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 wer...e 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.

Excellent lawyer and easy to work with

Understood my needs and was very specific on details during the process. I could easily relate to her and she made the process more easy on me. Very ethical, down-to-earth and I enjoyed working with her in the process. I would highly recommend her. 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!

Review and Advisement for our DIY Divorce Petition

Kristin performed a review and advisement for my DIY divorce petition prior to submission. I respect and appreciate the prompt and complete communication Kristin provided during this process as much as her level of knowledge. She answered all of my questions in a way that was easy to understand. I... definitely recommend her to anyone who needs legal representation.

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.
