Highly recommended - Experienced, Professional, Knowledgeable, and Compassionate Representation

I worked with Kristin on a number of divorce / child support matters, She is a great listener that can turn my rambling conversations and needs into positive outcomes. Kristin provided outstanding legal guidance as well as ensuring that my legal costs were efficiently managed throughout the process. ...She provided me with options and helped me make informed decisions. She was also very responsive whether trying to reach her by phone or email. She helped me think through various aspects of my case that I had not thought of. Throughout the process I felt very comfortable with her handling my case. I pass her name along to anyone that may need her services.

Bitter Custody Battle

Kristin was my 3rd and final lawyer used in my divorce process that took over 2 years with child custody issues. We spent 3 days in trial. Kristin was calm, respectable and caring with regards to myself and my children. At times I was angry and wanted to lash out, Kristin took the time to explain ...the pros and cons of my emotions and what it would mean to my case. She did not fill my head with unrealistic ideals that I would pull off a lop sided victory nor did she say it was not possible but rather was very realistic and truthful about my situation. I always heeded her advice and at the end of my trial when the decision by the judge was made I ended up with what we had expected the decision to be (50/50) which was better than I currently had. She made sure that I left my feelings at the courtroom door which is necessary when dealing with the brutal battle that was ensuing. After it was all said and done I still had some court battles that he was taking me into but I was able to consult with Kristin regarding those matters and get them resoled. In the end I came out a happier and better person. I highly recommend Kristin and although I will never put myself in that situation again I would not hesitate to call her again. My family and friends all agree that Kristin was my best option and we are ALL truly grateful for what she was able to do for me and my children.

Very Helpful

As someone who's never been involved with anything court related, Kristin was a great help. She explained every step of the process to me, sometimes several times. My case was able to be resolved in mediation instead of having to go to court. I am very thankful she was there to walk me through such a... difficult time.
