About Kimberly L
Kimberly L Fitzgerald took a circuitous route to the courtroom. She began by studying communication at James Madison University, where she earned a B.S. and added a minor in political science. The combination of persuasion and politics pulled her toward law school, and she completed her J.D. at the University of Richmond School of Law.
Her early legal years included a term as a judicial law clerk in 2007 for the Henrico County Circuit Court. That clerkship placed her inside the courtroom and behind the bench. She observed trial practice, legal writing, and the judiciary’s workflow up close. Those months shaped how she approaches procedure and case preparation today.
After the clerkship she moved into private practice. Records show she worked as a lawyer at Waldman & Associates in 2011. The next year she joined Friedman Law Office, P.C., where she is listed as Lawyer-at-Law beginning in 2012. Over time she has handled filings, client consultations, and courtroom appearances as part of her professional duties. Her background combines courtroom exposure from the clerkship with years of front-line work at small firm practices.
Her academic grounding in communication studies often appears in how she manages client interactions and prepares trial materials. At the University of Richmond School of Law she developed the legal research and writing skills that support daily practice. That mix of practical courtroom experience and formal legal training informs her approach to case strategy and client counseling.
Colleagues describe her work as steady and methodical. She has navigated civil procedures and case management in Virginia courts and adjusted to the practical demands of running case files for private clients. She brings the perspective of someone who has seen matters from the bench and then pursued similar cases at the firm level.
Today she is affiliated with Friedman Law Office, P.C., practicing in Virginia. She continues to represent clients, manage litigation tasks and handle transactional work as needed. She currently practices law in Virginia at Friedman Law Office, P.C., representing clients in matters arising under Virginia law.
