Fantastic lawyer

Kristen did a fantastic job on my divorce case, It was a very hard time for me and she helped me every step of the way, she was always there for me and even reassured me even when I felt like I was bothering her. I feel like we gained more of a personal friendship as the case went on, she made me fee...l comfortable in one of the hardest times in my life. I highly recommend her as a lawyer!!

Outstanding , knowledgable , and passionate

Kristen Quinton is without a doubt the best lawyer I have ever known. She truly cares for you and everyone in your family as they struggle with the uncertainty and stress that goes along with the legal issues you might face. She has always been a phone call or e- mail away...she LISTENS and returns y...our calls! In the court room- she is calm, quick and passionate. My life has changed because of her help....and I trust her completely. I know I have more legal battles to fight for the sake and happiness of my daughter...but I also know I will have the best along side me! Thank you Kristen.

MGCG 501 ( c ) 3

Outstanding guidance and representation helping our organization and Executive Board members through the process of obtaining our non-profit status. Kristen reviewed documents and records made available to her from the organization. With assistance from Board members, she either wrote or rewrote eac...h portion of the application to ensure clarity and compliance. She carefully researched federal requirements to ensure we were in complete compliance. Kristen kept us informed of the progress at each stage. She proactively monitored the submission and kept everyone informed on progress. It was only through Kristen's efforts that we were granted non-profit status.

The Lady that HONORS the Scales

Both times I needed an attorney, Kristen Quinton was there to advise and assist. She is very knowledgeable of the law and has understanding of the law and what needs to be done. If I had taken her full advise the first time, I would not have needed her the second time. Having had this experience ...with the law and the judicial system, I am grateful to have had her on my side. Without a doubt in my mind, the judicial system has a lot of flaws and is not across the board fair to all people. One person can't change the system, but she made sure I received the best judgement that was available.

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.
