This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very competent and professional

Kristy knows her stuff with family law. Sets realistic expectations based on her experience and will also fight for what you want. She has experience litigating which is a must if you think you may go to trial. I believe her experience and reputation in the court system is what caused the other, very... experienced but much more bombastic, attorney to settle at the 11th hour and I got what I was told my ex would “never” agree to. Worth every penny.

Would never recommend Kristy

Check out the clientele Kristy represents Violent Abusers, Domestic Violence abusers and Child abusers. No way would I recommend her

Shannon s

Severely incompetent.. couldn't even tell me how to obtain my child support, took me over a year to find out how.. all that money wasted on a lawyer who doesn't even know her practice.

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.
