Kristin did a great job, was very professional, and completed the paperwork as I needed.

Professional and compassionate

Process was very easy with Kristin. She answered all questions thoroughly and was always available for a phone call, text, or email. Very responsive and let me know where we stood in the process. Also she's compassionate given circumstances of needing services. Highly recommend

Kristin Padowitz

Kristin Padowitz was very pleasant to work with. On our first phone call to inquire about her services, she answered the phone! It took a minute to realize we were talking to the actual attorney. She answered all our questions, even took multiple phone calls from us. She was knowledgeable and helpf...ul in heading us along a difficult path. She responded to us by phone calls or texts quickly. We were very pleased by her help and we had a positive outcome!

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 !

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.
