Kim Leding Wins Mechanics Lien Dispute for Client

Kim Leding, a partner at PLP Law Corporation, recent won a Mechanics Lien settlement on behalf of our client in his dispute with a large company. As a result, he recently posted this review on Kim’s AVVO.com profile. Reprinted here with permission:

Kim Leding is an Exceptional Attorney!

Kimberly Leding is an awesome attorney, FULL STOP PERIOD! From our initial consultation, I found Kim to be extremely knowledgeable of the type of case (a release of a Mechanics Lien) I presented to her for help. She was very open with me as she explained the facts, concerns and issues of my case. And, her fee was reasonable.

She was also always prompt with updating me on the status of my case. She never left me wondering as to what’s going on. My legal opponent is a large company. However, Kim swiftly and deftly resolved the case 100% in my favor. She is a legal warrior! I will, and have, recommended her to my friends and business associates.

If in the future, I find myself needing an attorney, I will not hesitate to seek her representation. I wish I could give her 10 stars!
