Her father had let her tag along on one of his rare cases that went to court. It was rarer still that it was tried in the city. That case had been an emotional one. An ex-employee’s family was suing a company for gross negligence in the death of their loved one. She remembered being in awe of her dad as he laid out the case before the judge. He was stoic and aloof. His face didn't change when the opposing counsel described the man's death or his family’s hardships thereafter. She used to idolize her father for being tough in the courtroom. She used to want to be just like him. Now she could see that that wasn't a front he put on for his job, it was his personality. Just like at home, he was unemotional and unattached. That was not the person she wanted to be anymore. Kimberly's case was similar in a lot of ways to that one. It was about a life. Just as that man's family needed the settlement for the welfare of his children, Kimberly's grandmother needed to win custody for the welfare of her.
