    Review Kristina Feher

    good attorney

    Posted by

    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.

    Exceeded expectations

    Posted by

    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.

    Hired attorney

    a lawyer who is willing to talk through the steps and is very confident in herself.

    Posted by

    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

    Posted by

    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!

    Posted by

    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.

    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

    Posted by

    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!
    Kristina Feher's response: 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.
