What Kim Anderson’s Clients are Saying:

“Excellent – I highly recommend Kimberly Anderson. She is knowledgeable, assertive, and experienced. What impressed me most about Kim is her dedication. I was able to reach her whenever there was a problem. She always responded immediately, proposed a solution, and put me at ease. The entire legal team at Anderson Boback & Marshall is superb.” – Lisa, 2017
“Impressive – Had to commend Ms. Anderson. Although I was represented by someone else in the beginning of my divorce, who I believed was experienced in complex divorce cases, as they advertised. They were not. I watched Ms. Anderson in a courtroom on another matter and called her afterward to see if she would take on my divorce case as I was unsatisfied with my attorney’s representation. Best call I ever made! I wish I had called her first, would have saved myself much aggravation, time and money.” – James, 2017
“Effective Representation, Strong Communication – I hired Kim Anderson of Anderson Boback & Marshall during a complicated and emotionally difficult time, after reviewing and meeting with several firms. Their representation was top-notch- from our initial intake consultation through the difficult and lengthy litigation process, they were thorough, thoughtful, and results- driven. They explained complex litigation strategies, as well as the minutiae, as they wrote briefs, appeared in court on my behalf, and took depositions of the many witnesses involved in my case. They also delivered a successful result- after several years of trudging through the tedious legal system, we won!! Their fees were in the range I expected, they were reasonably accessible, and most importantly, I felt supported all the way through the process. If you find yourself in the unhappy situation of needing a lawyer to fight for you, I recommend Anderson Boback & Marshall without hesitation.” – Bri, 2017

- Divorce : Eviction (in Marriage of King, 208 Ill. 2d 332, 802 N.E.2d 1216, 280 Ill.Dec. 695 (Ill., 2003) Sam King came to me because he was facing an eviction. He is now deceased. But at the time, he was in his 80’s and had just gotten divorced. His attorney had sued him for attorneys fees and Sam had lost his fight against his attorney in court. The attorney received a judgment against Sam and ended up placing a levy on his house. Without Sam’s knowledge, his house was sold for just $23,000, even though it was worth $80,000.As Sam’s attorney, we sought to undo the order selling his house. Eventually the Cook County Public Guardian came on to the case with me so that Sam could be adjudicated a disabled person. The trial court ended up vacating the sale and the case went up to the Illinois Supreme Court where Sam was again successful. He was able to get his home back and lived there until he died.
- Adoption , Domestic Abuse: Drug Addiction, & Adoption Represented a drug addicted mother who was facing the adoption of her 4 year old daughter. Client was dating a man who beat her, and she was using drugs. She wanted to make a change in her life, so she obtained an order of protection to remove the man from her life and she went into rehab. She couldn’t bring her daughter with her to rehab, so she entrusted her daughter with the father’s parents, people she was getting along with and liked at the time. When she got out of rehab, she went to get her daughter back, and the grandparents refused. They filed for adoption. It took three years, but we were successful in keeping the grandparents from adopting her daughter.
