Kristi possesses integrity, provides assurance, and communicates excellent legal advice and options.

I located Kristi based upon her excellent reviews on Avvo and the recommendation of another lawyer. Words cannot explain speaking with Kristi over the phone regarding my debt situation with a collection agency and sitting with her in person. From our initial contact over the phone, Kristi listened wi...th patience, was very understanding, and provided clarity in how she could assist me with my state of affairs. Upon meeting Kristi in her office and providing her the documentation she needed to assist me with my debt, I acquired an attorney who was ATTENTIVE and provided excellent advice in getting my debt affairs on a positive path. Kristi began assisting me the day I met her in her office by contacting the debt collector and informing them to cease contact with me because she was representing me in my state of affairs. Kristi placed me at ease in not having to attend court in which the debt collector was suing me. Through Kristi's excellent work, I received an agreeable debt settlement. If you want an attorney who provides reassurance through their demeanor, exudes professionalism, confidence, and listens, my highest recommendation is Kristi Estrada. Kristi took stress away from me that I was no longer capable of handling myself. There are many choices we can make in life when trying to put our financial affairs on the right path. There are also decisions we can make in how to manage those financial affairs. Before deciding to ignore a debt, I suggest everyone seek the advice of an attorney who is familiar with the laws and can better explain what is going on with your financial situation, which is what Kristi Estrada did for me. Thank You Kristi.

A Lawyer With Heart

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.

Efficiency and Kindness

A sudden, unfortunate turn of events in my life caused bankruptcy to be my best option for surviving the financial devastation. Although I realized the truth of this, the idea of filing filled me with confusion, fear, anger and shame. My experience with Kristi as my bankruptcy attorney was very posit...ive. She is personable and compassionate as well as knowledgeable and professional. As early as the initial consultation I left feeling a huge weight lifted and could view my situation much more clearly. Her excellent advice and reassuring manner combined with her straightforward answers to my questions did much to dispel my confusion. I was impressed by how promptly she returned my calls and the efficiency with which she handled my bankruptcy case.

"Kristi Estrada's Kalamazoo law office is next to mine. I hope that I'll never need the assistance of a bankruptcy attorney but if I did she would be the first attorney I would talk to. Likewise, I would refer a friend or a client without hesitation. I endorse this lawyer."
