Kim Cameron-Smith is a trusts and estates attorney and the founder of Fidelitas Law. Kim’s own father died unexpectedly in 2004 without an estate plan or instructions for his family. She experienced first-hand the chaos and pain of mourning a death while trying to sort out a decedent’s estate. Kim is passionate about helping her clients with all aspects of legacy planning and trust and estate administration.
Before beginning her practice at Fidelitas Law, Kim was a trusts and estates attorney at a Bay Area boutique law firm. She also has practice experience in criminal law, and she served for 8 years as a staff attorney for a state-wide homeschooling non-profit organization. During law school, she clerked at a multinational law firm and the U.S. Attorneys Office.
In her free time, Kim enjoys sewing, reading, cooking, and hanging out with her husband and children. An award winning author, she also enjoys tutoring kids in writing, literature, and grammar.
