Kristina Badalian

Throughout a multi-year highly contentious family court litigation, attorney Kristina Badalian proved herself as strategic, insightful, proactive, passionate and committed to my family's wellbeing and the success of my case. Her expertise has been worth every penny, and I will be forever grateful. He...r service is concierge and every question, concern, and dilemma received her timely guidance and attention. The aspect that sets Kristina apart is that she is interested in the client and case on an emotional and personal level. She does not approach this as just a job; she becomes invested in the case and truly immerses herself in her work. She always makes herself available to her clients. She thought outside of the box, and subpoenaed evidence that completely turned the case around. She came to the courtroom completely prepared; she had three bankers boxes of exhibits, documents, and reference material. The other lawyer had one spiral bound notebook. She ran the case like a rehearsed dance and her closing statement was passionate, elegant, and persuasive. I am so grateful to have had Kristina through this process and I could not imagine a better lawyer.

Kristina has been my family attorney for over 10 years and I hold her in the highest regard. Professional, precise, organized, objective, clever and always prepared- Kristina and her team are genuine advocates. My case and what was in the best interest of my family became her mission. Available, hone...st, reliable and dedicated- I highly recommend Ms. Badalian.

I started working with Kristina after a pretty bad experience with Jessica Kern and Shelly McKeon from the McKeon Law Firm. During my first meeting with Kristina it was clear she works differently. Before we got into legal options, she took the time to really understand what happened during my marria...ge and what led to the divorce. Straight questions and an honest conversation to really understand the background. That allowed her to build a case and to give me a pretty good idea of what is going to happen at every step. There is no attorney that can guarantee results but Kristina was pretty good in laying out options and typical results so I can make an informed decision. I highly recommend her for anything from simple to more complicated cases. Quite a few lawyers will respond to your inquiries on time (not all) and so did Kristina. But more importantly there was substance to her communication. She come up with options and not just responded to my questions. She was very proactive in looking for alternative approaches and ways to close the case as soon as possible with the best outcome as possible. If you want more than just a lawyer that drafts papers, if you really want a lawyer that drives your case, you absolutely have to get Kristina. And don’t compare hourly rates. Kristina is very efficient and every time I looked at the bill, I could easily link the billed hours to some valuable input I got from her. From previously working with other attorneys, I can tell you that the total cost of the engagement was less and with significantly more results.

Kristina Badalian is a very smart, hard working young lawyer with great judgement and knowledge of the law. It has been a pleasure working with Kristina and her firm for the past 5 years. She and Carlos Lastra were a great team and did a wonderful job in representing, fighting and winning for me. K...ristina was always in contact with me updating me about what was going on at all times. She was excellent in advising me, preparing the necessary documents, taking depositions and cross examination of witnesses. She is very easy to deal with, very polite, yet very firm and cannot be pushed around by opposing council. I witnessed that in many occasions and was very impressed. She had this reassuring and calming effect on me. I think Kristina Badalian is on her way to being one of the best family law attorneys in the area, and I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a great lawyer.
