Worst attorney

I don’t even want to give Kristi a 1 star. she truthfully deserves to have 0. she does not do what’s in the best interest of the child and she’s out for the money. I would not recommend her to anybody who’s looking for a family lawyer

I don't know who this person is, and clearly this person does not want to be known. It was more than likely written by an opposing party, as I have had no complaints. I will also note that this person said "consulted", not "hired". As a side note, for those of you reading this; I will only do what is best for the child, meaning I will think of your child before I think of you or your ex. That information may also help you in determining whether or not you want to hire me.

"I endorse this lawyer. Kristi knows her stuff too well. I first found out about Kristi from her other colleagues in the same practice area, which is family law. I have referred clients to Kristi and they have come back to me to thank me for the referral. She is brilliant, sharp, and most importantly she truly cares about her clients. If you are looking for a knowledgeable family attorney, Kristi it is! I endorse her wholeheartedly."

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.
