Kristopher began his legal career in 2005 with the law firm of Lowndes, Drosdick, Doster, Kantor & Reed, P.A. After almost 10 years with the Lowndes firm, Kristopher opened Kest Family Law, P.A., and now focuses his practice solely on family law.

Wanting to give back to the legal profession, Kristopher is a member of the Executive Council of the Orange County Bar Association, and has founded two mentoring programs through the OCBA.
Also active in the community at large, Kristopher has served on the Community Advisory Board for WMFE 90.7 FM, on the board for the Winter Park Public Library, and on the Orlando Health Foundation’s “One Night” committee raising funds and awareness for the Level One Trauma Center.

A recommendation that I am grateful I got
I did not realize what amount of work a divorce consisted of. Mr Kest and his helpful associates were with and beside me the entire ordeal. Their professional and caring work was so helpful, that I could never be more grateful for what they did for me. Thank you so much Kristopher!!!
