Sees deep into the issues

Kristin has a keen insight and attention for detail mixed with practical application that assisted me in preparation. She balances this with empathy, telling it like it is in a way that understands the emotional elements involved.

Down to earth attorney

I was exceptionally lucky and pleased to be referred to Kristin. She is very smart about marital law but doesn’t come across that she is above you intellectually she listens to everything and communicates her thoughts on a level her client can understand . She also will explain what avenue she thinks... is best for you to take but will pursue whatever avenue you want and what issues might arise. Highly recommend her as your legal counsel.

Most difficult time- made a little easier with Kristin's guidance!

Kristin did an amazing job handling my divorce. I had already had a poor experience with another divorce lawyer so after getting a recommendation from someone I trust, I decided to hire Kristin's firm to help me through the most difficult time of my life. There was nothing that Kristin wasn't willi...ng to do. She walked me through everything step by step and made an already difficult situation as easy as possible. I know that this whole process could have been dragged out but she got me to the finish line with as much minimal stress as possible. I would recommend her highly!

Absolutely amazing

Kristin helped me not only have the best outcome in my divorce but to see how capable I am as a person and as a single mom. She helped me stay focused on what is important and I loved how I could literally give her all the messy parts of my divorce and never worry about a thing. Going through divorce... is hard but knowing I had Kristin by my side to help me was the best part for me. I was able to get my life where I wanted it to be because of hiring her. Today, I am just grateful for the path I took and the way she helped me along the way. I always highly recommend Kristin!!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
