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.

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!

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.
