Seasoned Trial Attorney. From driving offenses to violent crime, I have experience handling all levels of criminal charges, including homicide. I bring my trial and negotiation skills to the family courts as well. Licensed in MA, NH, and the US District Courts of MA and NH.

I have nearly a decade of experience as a zealous, no-stone-unturned advocate for people facing the toughest legal challenges. I provide detail-oriented, holistic counsel with a compassionate approach.

As a trial lawyer, I have extensively litigated a variety of legal issues, including eyewitness identification, coerced confessions, repressed memories, and search and seizure. While practicing in New Hampshire, I provided litigation support to other attorneys in the areas of eyewitness identification and trial skills, including jury voir dire.

I am a 2011 graduate of the National Criminal Defense College in Macon, Georgia, the most prestigious criminal defense training in the country. In 2015, I attended the Forensic Science and the Law Conference with the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers.  Through my years as a courtroom lawyer, I have earned a reputation as a consummate professional, a relentless investigator and a skilled negotiator. I am regarded as a lawyer of integrity as well as a formidable opponent.

I am a member of The Boston Bar Association, The Women's Bar Association, the Massachusetts Academy of Trial Attorneys, and the New Hampshire Bar Association. I hold a J.D. from Northeastern University (2008), and a B.A. from Antioch College (2001) and is licensed to practice law in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.
| Consulted Attorney
Above and beyond.
Although I did not obtain the services of Attorney Weberg I had the opportunity to have a phone consultation with her. Attorney Weberg listened patiently, spoke candidly and gave me very good advice. She also took the time to reach out to another lawyer and then personally called me back with the referral. I rarely take the time to write reviews, but in this case it was the best way I could show my appreciation, it is rare to find someone that genuinely cares.

Extremely grateful.
Kristin is very personable, professional and has great listening skills and empathy. She advised me in a way that eased the stress I was feeling. I was advised of the likely outcome best and worst case scenarios based on her experience, she outlined what action she would take in either situation. My case was time sensitive and Kristin worked diligently within the constraints. I had access to her anytime I had a question and I was updated as to the progress. In Court she was professional and comforting, explaining to me the procedures and conversations she was having with the Prosecutor. I was very happy with the outcome, it was as she predicted in best case scenario. Kristin sent me the forms I needed to have the arrest annulled. I was extremely satisfied with the experience and recommend her to anyone needing a consult or representation.

Professional, Kindhearted, Talented, Exceptional
Kristin Weberg is a professional, talented and kindhearted attorney whose abilities saved my close friend from 9+ years of "mandatory sentencing guideline" imprisonment. My friend was found with guns in his dorm room that he brought from Texas (Texas-sized guns). We needed someone to help him through the court system, especially after he had fully cooperated with his investigation and his time was all but guaranteed. I interviewed multiple attorneys, and came across Kristin. Kristin helped reverse my friends "dangerousness" decree and had him bailed with zero deposit. Kristin immediately helped un-impound my friend's motorcycles, so they could stop accumulating fees and I could take them off the tow lot. Kristin understood that community engagement from our school would be important: Kristin and I coordinated 20-40 people per trial date, she solicited student support letters and more, all of which moved the court to greatly reduce my friend's sentencing. Kristin has also continued to communicate with our university to delay administrative punishment until well after the trial, when my friend will be able to represent himself with a clear mind. Thanks to Kristin, with good time my friend could be free in approximately one year with no felonies, down from 9+ of mandatory sentencing with multiple felonies. Personally I found Kristin extraordinarily kind and professional. She was able to achieve a plea bargain against a prosecutor who seemed uncommonly difficult to negotiate with, and help save my friend's life from going completely off the rails after his stupid mistake. I highly recommend Kristin Weberg to anyone looking for a defense attorney. Best, Alex

Amazing, very professional and commited to her work
A close friend was involved in a criminal case, Never before had I gone through that experience as of what steps had to be taken, or how was the process. Kristin worked on his case very hard and is a great resource, her communication is 100% explains the pros and cons. I admire alot of things about Kristin and the work she provides but one that stands out about her is the time she takes to answer questions, return calls she goes beyond. It is always a pleasure reaching out to her in difficult moments she's very confident, if she doesn't have the answer at the moment she searches for it and gets back with an answer. She provides a positive and calming environment. I honestly recommend her to anyone that is going through a rough situation she will always be there and work with you. Kristin is definetly the BEST, shes an amazing person. I thank her for everything she has done.

Refreshing! Excellent Communication and Follow Up- Greatly Appreciated!
I oversee my disabled brother's affairs from 1500 miles away. Due to his illness, his car insurance was cancelled. He was rear ended-- not his fault, but the police impounded his car because the policy was cancelled. This was an honest error. After the car was re-registered and proof of insurance was provided in less than 20 minutes, we thought this was the end of it. Instead, he received a summons to appear in District Court, as driving without insurance is a criminal offense. After a long morning of trying to connect to the right person, I was referred to Kristin. She spoke with me the first time I called. Within minutes, I was very comfortable and committed to hiring her, after my brother met her in person. She had hoped to avoid a court appearance, but was not able. Prior to the court date- including the Sunday before the hearing, she kept in touch with me. The case ultimately was dismissed, but the relief I felt, knowing my brother was not alone in the court room, was tremendous. Without hesitation, I would use Kristin's services again and recommend highly. Thank you so much!!

Amazing, Talented and Hardworking Attorney
Kristin recently represented me in a case where i was notified of my hearing date two days prior (on a friday). I must have called six attorneys that could not take my case on such a short notice. it wasn't until i came across Kristin Weberg, who, on a late thursday afternoon decided to drive down to the courthouse with maybe 30 minutes left before they closed, and rectify multiple issues i was unable to, immediately after accepting my case. her professionalism, talent and hard work (especially on short notice) exemplified her true character. while in court arguing before the judge under a tense and emotional atmosphere, she demonstrated kindness and sympathy towards me while also hammering home the facts of the case. her ability to ease my emotional state and provide an impeccable defense in front of the judge was absolutely comforting and amazing. Suffice it to say, there is no other attorney i could think of that's harder working than Kristin Weberg.

Kristin represented me on a criminal case where things were not looking good. My father hired her and she got me out of jail right away and did a great job on my case.

Excellent and experienced Attorney
Attorney Weberg helped me with a family contempt case. As a father the court system can be really tough. Attorney Weberg helped me navigate a difficult uphill process. One of the things that stood out for me when I was interviewing Attorney Weberg was her straight forward honesty. She did not tell me what I wanted to hear, but instead asked tough question and offered realistic counsel. Hiring a great Attorney is a must in some situations, and I could not be happier with the results she delivered.

criminal defense matter
Attorney Weberg's professionalism and willingness to understand the details of my case were unmatched by the two previous attorneys hired to work the case. She always went above and beyond to communicate, schedule meetings and diligently put together a defense strategy, while remaining open to the multiple inquiries regarding various phases of the legal process, which I wasn't familiar with at all. Another important aspect of my case was the sensitivity and subjectivity of the charges and all the possible outcomes. I felt very comfortable to know that Attorney Weberg had taken the time to explain each possible solution and risk involved with every scenario. At the end of the day I felt like I was given options and I wasn't pushed into accepting a unilateral decision making path. She is very well informed and she does a lot of independent research. I strongly recommend Attorney Weberg.
