Kristin did a fantastic job on my case! She helped me win custody of my daughter and has always been there to answer every question i have had both before and after my case. Kristin was very thorough and professional and i would highly recommend Kristin to anyone looking for an exeptional family law attorney
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.
Divorce, custody/parenting time, valuation and division of assets and debts, spousal maintenance, child support, Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDRO), immigration issues included in divorce (I-864 Affidavit of Support)
Representing clients in separate actions to establish child support or modify an existing child support order due to changes in income or other financial circumstances
Representing clients who are seeking an Order for Protection, or defending against an Order for Protection
I focus exclusively on family law matters, including divorces and custody/parenting time actions. I have 22 years of experience as an attorney, and have been practicing family law exclusively for the past 18 years. During that time, I have seen many changes in our family courts, particularly in the way family cases are handled by the Court system. In my practice, I use my years of experience and knowledge of the law to guide my clients towards the best possible outcome in their case. I believe in trying to make the process easier for my clients by explaining their legal rights and options, and providing them with an accurate portrayal of what might occur in their case if we proceed through the court system (litigation) or proceed through various settlement processes (mediation, early neutral evaluation, etc.). I would describe my "practice style" as trying to resolve cases amicably while being a strong advocate for my client and providing my client with knowledgeable advice about the legal process.Â
My practice areas include: complex contested divorces, uncontested divorces, establishment and modification of child custody, establishment and modification of child support, paternity, post-decree modifications of spousal maintenance, immigration issues involved in the divorce process (I-864 Affidavits of Support), preparation of Qualified Domestic Relations Orders (QDRO's), orders for protection (domestic abuse), harassment restraining orders, step-parent adoption, third-party custody actions, grandparent visitation, and preparation and review of prenuptial (antenuptial) agreements.

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.

A sad divorce made easy
I found Kristin Huston through this webpage. The moment I read her reviews I knew she would be the one to help me getting my divorce final. And the moment I met her I felt taken care of, for being in such an unfamiliar territory.
She listen, took notes and really heard me from the first moment on. She was up-front and competent in explaining me her role and the next steps we will take together. She used terminology I could understand and yet did not make me feel like I don't know what I am doing.
She accepted without any hesitation that I would provide all needed documentation pretty much finished with agreement upon both parties with little need of her help.
Once the process was underway and I did come across a dispute with the other party, she was right on my side with explanation of importance or not important aspects of our argument. I never had the feeling of being pushed to make a decision not based on my needs or for her income.
As the day of our court day came close, she walked me through every step on what would happen. And it all happened just as she said.
Her fees are not high rocket where I could not pay it, yet not to low where I would be afraid of getting bad advise. She charges in a very fair way and I always got very well documented statements of her service.
Most of all, even her staff knew me by my name and always knew right a way who I was.
The only regret I have is, that we meet under the circumstances we did. She was so personal to me and I envy every friend she has!
I would recommend Kristin Huston to everyone out there!

Renewed faith
Kristin is an exceptional attorney. She gave me realistic exceptions and timelines. She never played into emotion and was always focused on the matters at hand. I have dealt with plenty of lawyers in the past that have made me internally question if they had my best interest in hand or if they were simply working the clock, this was not the case with Kristin. Kristin was concise, personally invested, and honest about about what I could expect as outcomes to my case. During my hearing Kristin was well prepared, informed of the Judge and his office, and even showed up early.
I am not one to write reviews but I really can't say enough about how impressed I was with Kristin. She is a great attorney, with a good heart, and someone you can expect to give exceptional representation. Thank you Kristin.

For being my first experience with a lawyer, she did a terrific job and I am grateful for her help during this time. Thank you, Kristin!

Divorce needs a lawyer who understands the urgency and importance of a smooth process
From the consultation to the end of my case, Kirstin was open and accurate about timeline expectations, financial expectations and possible outcomes. My case went smoothly because I was in continued communication with progress that she made available to me.

Excellent representation!

If you need a good divorce lawyer
Kristin was extremely helpful explaining all of my options and consistently kept me informed of any changes. She was always available and quick with any follow ups. The only thing I would do differently is that I would not use Baker Tilly to do the financial analysis work as I thought they over charged and over billed for the services they provided to me.

Prenuptial agreement
I evaluated several family lawyers before I decided to have Kristin help me with a prenuptial agreement. Kristin is very intelligent and detail oriented, something I appreciated as I was not familiar with this process at all. She always kept me informed of next steps, and answered all my questions in a timely manner. Her rates were very fair for the work performed, and I would not hesitate to engage her in the future for any law related services I may need.

Excellent professional, outstanding service
I had contacted a few attorneys that I found through the internet, left messages, nobody would return my call. I called Kristin's office, they transferred me to her and within seconds I felt that Kristin was the professional I was looking for. She listened carefully to the information I provided, and contacted me with a plan sooner than I expected. Everything went very smoothly in her hands, and to think that we agonized over our problem for years! She is very trustworthy, her demeanor impressed me. She kept us informed through the whole process, always giving us updates, and that I believe is huge, as I dealt with attorneys before where you want to ask "hey, do you remember me?".... I would recommend Kristin's services to anybody, extremely satisfied customer.
