Client

I hired this firm many years ago. worse decision I ever made. Her services were sub-par if that. Other people may have had a better outcome with her, but my experience was nothing short of terrible. Save your money.

Replied last February 23, 2025

I am very sorry to hear that your experience with our firm was not to your liking. Since you said it was many years ago, I am not able to review our records to try to ascertain what might have gone awry. Also, I'm not sure what I can do now to fix any problems, but if you wish to send me an email at [email protected], I will be more than happy to look into the situation.

Multiple corporate issues

Kristina has demonstrated strong competence, professionalism and responsiveness to several legal issues that have arisen within my organization. She is highly approachable and very pragmatic - she asks the right questions and offers a level of candor I've found lacking in other firms. She's busy an...d you may need to wait for an appointment - but the delay is for all the right reasons.

Family lawyer | May 02

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have reviewed many of Ms. Beavers's Avvo contributions and spoken with her enough to know that she is an excellent Family Law attorney with extensive experience in Divorce & Custody matters. Her Family Law wisdom is bolstered by her practice in other areas of law such as business law, criminal defense, and elder law. Notably, Ms. Beavers cares about and actively listens to her clients (as well as her adversaries) to understand their interests and provide a high-quality, catered approach to the situation. I encourage prospective clients in the Tidewater region of Virginia to consult with Ms. Beavers regarding their legal issues---especially Family Law matters."

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.
