I would recommend Kristin Rea Padowitz

I recently needed a family attorney for my daughter and found Kristin Padowitz who has excellent credentials, an expert who specialize in divorce and child support among other that pertain to family matters, Kristin guided our entire family and devoted her time that made us feel like we were her top ...priority throughout the process, but more importantly she was fair, very compassionate, detailed and made sure that we had a solid plan to overcome this unfortunate incident. I’m not sure if I could ever repay Kristin enough, for she brought a calmness to our entire family. I hope no one else has to go through a divorce and the issues that surrounds it, but if you are in this situation, I would recommend Kristin... “She gets things done, knows the law and has a Heart of Gold”. Thank you so much Kristin

Divorce Representation

I can't say enough about Kristin and her office. She is an A+ in professionalism and the way she truly made me feel like family was overwhelming! I was a wreck trying to find someone local to represent me and I could not have been more blessed to have found her. I felt completely at ease after our ...first conversation. She PERSONALLY took each call, email, and text and if she couldn't respond right away, she let me know when I WOULD hear back. My ex tried to cause more strife along the way but Kristin stood firm and represented me in such a way that I am forever grateful for her support! I wasn't just a client. Her compassion and empathy for what I was going through won't be forgotten but when she needed to be tough, she was the one I wanted in my corner. She is BAR NONE the best in her field and gets 5 stars from this thankful gal! Could not have done it without her! P.S. Her assistant is an absolute pleasure to work with, as well !

Child custody

Kristin is amazing, compassionate and caring. We had a very challenging case and through it all, we won our case. She is very detailed and attentive in her work. I would highly recommend Kristin for your family law needs.

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.
