Direct, reflective, responsive, no-nonsense

Kristin provided me with what I needed during my divorce - prompt action when it was needed to advance my needs, including all of the steps along the way for my unique circumstances. Kristin was great at understanding my needs and was responsive to them, working to handle the items I needed handled ...as I needed. I never had to communicate with anyone else other than Kristin, so I always had a direct line to her - via phone, text, and e-mail. That was my favorite aspect of working with her. She kept it simple and direct and reflective of my communication style along the way, too. I recommend Kristin if you're looking for "no-nonsense" handling of a divorce. Thank you, Kristin!

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.
