Posted by Ann Randall | February 03, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Appeals

Mother of six beautiful children

She was my lawyer for three and a half years. She was OK at first but then I noticed that very important motions were not being filed in a timely manner or being filed in general which hurt my case. I also wish she would have let me know about important information that I could have used instead of... having to do with the research myself. I also noticed that she is an appeals lawyer but then withdrew from my case before I had to go to the appeals court which only gave me two weeks to find a lawyer in the lawyer to review my case so I would be able to win that case. Unfortunately I lost even the appeals. She never ever mentioned to me that she does appeals as well, because I had to find out how to do my briefing file my motions on my own. I do know now what I didn't know before. I will take it as a learning experience. I must say a life-changing experience! I wish you the very best and I'm sure she will always remember me for the rest of your life as I will always remember her.

Amazing attorney!

Denise Kistner is an amazing attorney. She worked with me and helped me achieve my desired outcome. She was completely honest with me and was not afraid to tell something would not be feasible. She even tried to save me money.

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.
