Kristin assisted me through both a difficult divorce and Marital Agreement and the Final Judgement upon my retirement

When my wife asked for a divorce I hired Kristin as my attorney. Failing a mediation we engaged in a year long negotiation of a marital agreement. Key to the marital agreement was a clause which allowed the agreement to be reviewed and alimony and all further arrangements potentially termination up...on retirement. When I retired at age 66 we successfully negotiated a full termination of the marital agreement and all further obligations to my ex-spouse.

Tough, Knowledgeable, Supportive

Kristin was recommended to me by another attorney to handle my very complicated divorce. I had previously divorced my wife and then made the mistake of remarrying her. This raised questions about exactly how long we had been married at the time of the second divorce, which had huge implications for ...the property settlement. Suffice it to say that Kristin successfully argued that, as far as the second divorce was concerned, I had been married only for the duration of the second marriage, NOT the first AND the second. She also gave me excellent assessments of my legal rights as well as of my practical situation as a divorcing husband.

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.

Knowledgable, Professional, Accessable.

Kristin is a fair and honest attorney. That statement alone says so much. I have worked with Kristen over the past 10+ years as her client. She has always given me the fair honest truth about everything. She is exceptionally knowledgable in her field. I would highly 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.
