About:
I am a founding partner at Lewellen Family Law Group P.C., where our practice is devoted entirely to family law. As a trial attorney and mediator, I handle cases that involve high conflict situations and complex legal challenges in family law litigation. I am recognized by the State Bar of California as a certified family law attorney. Throughout my career, I have advised clients ranging from straightforward divorces to those entangled in intricate financial and custody disputes. My deep-seated experience in complex family law litigation and premarital agreements equips me to guide my clients through difficult times to secure favorable results. I am committed to maintaining the confidentiality of sensitive family issues and believe that the most favorable outcomes are often achieved through discreet, negotiated settlements. My practice covers all facets of matrimonial and family law, including divorce, separation, paternity, custody, domestic abuse, and agreements related to premarital, post-marital, and marital settlements. I have built strong connections with some of the state's most knowledgeable family law professionals. I often lead a team of these professionals to assist my clients in achieving the most favorable results for their unique situations. At Lewellen Family Law Group, we offer below-market rates for clients who opt for mediation, including full document process services for filing and service. This approach is designed to foster settlement in a neutral and supportive setting, regardless of the net worth or income levels of the parties involved. Our firm includes an in-house forensic accountant who also serves as a mediator. In mediations that involve complex financial issues, my colleague George and I co-mediate to provide comprehensive financial analysis. View More ›

"Kim Lewellen is direct, focused, and honest. She is not just an attorney, she is a true human. She was clear in her communication and mentioned my options. She clarified somethings for me and enlightened me to what I had a feeling of which is very validating especially if you were in DV situation. In addition, she is kind and honest which is rare in this age."

"This place took my case and assigned me a lawyer (Strebb).Thousands of dollars were billed for no results, minimal to no professional contribution from the counsel, and months of inaction. Then they fire the guy and tell me to take my issue up with the individual they selected to handle my case. No apologies for ripping me off, no concessions offered, nothing. Just take the money and run. Then they claim I'm trying to harm the firm's reputation by telling the truth about their inaction and billing me attorney rates for basic paralegal services. I'm still waiting for them to return the case file I provided for them."

"Kimberly and everyone in her office has been exceptionally wonderful! Kimberly pays attention to the smallest details and really invests in the case, making sure all bases are covered, being incredibly proactive and prepared for all angles. She takes the time to know her client, and has been a truly knowledgeable attorney, and has helped navigate in a very high conflict, scary situation! On top of being well informed and professional, she has been kind and reassuring."
