Divorce is a dark and lonely abyss. Anyone that’s ever journeyed through this perilous path to reach freedom and peace understands what I mean. Kim Ma was that beacon of hope to help me reach the destination in one piece.
There are many false presumptions and threats made during this time from both sides. There are those attorneys that promise but doesn’t deliver. Kim Ma is the gold standard. Kim provide the law and realistic expectations, not just what I wanted to hear.
In the court room, Kim was poised and established a clear respectful presence. She was factual and experienced with the process and people.
My divorce process was extremely long due to the unwillingness of the other party. During this time, I felt that my retainer and fee was reasonable and every dollar was worth it. I received a monthly statement showing where my charges were, received copies of every document, and they remembered my specific situation without me reiterating throughout the years of my case. Email and phone communication was timely and always followed through.
My only regret was not going to Kim sooner. She navigated me through the treacherous storm. Thank you.

I am so incredibly grateful I found Kim at Cameron Fernandez. I was represented by Kim in my divorce case in the Sacramento judicial system. She is an absolutely consummate professional in every aspect of the word. She's incredibly knowledgeable, intelligent, kind, patient and courteous. Above all she knows law and she knows it very well. She's a solid communicator and was there for me every step of the way. She was available for me night/ weekends/ holidays -- it made no difference. She always made time for me and made me feel like my case was a priority for her. When I begun my search for an attorney I felt extremely overwhelmed. She was referred to me by another attorney in the Sacramento area; and like I said - so tremendously grateful I found her. She is a senior attorney at her firm and is certified in family law. Her credentials speak volumes.
Her office is clean, quiet, centrally located and plenty of free parking. Not like other firms in Sacramento requiring paid parking/ meters/ parking validation... which can make a difficult emotional situation even worse. I definitely can appreciate the accessibility, and also not far from the Courthouse.
Her Administrator, Sherri is also so incredibly kind and knowledgeable as well. They make such a great team and I also appreciate her as well.
Should you find yourself in need of a very good family law attorney, I would not hesitate to recommend Kim in a heartbeat.

In 2016, I filed for custody and won by default. Shortly after, my ex filed to dispute custody, and filed a pretentious emergency ex parte hearing. I only had 24 hours, and knew I needed an attorney. I spoke to Kim and several others, but Kim seemed more significantly competent, assertive, clearly understood the urgency of my situation and made herself available to represent me at my hearing at which she convinced the judge not to send my daughter out of state to live with her mother.
She continued to help me navigate a difficult and contested custody fight, during which I was simultaneously fighting a criminal case that led to CPS involvement. On top of this, my ex made many false claims against me in court. Despite these major hurtles, Kim expertly represented me, and was able to get me full physical and legal custody.
In court, she was conspicuously more composed and experienced than my ex's attorney. Seeing Kim in court leaves me feeling very confident knowing that she represents me. Kim knows the law inside and out, and understands what steps and direction need to be taken.
Just recently in 2019, my daughter had to travel out of state for summer visitation. During this time, she was subjected to major emotional trauma, and placed maliciously into a psyche ward by her mother who would not let my daughter speak with her family. Her mother filed for custody in a state other than in which she lives who was not aware of the existing order and lied to the judge about existing court orders which resulted in her being awarded full custody under false pretenses. Again she made numerous wild accusations and had filed fake CPS allegations against my family members.
Once again I called Kim. Kim knew exactly what to do, and what to avoid. She communicates extremely well, making sure that I knew what I needed to be doing and what the next steps were. She emailed me even at 6 AM on the weekend, working around the clock to help me get my daughter back, which again made me feel better knowing I had Kim with me.
For this case I hired an attorney in the other state as well, and Kim coordinated perfectly with them, demonstrating a strong capability to handle even more difficult cases. She very quickly won return of custody and I was able to bring my daughter home.
I can't express strongly enough how grateful I am to have Kim as my attorney. I absolutely recommend that you give her a call if you are dealing with family law issues.

i have been working with Kim Ma for over 3 years now on several different matters, and i cant imagine where i would be today without her help. Not only was she able to help me get my divorce completely finalized, with far better terms than i had ever expected, she was able to help me receive permanent FULL custody of my 4 children. In California, this is unheard of and most people are shocked when i tell them, but its the truth. My children are safe and happy and healthy now, and its because Kim believed in me and helped me fight to ensure that they were able to be under my sole custody. If i could give Kim 10 stars I would. Thank you again Kim, from the bottom of my heart. My kids and I are very grateful for your hard work and dedication to ensure that justice was served.

Kim was terrific in representing me throughout my divorce. In a difficult time, she made me feel comfortable in the decisions I made for my family. She presented all facts (good and bad) and allowed me to choose what is best for me and my family.

I was in need of a divorce attorney and I needed one quick. I started looking on Yelp and reading reviews. During an emotional and stressful time, it can be extremely overwhelming and it was. One attorney that caught my eye was Kim Ma, not only did she have incredible reviews but most of them noted now efficient, reliable, knowledgeable and honest she was. I called the following day and they were able to schedule me in within a day to see her for a consultation. I couldn't be any more grateful to meet such a sincere, caring and professional attorney who over exceeded my expectations. Kim was straight forward with what to expect and didn't sugar coat anything. I trusted her immediately. Her wisdom & expertise was greatly appreciated in a very trying and difficult time. I cant say enough good things about her. Every time I'd call her (which was very often at times) she would either be available or call me back within a couple hours. When I would email her, she would respond right away. I can't express how thankful I was for her swift communication because at times, I needed answers right away. I've heard horror stories from friends about how their divorce was dragged on because of lack of communication or because their attorney was trying to drag it on for financial gain. I am SO SO thankful this was not the case for me. In 9 months, Kim was able to finalize my divorce. If any of you are reading this, it's because you are in the same position I was in or you know someone that is in my position and needs an attorney. I am so grateful for all the reviews I read that led me to Kim Ma. That is why I am writing my review, to give back and help someone in need. I know how it feels to be in this position and I couldn't stress anymore how thankful you will be, to reach out to Kim. I HIGHLY recommend her if you want an HONEST, HARD WORKING, EFFECTIVE, DILIGENT, and EFFICIENT attorney who will fight for you with honesty and integrity and will look out for your best interest. You are very welcome in advance! Thank you Kim for caring for me in the most difficult time in my life. I will never forget how you made me feel so cared for and protected. I will forever be indebted to you.

I am very grateful to this firm and in particular, their outstanding attorney, Kim Ma for her extraordinary level of service and expertise. These situations are never easy, but Kim proved herself to be a superior legal counsel and very, very professional. Highly competent, extremely knowledgeable about family law, calming and assuring, personable, and exceptional instincts. I would highly recommend the Law Office of Cameron M. Fernandez, and for those in and around the Sacramento/Capitol region, Kim Ma. She will treat all parties involved with respect, dignity and the highest level of committed legal professionalism.

Kim T Ma is a phenomenal lawyer, I am lucky to have had her as my legal counsel in my child custody case. From our first introduction, to my final day in court, she proved in every way that she was the right attorney for me. Kim is professional, compassionate, and clearly an expert in her field. Child custody court is a stressful, complicated, and emotional process; Kim helped me get through all of it, and far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend her services to anyone in need of legal counsel in Child Custody court.

After making the difficult decision to divorce, my kids and I headed into the great unknown of divorce and the family law court system. After an extensive search, I found one of the best family lawyers to represent me. I experienced first hand why Kim earned a 10.0 Avvo rating. Her vast knowledge and many years of experience achieved positive results with my case. Kim answered my many questions promptly, managed expectations approximately, and offered sound advice. She always conducts herself professionally during office visits, court appearances, and email exchanges with myself and others. Through it all, I felt I had the very best lawyer on my side and I would strongly recommend her services to anyone needing a great family attorney.

I hired Kim for a child custody case and she was phenomenal working with me and the other party to reach an agreement to avoid going back to court. She listened tentatively to all of my questions and ALWAYS responded in a timely manner. I appreciate her attention to detail, professional recommendations, but also how she was understanding and tried to relate with me in one of the most difficult times in my life. I will always recommend Kim to anyone facing a family law case and am so happy I hired her to represent me. Thank you Kim, I will forever be grateful that you represented me.
