Attorney Kimberly M. Cutler has been certified by the Ohio State Bar Association as a specialist in Estate Planning, Trust and Probate Law. This certification makes Kim one of a small group of attorneys in Ohio to have earned this distinction.

"I am pleased to offer my clients this added expertise," said Kim. "I would be happy to answer questions about Estate Planning, Trust and Probate law or about other areas of law that I practice, including business and real estate transactions.

CBJS partner Mike Streng noted that there are many requirements for an attorney to be certified by the Ohio State Bar Association as a specialist. The attorney must demonstrate substantial and continuing involvement and pass an intensive examination in the certification area of law. Mike emphasized that the attorney must continue to attend intermediate or advanced annual legal education courses after being certified. "Kim has met all of these standards and we could not be more proud of her and excited that she has attained this level of expertise. The citizens of Union County and those who live in surrounding counties are very lucky to have someone of Kim's caliber to call on when they need the type of services that Kim provides", remarked Streng.

Before earning her Master of Laws in Business and Taxation in 2003, Kim graduated cum laude from Capital University Law School in 2002. In addition to her Juris Doctorate, Kim received her Bachelor of Business Administration in Marketing and Business from Ohio University.

For several years Kim practiced law in Dublin, Ohio. Kim joined CBJS in August of 2008 where she continues to create volumes of simple and complex estate plans, administer hundreds of estates and trusts, and conduct countless real estate and business transactions. "Kim has been a tremendous asset to the firm" commented John Cannizzaro, the firm's founding partner.

Kim is currently accepting new clients.
