Best Family Lawyer in Delaware County!

Kristen worked on a custody case with our granddaughter and was very professional and informative by helping us understand the legal system. She stayed in contact regularly with updates and was always available for questions without making us feel like we were an inconvenience. Always kept our grand...daughter as the most important thing in the process. We will be forever grateful for her guidance and support during a very difficult period in our family. Everything has turned out well but during the crisis, Kristen was there for us!

Guardianship

We hired Mrs Rushing to help us get Guardianship of our Autistic, non verbal daughter when she turned 18. Mrs Rushing was extremely prepared for our court date. Everything went as planned and really helped ease our nerves. Thank you Mrs Rushing from the bottom of our hearts.

The BEST !!!

I hired Kristen in 2008 when I filed for divorce. She led the fight in the complicated mess that I was involved in due to multiple businesses and real estate holdings that my X and I had acquired. Kristen was extremely well prepared at every turn of the case, always ready with answers for the opposit...ion and/or the court. Her skill set include but not limited to determination, perseverance, brilliance, communication, patience (except when opposing counsel is an idiot), frugality (always trying to save me money in billable hours) and most importantly to me ...she was passionate about the case! She wanted me to have the best outcome possible and to that end, SHE DID!! The settlement was more than I could have ever wished for. I got to keep my businesses and my real estate which allowed me to support my children. There are no winners in divorce but Kristen mitigated my losses better than I expected. I want to thank her and her staff for a job well done! Mike

Thank You Kristen

Kristen was referred to us by a friend and we have hired her for custody and child support cases. She is very knowledgeable and aggressive. She is very honest and trustworthy...She will share with you her knowledge and strategies on how to proceed at the hearings. If you are in need of a loving, c...aring person, we highly recommend her to you before you end up with some blood suckers that will charge you more, and take your children away from you. We are deeply Thankful to you for everything..My children knows the truth and that's all what matters to us now! Please keep up the good work Kristen. Your name will grow high and so is your clients.

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.
