Kristi A. Estrada

We hired Kristi to handle our joint bankruptcy (Chapter 7) filing. She knows the law and how things really work in the world. She gave us very practical advice and anticipated issues we had no idea about. She was not shy about telling us uncomfortable truths we needed to hear, and she had the empathy... to put us at ease enough to talk candidly about the train wreck our finances had become. Kristi meets her prospective clients at what often must be a low point in their lives. It was for us. She really is there to help make things start getting better soon. We met with Kristi after unemployment and underemployment had worn us down emotionally and she provided exactly the kind (and, importantly, disinterested) ear we needed to tell our troubles to. She kept us focussed on the relevant facts without coming across as dismissive. When it comes time to act, she does not mess around. She helped us choose a date to file that met our needs. When we got her the necessary documentation and information, she had our petition ready for signature within two days. She gets the job done quickly with no drama. If you call Kristi you won't have to worry about trade-offs like, "He's a really good attorney, but what a jerk," or "He's a nice guy, but I think he naps a lot." She's smart, competent, sweet and hard working. 'Nuff said.
