Krista handled my case is a timely and professional manner. She always returned my phone calls/emails and went above and beyond the call of duty. I trust her advice implicitly, based on her education and extensive experience. There is not anyone else I would choose to represent me.
Krista is a very Talented and well rounded attorney. I've used several attorney's in the past and i feel that she is much easier to talk and work with. She far exceeded my expectations and i would highly recommend her.
Krista Mahalak is a board certified family law and general litigation trial lawyer who has been practicing for 15 years and places excellent communication with her clients as a top priority. Having tried over 100 cases to a jury, Krista is comfortable in a courtroom. Krista also feels strongly that because of the potential emotional and financial toll of prolonged litigation, a successful mediation may often be a better alternative to a trial.

Great Communicator
Krista listens carefully to client questions and concerns and responds quickly and clearly with advice and direction. Krista made me feel very comfortable and kept me informed about my case every step of the way. I would be happy to refer my family, friends and even strangers to her and I'm sure they will be happy with her legal expertise.

Family Attorney | Jan 02
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
"I highly endorse Krista Mahalak as a superb family law attorney. We were opposing counsel on a post judgment family law matter, and her professionalism, knowledge of the law and dedication to her client was second to none."
"I endorse this lawyer for family law, personal injury/wrongful death, and general civil litigation. We have worked together on medical malpractice matters and, of all things, a patent infringement matter. Krista is tenacious and not the least bit intimidated by any opponent, yet she retains an empathy for her clients that serves them (and her) well."

"I endorse this lawyer. Krista came to Polk County with great trial experience as a prosecutor. Krista quickly found herself at one of Polk County's most prestigious law firms. Krista always has a smile on her face and walks in the door loaded for bear. Don't let her smile fool you, she is a very competent lawyer and a blessing to her clients."
