Kim Dore-Hackbarth

Court Reporter | RPR, CCR

I love being a court reporter.  It is hugely challenging and interesting for so many different reasons.  I am associated with a great firm and love working with great clients on interesting cases.  Second best decision I ever made!

Kim joined Buell in 1999 as one of the company’s first three court reporters after working for many years as a legal secretary and legal word processor.  Upon graduation, she moved to Seattle to work as a freelance court reporter, and has vast experience in complex, multi-party depositions.  Kim also has Federal clearance.

Kim’s many interests include travel, art, and most of all enjoying music, wine, and a good laugh with her family and friends.  Kim loves her French bulldog, Dottie, but has given up on trying to train her.  Thank goodness she is cute!
