsis: I had hired my first lawyer through reference and it was not good. Upset and demoralized, a friend recommended Michael to me. To my surprise, I quickly received a response and was on the phone with Michael. It was a sign of his professionalism and things to come. In short time, Michael became an expert in my case and was able to fight for me and my child. The case itself was a long case, and was hard as a Dad on so many levels. But Michael was clear about what was going on. He was a good listener and offered sound legal advice. By the end of the journey, my child was allowed to stay with me. Michael’s sensitivity to the case allowed for as smooth closure as I could have hoped for. I truly believe that Michael was the turning point in that life event. Since then, my family has settled and have begun this new chapter of life together. *I highly recommend Michael’s legal services. read less

Excellence Michael was a huge help to me with my case. He and his team were always available to answer any questions I had. They had me completely prepared for my case. I would highly recommend Michael and Cordell & Cordell to anyone.

Very Good Attorney Michael has been extremely diligent in his efforts to finally close a Divorce case for me that has been ongoing since 2012. He has been excellent at communication with me even when I am exasperated by this process. A far better attorney than I have had in the past and I wish I had him at the beginning of this divorce as opposed to the end. I would give him the highest mark possible.

Very Sharp Without getting into detail about my case, I'd just like to say that Michael dug me out of a pretty deep hole. His preparation, craft and determination enabled me to prevail. Thanks to him, my family and children can live a much better life.

Compassionate and professional Michael is an interesting blend of dry humor, and traditional common sense. You get a sense that he's been in the situation you're currently in hundreds of times, and can navigate you towards the best situation. In my case, Michael was unfortunately dealt a bad hand, as the lawyer prior to him made my case incredibly more difficult and expensive costing me thousands of dollars. Michael did what he could, getting fees taken off, and taking the case in a positive direction. I only wish he had been in charge the entire time.

Guardian Angel and Attorney in one I had 2 consults with Michael and several phone calls in between those 2 consults. He showed me the utmost competence, professionalism and compassion of any attorney I have ever met. It was clear that he was more interested than doing what's right for me than what might just be good for business. Even though I haven't retained him yet, his response time, knowledge and very clear and sound legal advice demonstrate to me that he is a rare gem in the legal community! Thank you Michael - you're truly befitting of your namesake Archangel Michael.

Great representation!! Michael Strebe represented me in a recent spousal support hearing and his representation was stellar. I had been raked over the coals by my ex until I hired Michael. He was ALWAYS available whenever I called and he gave a piece of mind I hadn't known during the entire divorce. (5yrs)I used to think I couldn't afford and attorney, after my experience with Michael, I learned I couldn't afford NOT to have him. Thank you very much Michael!

Excellent attorney - highly recommend I turned to Michael Strebe because I was unhappy with my previous lawyer in a dissolution matter. What a pleasant surprise! Michael was knowledgeable, highly effective and always kept in mind my best interest. He maintatined just the right amount of communication, keeping me properly informed while, at the same time, shielding me from all the drama the other party was constantly introducing into the proceedings. Michael Strebe managed to find the proper strategy to bring the whole matter to a timely conclusion. I never felt that he was doing anything to increase his billing (unlike my previous attorney).

Micheal is one of the best lawyer. I hired Michael to help me with my case and would like to recommend him as a strong advocate who helped me through a very difficult time in my life. Michael guided me through the entire process, with compassion and really cared about my case. Michael was professional and competent through the trial and got me a winning verdict. I highly recommend him for divorce and domestic violence cases.

Responsive and informative Michael helped me with my family law matter. Of course I was not happy needing the services of an attorney, but I was happy to have Michael help me through the process. He was very responsive to my questions and kept me informed throughout this personal ordeal.
