Very helpful!

I hired Kristin to help me with my divorce and I’m so glad that I did!! Kristin helped me understand the divorce process and was always able to answer my questions and alleviate my concerns. At times, going through a divorce can be difficult and stressful but having someone on your side every step of... the way is so very important. Kristin will always have your best interest in mind. I am so happy that I had Kristin on my team because I knew I was in good hands and felt at ease through the entire process. She is highly knowledgeable and trustworthy and I would highly recommend Kristin to guide you through your divorce.

Absolute BEST

Kristin is the absolute best! She gives excellent, sound advice and will never steer you wrong. She is very knowledgeable, professional, understanding, and cares about YOUR needs. She is very straightforward- which is not at all a bad thing! I would 100% recommend her to anyone.

Absolute Worst

Imagine the WORST teacher you ever had and then times that by 1000. Kristen likes to talk a lot and sh will bill you a lot for every word. She is focused on taking any task and complicating every detail in an effort to over bill you. What should be a simple email will turn into an essay and/or wil...l create 10 more emails to charge 3 times more than any other attorney should or would. She will make constant mistakes that you will need to point out to correct as she thanks you AND bills you for it. She is beyond long winded —At the court house she is referred to as White Noise. I would highly discourage anyone from hiring her and hope the person you are divorcing hires her instead.

The Worst!!

I was completely dissatisfied with Kristen Lis. I feel that she was over priced and lost some very important documents that I needed..

Dissatisfied

Overcharged and did the same thing over and over and charged for each time and every little thing If it took a second to hand over a piece of paper you were charged 15 mins minimum No way to dispute charges. You have no say. Nickel and dimes you

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.
