I needed a attorney for bankruptcy and was refered to Kristina by a friend. I called her and set up an appointment. Upon meeting her, I liked her instantly. Her fee was reasonably and I retained her as my attorney. She scheduled appointments for my convenience, kept me advised on what was happening, told me what I needed to do and when to do it. The whole experience made me feel like I was dealing with a friend instead of an attorney. If you want an attorney thats “got your back” then choose Kristina. You won't be sorry you did.
I found Kristina right here on Avvo after meeting with three other attorneys in St. Petersburg regarding my divorce. From the outset, her calm and accessible nature put me at easy and made what can be a stressful and intimidating process less so . I am so glad I found her and would recommend her to anyone needing legal assistance.
My experience and practice in this area covers Chapter 7 “fresh starts”. Chapter 7 bankruptcies allow an individual to discharge of most types of debt and get a "fresh start" on their finances. I advise clients on the protection of their assets and what issues may arise during the course of the bankruptcy.
My experience and practice in this area includes filing for or defending clients during divorce proceedings. I advise clients regarding property distribution, what will be considered martial assets, and other sensitive areas of concern. I also draft, edit, and/or review prenuptial agreements.
My experience and practice in this area covers Chapter 13 “reorganizations”. Chapter 13 bankruptcies require an individual to pay back a portion of their debt, while giving the individual an extended period of time to reorganize their finances. I advise clients on how to reorganize the debt and what steps need to be taken to carry out the plan of reorganization.
My experience and practice in this area covers Chapter 11 Small Business reorganizations. A small business may file for bankruptcy and reorganize their debt over an extended period of time. I advise clients on how to reorganize the debt and what steps need to be taken to carry out the plan of reorganization.

a lawyer who is willing to talk through the steps and is very confident in herself.
I talked with Kristina over the phone first. Then we met at a mutual spot, didnt have to go to her office like every other lawyer, even offered to buy me a bite to eat or a beverage to make things feel more at ease. (you dont get this kind of treatment from lawyers these days) Felt very comfortable talking with her about what to expect and what would need to be done to achieve my goal. She was very knowledgeable and confident when talking about the case at hand. She made me feel at ease with the process. Seeing how I had to spend money that was from selling my dream truck I was definitely looking for confidence and she has everything I was looking for.

Thorough in explaination
Kristina helped us through the entire bankruptcy process with ease. She was able to answer my questions with no hesitation. Whenever we met, she took as much time as we needed to address our questions or explain what the next step would be. I needed someone to "hold my hand" through the process and Kristina was there.

She's great!
The best thing about Kristina is she understood my situation and kept in constant contact with me. When you are going through a legal situation it can be very nerve racking and scary. Keeping me informed of what was going on was invaluable to me. I would highly recommend Kristina to all my family and friends. She resolved my situation and walked me through it. I am not the easiest client to deal with, and she hit a home run for me.

Review
For what I was looking for in a prenup and direction with application for a tourist visa, Kris went above and beyond. I would recommend her to anyone.

Will not return phone calls
I retained this law group which she is a member to help with my mortgage modification...I can't get them to answer the phone, or return my calls...they have taken my money and abandoned me!
Response from Kristina FeherDecember 26, 2013
I was disappointed that this client did not feel they received the type of client service I strive to achieve. I cannot also confirm that this client was a direct client of mine, but was a client of a firm I worked for 4 years ago.
Since opening my own firm in May 2010, I strive to stay in communication with my clients (via phone or email), keeping them apprised of what is going on in their case. I'm sorry I was not able to satisfy this client or meet their expectations.
