What Kristie did for me

I found Kristie to be a very caring and competent attorney. She knew the right questions to ask me, took time to listen and made sure she covered all areas of importance anytime we had a court date. She explained the court procedures to me every step of the way. Kristie is detail oriented and it sh...ows in all her work. I was grateful for that!!! I appreciated the fact that my calls and e-mails were promptly responded to, as well as receiving copies of paperwork needed for my case quickly from her. My divorce took a year to finalize - ending April, 2014. In that time span, I saw an extremely professional attorney who was quite knowledgeable, well-organized and able to stay on top of any obstacles we had to deal with. Although divorce is not pleasant, Kristie did help me get through mine much easier than I had anticipated. I can't find fault with anything she did, and would recommend her highly to anyone in need of a divorce attorney.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
