Kristin is outstanding! She came highly recommended by my supervisor who had used her for a family matter. After firing my previous attorney who emptied my pockets and didn’t fight for me, I hired Kristin. I wish I would’ve found her sooner. Kristin is sweet, kind, smart and represents your best inte...rest. When given a game plan, she puts things together and makes things happen. In the end, I made out better than expected, fair and reasonable for both sides.

I first met Kristin when my lawyer went on leave and she was assigned to my case. Kristen is very professional, easy to talk to, calls/write me back when I have a concern, and is fully vested in my case. She is extremely knowledgeable about her field and I have to say the same about figures too. K...risten is such a pleasure to work with because I know she is fighting for me. I had the pleasure of observing her in court as she lobbied for me. Kristen was totally prepared for her day in court unlike the other party. I spend hours doing a lot of research about cases similar to mine just to be prepared, but Kristen shows me that wasn't even necessary - she has me covered plus more. Sometimes, I'll remember something I want to say to her at midnight, and to my surprise she responds - at might!! I feel confident that when my case is finalized that I will be satisfied with the outcome because Kristen is my lawyer. I will recommend her in a heartbeat!

I first met Kristen at a Divorce seminar. I remember driving to the seminar and being very nervous and upset because after 23 years of marriage I couldn't believe this was happening to me. The minute I walked into the conference room my eyes automatically went to Kristen because she was the only fe...male attorney in the group. Each attorney got up and spoke about the procedures of divorce and different reasons why we choose to file. Kristen spoke about Domestic violence. Because I was a victim of domestic violence and mental abuse I knew Kristen was the one I needed to sit down and talk to. I walked up to Kristen at the end of the seminar and made an appointment to meet with her, she was very warm and welcoming, she did not make me feel intimidated at all. I myself work with attorneys, so I know how they can come across at times. Kristen was very understanding and made me feel very confident and safe during the whole process. Whenever I needed her she got back to me or emailed me right away. She went above and beyond as far as I am concerned becasue my x husband was very difficult to deal with and lived in another state. After 23 years of marriage he was trying to fight me for everything, child support costs and he also quit his job so he didnt have to pay me child support. Kristen kept me very calm and I felt confident that she was going to fight for me and my boys. I was very impressed how everything was filed so quickly and moving very quickly. I would of been divorced 3 months earlier but my X was dragging his feet. My X husband at first was representing himself and then I believe after seeing how professional and aggressive Kristen was he made the wise choice of hiring an attorney. I would also like to mention how impressed I was with Kristen's Legal Assistant and staff. Whenver I called the office and Kristen was not available, the staff was always very helpful and professional. Kristen has received two referrals from me. Kristen is an excellent attorney.

Kristin represented me after I obtained my Final Restraining Order against my now ex-husband. My ex-husband thought he could bully me and Ms. Capalbo and was extremely litigious. In the end, thank to Ms. Capalbo's hard work and dedication to my case, my ex-husband has no choice but to pay me the al...imony and child support my two children and I deserve because it gets garnished from his pay. I'm now happy and can continue and look forward to a better life. Ms. Capalbo truly help change my life around and I would recommend her to anyone. In my experience you will not find a more dedicated and knowledgable attorney who truly cares for her clients.
