Kimberlee D. Norris is a sexual abuse trial attorney: representing victims of abuse, serving as a consulting and testifying expert in abuse cases, and providing crisis management and allegation response counsel to ministries of all sizes. An acknowledged authority in legal standards of care, Norris has trained over three million ministry staff members and volunteers since 2005. With her law partner, Gregory Love, she serves as Co-founder and Director of MinistrySafe and MinistrySafe Institute, which grew out of a desire to place proactive tools and training into the hands of churches and ministries nationwide and across the globe.

National Association of Church Business Administration (NACBA), Baptist state conventions and hundreds of churches, private schools and camps.
