Kristin Adamson-Landau

Kristin handled my divorce well and we were able to settle through arbitration due to her efforts. I actually came out better than I thought I would as my ex-to-be went after the house that she had put nothing into and did not get it. When my ex did not have her lawyer follow through on the filing... (monies were allowed to her in the settlement), Kristin took care of it for me so I could move on. I understand that some people do not get what they want in court, but that is often due to the facts of the case or the disposition of the judge. I have seen it too often with friends and family. Since the divorce I have sought follow up advice and in once case was looking for a good family law attorney in another state for my son and Kristin responded by advising me as to how to search for a good firm. As a member of another licensed profession, I consider Kristin professional and competent as any attorney I have ever worked with.

The other reviewer said it perfectly, "she just went with the flow". Papers were lost, and I feel like I hired her to process my paperwork rather than advise me because she didn't. she told me one thing and at mediation I found out it wasn't true which negatively affected my case. If I had known befo...re I could have provided supporting documents. She just phoned it in with my divorce. She was pleasant but that wasn't what I needed. I would have preferred she did a good job.

In 2004 I retained Kristin to help with establishing a parenting schedule for my daughter. My uncle, a law professor at FSU and highly regarded mediator, highly recommended Kristin. In 2009 when the cards seemed to be stacked against me, Kristin was instrumental with helping my daughter attend the ...schools that I recommended to the court. Without Kristin, I'm very confident the hearing would not have had the same result. Furthermore, in 2010 we attended mediation to re-establish the parenting schedule and, once again, Kristin was incredible with the outcome where our daughter was provided equal parenting time between her parents along with several other issues that were resolved to our daughter's best interest. In knowing many attorneys in the Tallahassee area, I've found through the years that Kristin is highly regarded in the family law arena.

I hired Kristin to help me with a child custody issue and while the result of the case was not horrible it was not desirable and the entire process with her was a nightmare. She never responded to attempts to communicate and was late to meetings and would walk in minutes before a hearing not giving m...e any counsel or advice to prepare for what was coming.
