Not a military divorce legal expert

When splitting up my assets, my uniformed service TSP account paperwork frommthe court order not only had errors on it that the TSP rejected and sent back that needed correction. Additionally, my lawyers did not put in the language in the court order submitted to keep the combat zone tax exempt porti...on of my Uniformed services TSP from all of my deployments, from being distributed to my ex-spouse who ended up receiving over $30k of my tax exempt combat zone contributions and earnings because the court order did not specify otherwise to the TSP. Going into the mediation the plan was not to pay alimony ontop of my military pension per the law, and were going to request a court ordered educational assessment of my ex-spouse who had a masters degree and is in perfect health to get a job to support herself instead of living off of welfare from me. However, under duress from the situation and over 6 hours of mediation, the lawyers and mediator met in a seperate room and came back recommending to me to sign the mediation agreement to pay alimony for 6 years ontop of my pension, give up all my savings, give up my investments, pay for a life insurance policy incase i did not live long enough for my ex-spouse to collect payment in full, all instead of going forward to court with the ordered educational assessment. The lawyer was concerned about the judge (fusion) would make me pay the maximum amount of alimony, and their recommendation sounded like they did not want to pursue court, and just end it at mediation because now all of a sudden i would not win in court, but it felt like they just wanted to bill me and get paid. Reluctantly signed the mediation and have regretted it ever since. Lesson learned, I recommend going with a male only lawfirm (in law we trust) who will fight for the rights of the man. I wish I could sew them for misrepresentation. Gentlemen, please head my advice.

Amazing Military Divorce Expert

I pushed my client to hire Kristin Kirkner as an expert witness in a military divorce case. He asked me, if you're such a great lawyer, why do we need Kristin? After winning the hearing on all issues, he told me that I was a great lawyer because I knew to hire Kristin. I think that says it all. S...he is amazing.

Worst attorney ever

We hired this lawyer for my daughter to get a divorce from her narcissistic husband. My daughter had to do all the leg work to get paperwork together. Every time she would text her a question it cost over $300. Even though it only took a second to answer the question. When it was time for her hearing... she didn’t even bother to show up at court. She sent someone who had no idea what was going on with the case. In court the new lawyer allowed my daughters husband to talk all he wanted. Every time my daughter tried to speak she was told it was hearsay. But this guy could tell all the lies he wanted to. And after spending over 5 grand my daughter still isn’t divorced. What did we pay her for????

Kirkner review

Ms Kirkner did a phenomenal job keeping up the reputation of her profession. She said it would be easy for me to get full custody of my children, she said she would get you ex psychologically evaluated. Want would up happening is that I was the one who had to get to psychologically evaluated and I ...lost time with my children....not to mentioned it cost me over ten thousands of dollars in the process.

Thankful

I would recommend Kristin K to anyone! I'm very thankful for her. She has helped me tremendously with all my cases over the years and now (divorce, domestic violence, full custody, child support) and has stood by my side the whole way through. The office staff is very nice and helpful too. Kristin's... secretary always kept me informed of my cases and answered my questions in the same business day.
