Kristen is the best

I hired Kristen for my divorce 17 years ago and she was professional and kind more than a lawyer a support system. I continued to use her through out the years to handle custody and child support. even when she left the group and moved out of my county I still would only hire her to handle what was b...est for my family. She was wonderful in traveling the distance when it was time for my husband to finally be able to adopt his stepchildren. What a bitter sweet ending to a long journey and I wouldn't have wanted to do it with anyone else.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
