Compassionate and Professional

Kristen was referred to me by another attorney and I am so glad I called. I needed to do an appeal for a long term disability insurance claim through my employer. She has been fantastic. I get regular updates and she takes time to explain in a way I can understand. I am so grateful for her and I high...ly recommend.

Great Lawyer with excellent knowledge and expertise

Kristen was great to work with, I highly recommend her she puts allot of effort into my case that drug on for a few years before My care was finally settled. If your looking for a hard working work comp attorney give her a call!

Excellent lawyer

Kristen consistently goes above and beyond for her clients. She communicated updates every step of the way. She provided exceptional feedback on all questions asked, and it is evident she has great passion for her work. Not only does her passion show through in her excellent case result, but her genu...ine concern for clients throughout the process was most memorable, I will gladly use her services again and will refer her to friends and family with out hesitation. She helped me and my family through a very stressful process .I highly recommend her.

Great Attorney

Kristen was great from the beginning. I went to her because I had gotten an unexpectedly large bill from a medical group for a work comp related injury. I was worried to file it as work comp for many reasons so I backed out of it in the beginning and tried to just have my insurance cover everything, ...but it didn't work out that way and all of the sudden I owed more money that I could imagine in doctor bills. On top of it the bill went to a debt collector, I was terrified that my life would be ruined due to my credit score being obliterated from the situation. Kristen took my case and helped me through the entire process. The case froze with the debt collector and my credit was never affected. She kept me updated on the process and told me what to expect throughout. She was also kind and comforting when I was scared. She ended up closing the case for me and It turned out better than what I was expecting. I am so grateful to Kristen for helping me through this terrible ordeal. Thank you Kristen!

Confident and Prepared

I was severely injured at work and my recovery has been well over a year. At one point doctors determined I needed a second surgery which the insurance company denied. Kristen fought for the surgery to be approved. She spent a great deal of time answering questions and preparing me so that I was com...fortable with giving my testimony. Her conduct in the courtroom was exemplary. She was prepared, confident, relentless and succeeded in winning my case. Kristen has stuck with me and my family every step of the way. Without their help, I would not have received the medical care I needed or compensation benefits I deserved. Her concern for my situation was genuine and she was transparent and respectful of my priorities. I would highly recommend her to everyone I know.
