Ms. Padowitz is an awesome attorney! 5 stars

Ms.Padowitz provided great representation for my case. She responded to all my emails and calls when I had questions, provided all the information needed by the courts in a speedy fashion to move my case forward quickly and was present at all of my hearings.

Great experience

Kristin is a fantastic lawyer. I would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a family law attorney. When I was seeking an attorney, she was the first and only to answer her own phone and speak with me about my case directly. Most other offices made me feel like I was completing an interview. Kr...istin spoke to me like a person, listened to my concerns and was extremely warm and compassionate. She's passionate about what she does and gives realistic advice when guiding you through the process. As warm and down to earth as she is, she's also SHARP, and will advocate hard for her clients. Definitely someone you want in your corner!

Simply The Best!

I can’t say enough good things about my attorney. She is compassionate, responsive, and truly dedicated to her clients. She took the time to really listen to me, understood every detail of my case, and stood up for me on every single point. I always felt supported and heard. She guided me through eve...rything with professionalism and kindness, and I couldn’t have asked for a better advocate. A special thank you to her paralegal, Dania, who is absolutely amazing! She was always on top of everything, so helpful, and made the whole process much smoother. Together they make an incredible team. Highly recommend!

Avvo Rating

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.
