SHE IS THE BEST

I had the pleasure of Kristine representing me in the darkest time in my life. She made the entire divorce go very smooth. She was timely and compassionate during the whole process. I would recommend her at any time.

The reason I only have one lawyer that I turn to

I first met Kristine about 10 years ago through a google search for a custody case. I hadn't had much court room experience and was clueless where to turn. From that day forward, Kristine has handled every support, custody and divorce question, hearing and whatever else came along. Not only has she h...andled them, she succeeded every single matter with me winning or having the upper hand. I will never replace her and she has been a Godsent. She really has been a blessing in these matters when it was my world at hand; my child. I never even get nervous anymore, because I know the results will be positive.

Mercy!

I can appreciate giving a service like she does and charging for it but to drag the case on for years in a simple divorce. Constantly asked the court for an extension during discovery period. Constantly asked the judge for another court date because it was in conflict with other cases she was working... on. This caused undue hardship and additional legal fees. She would send me redundant notices and bill accordingly KNOWING DARN WELL I was already sent documents to sign, review or just shred. Took it upon herself to speak to apposition in a "chit chat" exposing material which I thought was confidential. Sure she preaches the law and is respected in that respect but puts a sense of her ego up front before me as a client. I am being vague in this as not to lash out. Your mileage may vary but I am quite sure there are better lawyers out there. If you hire her make it a with a TOTAL on it before you begin. She drained me mentally and financially. This is only a review which states my opinion. All I can say is "BEWARE".

I would highly recommend Kristine to anyone contemplating a divorce.

Kristine was outstanding in handling my divorce. She was knowledgeable and thorough, clearly advising me on the steps I needed to take to end a difficult marriage. Throughout the entire process, I felt confident in Kristine's ability to represent me, but, more importantly, I always felt that she rea...lly did care about what I was experiencing. She was consistently professional, but very kind and empathetic. It was a wonderful combination! My experience with her made a very difficult process more tolerable, and I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Great lawyer

Kristine handled my divorce perfectly. She explained everything to me, told me when I was being unrealistic and encouraged me to see everything through to the end. It always worked out just like she told me.
