Review Kristen Lonergan

Heartfelt, Determined, Extremely Intelligent, Excellent Communication, Thorough, Easy to Work With

Posted by

Attorney Kristen Lonergan is by far the best representation I have ever received from any attorney. She went above and beyond in so many aspects while representing me, which shows me just how much she truly cares about her clients. I would definitely suggest Attorney Lonergan to anyone looking for top-notch representation.
