About Krista
Biography
As an Attorney at Petit & Dommershausen’s Oshkosh office I take cases in Fond du Lac, Winnebago, Green Lake, Waushara, Shawano, and Waupaca counties. I am a Milwaukee native (Wauwatosa) and spent several years in the biotech field before finishing my B.S. in Biology at UW-Oshkosh. I help clients in various areas of criminal defense including DUI, drugs, and domestics. I also take family law cases, juvenile defense, CHIPS/JIPS, and Chapter 51/55 commitments. Helping people and providing excellent client service have always been core motivators for me and continue to be my top priority.
I wrote on to Law Review at Mitchell Hamline School of Law, first as an Associate and then as a Contributing Editor. I also volunteered with Judicare in family law and as a Mock Trial scoring judge. I enjoy playing tennis, dancing, and spending time with my daughters and two cats.
