Felt Heard, Respected, and Guided At Every Step

Kristina brought a lot of calm and clarity to a situation that could have easily gone off the rails. We were struggling with custody logistics and kept talking past each other. Kristina suggested a few practical options we hadn’t considered and helped us focus on what would actually work day to day, ...not just what felt “fair” in the moment. That shift made a real difference. I always felt heard and respected, and her guidance helped us avoid a much more expensive court process. I would recommend her to anyone considering mediation.

Amazing!!

After more than 20 years of marriage I knew I was in for a hard year, or longer ahead. From the moment I met Kristina I knew I was in good hands. Kristina made sure our communication was on point at all times. I always felt she had my back through it all. Kristina is sharp, smart, compassionate and ...I really felt she cared about the outcome. If you unfortunately have to go through a divorce, you want Kristina Kell by your side. Thank you Kristina!

Highly recommend!

This review has been a long time coming, the opposing party just wanted to drag things out. Kristina, worked extremely hard to have this case finished and come up with an extremely favorable outcome. Kristina was able to let the judge know that the opposing party was intentionally trying to dela...y and extend this case, but in the end I was very happy with the results. I was only hoping that we came out with a 50/50 verdict as what I would expect for divorce in CA. Kristina's hard work made it happen. I was fortunate to have found her as she knows how to deal with the unscrupulous attorneys. Also She has a great staff that really help, Kathy & Sylvia were incredible as well.

Simply the Best

Amazing is what I can say about Kristina. She is incredibly brilliant, finds things I didn't think of and can translate what i'm saying. Kristina listens and hears me and really cares. She is an excellent communicator and keeps me updated as soon as anything happens with my case. She provides the... answers prior to me even asking any questions. Kristina is simply the best and I'm fortunate to have her on my team!! Thank you Kristina.

Exactly what we needed!

Kristina is fantastic and did a great job on my Husband's custody case with regard to my step son. She's extremely honest, transparent and strategically builds a narrative around the areas of strength. We also felt that her pricing was fair which is hard to find in family law. Opposing counsel inunda...ted her with emails and rather than charging us for each response, she answered only the messages that really required a response. In court, we won in some areas, lost in others, none of which happened without a fight that left us feeling accomplished knowing we did all we could. I highly recommend Kristina as a Family Law Attorney and am grateful we found her.

  • 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.
