Amazing and caring

Kristin is the most caring individual and will be able to help whatever you need her to help with. I had a difficult case and she was there every step of the way, I felt informed and was able to trust her with my baby’s fate. Emergency situations came up and she was so supportive and helped me so muc...h. It’s hard to find a good attorney (I interviewed 5 before I found her) so stop looking now and just call Ms. Padowitz!

If you don't hire Kristin Padowitz, then you are not getting the best!

We needed Ms. Padowitz for an emergency child custody/timeshare case. After interviewing other family lawyers, what helped us select Kristin of course her many years of experience but also, it was her answering questions personally versus going through assistants or other attorneys. She always picks ...up her own phone. After hiring Kristin, it was evident she had decades of high level experience and would not leave any stone unturned. When you are going through something so difficult you NEED to feel secure that your lawyer has your back. We totally felt this during 2 very stressful years of going through this. She honestly cares and showed compassion the entire time and worked relentlessly to make sure the outcomes were in our favor. She also demonstrated great patience by allowed my wife to be part of everything and never frowned upon the very long checklist my wife had throughout the trail. We feel indebted to Kristin for helping me get custody of my child in a situation that felt impossible. We love Kristin, she is family and we are forever grateful with how she helped us be a family once again. If you are looking for the best results in difficult and sometimes unfair court system, Ms. Padowitz is the right professional to fight for your case and help guide you along the way. Thank you everyone in the Law Office of Kristin Padowitz, P.A.!! Small team but mighty!

Heaven Sent!

First and foremost I had the good fortune of being represented by Kristin and it is with great enthusiasm that I pen this review. It's not often that you encounter such a blend of professionalism and dedication in the legal field but Kristin embodies these traits and more. From the moment I first w...alked into her office I was met with a level of attentiveness that immediately put my anxieties at ease. Kristin literally took the time to break down the complexities of my case explaining every step of the process in a way that was both comprehensible and reassuring. What honestly sets Kristin apart is not just her profound understanding of the law but her unwavering commitment to her clients. Throughout the duration of my case Kristin and her team remained consistent in their communication keeping me updated on any developments and answering all my questions with patience and clarity. Kristins passion integrity and dedication are a testament to what it truly means to be a lawyer. To anyone seeking legal representation I cannot recommend Kristin highly enough! Her exceptional service goes beyond the call of duty and her results speak for herself. In Kristin you will find not just a lawyer but a champion for your cause. Trust me with Kristin on your side you are in the best of hands. Thank you so much Kristin and your law firm for your unwavering dedication and for fighting my corner when it mattered most. Your exceptional performance has left an indelible mark and it is with the utmost gratitude and respect that I leave this review.

Best Lawyer!

Words fall short when describing how grateful I am to Kristin. From answering my calls , to giving me advice and holding my hand through a very stressful process, Kristin was amazing. She always made sure to walk me through the process and explained everything in detail. She was not only my lawyer, b...ut I also joked with her that she was my therapist. You won't find another sweet, kind, honest and shark like Kristin.

Trusted Attorney and Partner

Kristin is an outstanding attorney who really came through for me on my divorce. More so than just being an attorney, I really felt as if she was a partner. Divorce is stressful and full of unknowns, not to mention nasty tactics from the opposition. Kristin was consistently a calming influence on ...me who I could trust to effectively manage my interests. I am very grateful she was on my side.
