Thorough, communicative, and professional. Helped me through a divorce process involving complex assets and a parenting plan, resulting in an equitable and amicable outcome. Would recommend.

Kim Aril helped me through the most difficult period in my life- divorce and child custody. I believe my case is considered to be high conflict, as I was the victim of domestic violence from someone with a military background and who had just been hired as a police officer with a local department , and our child was only 7 weeks old when I began the divorce process. After several consultations with different attorneys I knew Kim was who i needed in my corner. She is incredibly intelligent, ethical, fierce, honest and knows the law well. I’ve retained Kim twice and both times the outcome was in our favor. I hope that I do not find myself in a situation again where I need to hire an attorney , but if I do I will always hire Kim. She is as honest, realistic and she never made me any promises which I respect. I was no walk in the park either, I was very emotional throughout the process but Kim handled things well and professionally. Kim has my highest recommendation.

I interviewed a dozen lawyers before selecting Kim April. It was a pleasure to work with Kim. I would highly recommend due to her professionalism and experience. Kim kept the train on the tracks and minimized costs. Her advice and representation were critical to a successful outcome for my family. Hiring Kim was the key to resolving what could have easily been a horrible ordeal. Thank you!

Kimberly made it really easy for me to finish my divorce process and in less than 2 weeks, everything was settled and finalize. Can't thank her enough!

I hired Ms. April back in 2016 to help me with my divorce. She handled everything professionally, with promptness, and patiently answered all my questions. Because I had such a great experience I decided to seek her help again when it was time to file for a child support modification. Just like the last time, she made everything go smoothly. I would definitely recommend Ms. April.

I've never been a fan of lawyers. In fact, I've tried to avoid using a lawyer since my divorce in 2016. When I did hire one in the past, it was a horrible experience. In the past couple years my ex had filed multiple petitions, one of which was to change the parenting plan that we've had for years, and take my kids from me. At this point I knew I needed to hire a lawyer again, but based on my previous poor experience I made sure to pay more attention to how the lawyer operates. My experience with Ms. April was great since my consultation. I appreciate how straight forward and "matter of fact" she is. She is highly knowledgeable of the law and straight to the point. She listened to my concerns and represented those concerns well. Ms. April excels in the courtroom as well. She clearly states facts and evidence without the "fluff" and is very well spoken. I was very impressed. After working with her, I know why she is respected among many in the community. I wouldn't hesitate at all to use her again in the future. I strongly recommend her. Thanks for your help Ms. April, I appreciate everything!

She helped me with my custody case, and was excellent. Gave me all the information I needed to make sure I knew my rights, and answered every question I had, no matter how silly it might have been. I definitely recommend her!!!

Kimberly handled my legal separation and when the time came, my final decree of divorce. She was always prompt, compassionate, and a pleasure to work with.

I highly recommend Ms. April and her paralegal Ms. Olenick. Both of them were always on top of their game and kept me updated on court proceedings. Ms. April did an excellent job understanding my concerns and addressing them appropriately during my divorce and custody hearings. I always felt prepared and confident with Ms. April as my representation. She went above and beyond my expectations. I will always recommend her to anyone needing a divorce/custody lawyer in the Tacoma area. Thank you!

Kimberly April is a fantastic attorney who worked extremely hard on my case from beginning to end. She was extremely attentive and answered all of my questions. I would highly recommend Kimberly if you need an amazing attorney who will work hard to get you what you deserve.

Lost & completely devastated. That is exactly how I felt when I decided to file for a divorce in 2009. There are so many horror stories concerning divorce cases and unfortunately mine was no exception. My ex-husband made the process unnecessarily complicated and emotionally exhausting. I was extremely lucky to have had Kimberly April as my attorney. She has extensive legal knowledge of family law matters and has the ability to represent you in a manner that is clear and precise. Additionally, she comforted me through all my tears, listened to all of my concerns and never made me feel as though I was a burden or taking up too much of her time. In my opinion, when you lose someone that you were supposed to be with for the rest of your life, it can feel like you lost part of your soul. The hideous acts of betrayal and using our children as pawns almost destroyed me emotionally. I could not believe the devious stunts my ex-husband presented in our case. It was difficult at the time, but I sincerely appreciated Kimberly’s constant integrity and refusal to stoop to his level. She always reminded me that I should keep my children’s best interest in mind, not to retaliate out of spite and to remain the adult in the situation. Ten years later, my children are happy and have a healthy relationship with BOTH their parents. We have 50/50 custody and continue to put our children’s needs first (despite our differences). I would highly recommend Kimberly April to represent you no matter your gender. She is more than just an attorney, she is a kind and compassionate person who truly cares for her clients and their families.

When I needed a divorce attorney I really didn't know where to begin. I was in an emotionally abusive marriage with a highly toxic individual whom I was absolutely afraid of. I was scared and anxious of asking for anything through the court system regardless if I knew deep down that I deserved fairness. I consulted with my family attorney, who turned out to be quite judgmental, in my hometown who cemented the fact that even if I was deserved fairness, I likely wouldn't get it. Kimberly was such a warm welcome to my life at the right time. It may seem small but divorcing a woman just after the law passed of same-sex marriages brought me a great deal of anxiety that Kimberly, with her lack of discrimination and open mindedness calmed immediately upon meeting her. She listened to my story and when I defaulted into my groomed behavior of lacking assertiveness, apologizing frequently and putting my abuser's needs ahead of my own she calmly reminded me that while the courts are not perfect, they have the boundaries that I needed. She was knowledgeable about the type of personality I was dealing with and this was one of the greatest reliefs. I never felt like I had to defend myself or share excessively of my suffering to feel heard and understood. I never felt that I had to explain the emotional violence, manipulation and toll that my relationship caused. Kimberly helped me understand what legally appropriate boundaries to have with my abuser as I didn’t know if I should talk to her or not. She helped me not only with the legal-ease and paperwork, but also, in the end, separating my self-worth from the story that I had been told about myself for so long. Even though I knew that each correspondence with her would be itemized; her guidance, gentle affirmations, legal-ease explanations and detailed responses were priceless. She helped me make my own decisions on what I truly wanted that several years later, I have absolutely no regrets about. To this day, I still can't thank Kimberly enough for all that she did for me. While I am sure that my case was just another day in the life for her, she created an environment that anything but that for me.
