My case started 2.5 years ago - hearings - continuences - motions filed - it ended in a two day trial where I was found not guilty on all charges - Kim was brilliant - she is by far the best DUI attorney in the Midwest - she is not someone you consider she is someone you hire - my family is forever greatful to her for her masterful work on my case - Kim I’m blessed that you were part of my team when I turned my life around!
Kim Benjamin is super nice and a awesome Attorney. I would recommend her to anyone. I called her and explained my situation and she was on top of it right away. She gets things done for you. I hired Kim just in case I needed her to back me up on a murder that I had no part of. She is well worth the money it takes to get out of whatever the situation you are in. Or she will recommend someone for you if she can't. Kim is the best attorney out there.
I was facing a serious dui charge and the penalties were harsh. It was a long road and at times I wanted to quit fighting and Kim asked me to let her keep fighting for me. It’s hard to trust someone when it’s your life on the line but I did and it was the best choice I could’ve made. She got my charges dropped when I wanted to just take the plea and get on with my life. She has a true passion for her craft like no other lawyer I’ve ever met. She fights for you and what is right. Not once did she ever let me down. I was always surprised about how much work she had been doing on my case behind the scenes when we would have our meetings. If I ever hear anyone needing a lawyer I always suggest them to you contact Kim.
Kim is an outstanding lawyer and someone you definitely want in your corner. I was referred to her by a family member who was a public defender. She was adamant that Kim Benjamin represent me. Kim listened intently without bias and genuinely cared about my case. She is compassionate, brilliant and exudes professionalism.
Who do you hire when you are scared about your or your son or daughter's future? Where do you go for help? With so many lawyers to choose from, who will be the one to fight for our son? The answer to all of these questions is Kimberly Benjamin hands down. When our only son got into trouble, I admit that I was scared and did not know what to do. Without trying to sound "churchy" I prayed and felt 100% that Kimberly Benjamin was the one to hire. I was so convinced in my heart that I actually insisted on hiring her. So she was hired and I am so thankful that my son listened. It took a long time, but we could not be happier with the results Kim was able to get for our son, and honestly, our family. In order to give credit where credit is due, I want to also mention that our son changed his life drastically over the period of time that his legal issues kept being continued month after month and year after year. But due to his hard work, many prayers and Kim's negotiation skills, he was able to overcome his problems and has been given a new lease on life. So if you are scared and don't know which lawyer to turn to in your time of help, trust me and hire the best - Kim Benjamin. While I cannot guarantee you the same results she got for our son, I can guarantee you that she will work her hardest to help you anyway she can. Kimberly, thank you SO much for all of your help for our son and your patience with all of our questions. It was a very long road, but it was worth the results. You are amazing and we will forever be grateful to you!!! Blessings, Beth
My back was against the wall. Then I met Kim. She fought for me the whole way. Such a great attorney! She knows her stuff! The state of Missouri dismissed my case and we never even had to go to court. Thank you so much Kim.

I hired Kim for a bogus criminal charge that should have never made it that far in the system.... Kim actually cared about how it was impacting my life and she went above and beyond to get all of the details of my case correct. Kim is very competitive when it comes to defending her clients. I felt confident in her abilities from the very start. I would recommend Kim to anyone and everyone that is looking for a good attorney that puts all of their effort into every case.
I have worked with Kim for several years. She is a lawyer's lawyer. Many awards, many wins and not only is she one of the top 100 DUI lawyers nationally she is a genuinely kind and caring person. You know you are dealing with an expert when your lawyer is teaching other lawyers.

Always professional and always on top of her game. Can't go wrong.
