Amazing attorney

We hired Kristin for our case and we could not be more satisfied. From the first consultation and throughout our entire case, we were thrilled with our decision to retain her. She isn't the type that is going to sit back and tell you what you want to hear. On the other hand, she was not one of tho...se attorneys from big firms that sit back and wait to settle every case. She was engaged and demanding, but also a compassionate listener when things got emotional (which they almost always will in this type of law). I would absolutely recommend Kristin if you require representation in a family law matter. She listened to our needs, patiently and professionally. She was always available to us and if she wasn't, her paralegal was (who was also fantastic). There are plenty of attorneys in Tallahassee and if you don't care about the outcome of your case....perhaps choose one of them. However, if you care deeply about the outcome of your case, call Kristin Adamson.

Great Attorney

I used Kristin for my divorce and have used her since to modify my agreement a few times. She was professional and very easy to work with. I'd absolutely recommend her.

Much better than the "5 star" bottom-feeders

Numerous legal professionals have described my case as "particularly difficult". I made some well-intentioned(!), but very legally imprudent, decisions *before* hiring Ms. Adamson. With her compassion and legal competence we eventually brought the case back around to a very reasonable outcome given t...he circumstances. There are other lawyers on this site who have very high ratings by virtue, let's be honest, of having sold their soul to the devil---sure they'll act as your personal "vicious bulldog", but if your ex-spouse had been the highest bidder they would have been MORE THAN HAPPY to be his/her legal-services-whᴑre instead. By contrast Ms. Adamson is "straight up". Yes, she'll certainly fight for you when it is warranted, but she'll also point you in the right direction if/when YOU become the vengeful spouse going beyond what is genuinely, legally, Constitutionally warranted for the best interest of your children and your case. With all candor, if you are a poisonous personality who wishes your ex-spouse dead just because you feel hurt, you'll want to consider one of those nasty lawyers that come highly recommended by other bitter, spiteful clients. If however you are decent and reasonable human being who is in a regrettable situation but wants to reject BS from entering in from *either* side, then stop searching and hire Ms. Adamson today. Not to mention the fact that she is one of only a handful (about 8) *board-certified* lawyers for Marital and Family Law in Leon County.

I retained Kristin to manage a challenging child custody issue. Kristin was honest, forthright, empathetic, ethical and very well versed in family law. Her office staff was responsive and extremely professional. Kristin proved time and again to be engaged, on time and always a step a head in the ca...se. She is truly an advocate for children and Tallahassee's best family law attorney.

Very responsive and helpful during and after divorce case

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.

  • 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.
