Custody

Mr. Kristall won my custody case against my children's father. I would recommend him to any one. He do not play games. :-) :-)

Posted by Samantha | July 04, 2017 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

Most unprofessional and rudest attorney ever!!!

I hired him to help me get my child support adjusted. One year later I contacted him to get a copy of the order and he said I would have to pay him $100.00. So he knew I was sending someone to pay and receive the document but he left and was gone before my friend arrived! He was very rude and unprofe...ssional!!! I will never recommend him or use him again!

Mr. Kristall is an excellent lawyer

He took the time to hear my complaints and read what my ex said. He worked out a solution that even the judge said was good. And he didn't over charge.

IF YOU ARE IN NEED OF A PROFESSIONAL, KNOWLEDGEABLE ATTORNEY WHO WILL PROVIDE SUPERB CUSTOMER SERVICE I RECOMMEND WAYNE KRISTALL

Mr. Kristall WON a ten-day custody trial for me and my child. After years of abuse from the other party, i called on Mr. Kristall last minute and he was there for me and my child and did a phenomenal job! Mr. Kristall kept me informed at all times and although he was provoked as we were constantly ...personally viciously attacked by the others party and counsel, Mr. Kristall not only showed it but was the best adult role model I've ever met. I personally recommend Mr. Kristall to anyone looking for civil mature closure, and solutions to what is truly best for children that may feel stuck in the middle. He is kind, knowledgeable, professional, provides excellent customer service and the Only attorney I'd want by my side in a time a crisis.

Awful

Worst lawyer ever! Took my money and did nothing for me. Plus he gave consent to things in my custody case I never gave him permission to or knew about it! He was rude and unprofessional. I asked him to email me a document and he told me he didn't have time for that, altho I was paying him thousands ...of dollars. Do not hire this attorney unless you want to throw your money down the drain!
