Kristin Barnette excellent attorney

Kristin was diligent in my case. There was nothing she wouldn't do for me. Everytime there seemed to be a roadblock that popped up, she made sure that we got past it. She advised me that it would take awhile for it to complete the case. She was correct. But she always called and kept me up to date. I... didn't feel that she ever put me to the side for other clients. She called me late at night if need be. She's the best lawyer I've ever had the pleasure of working with.

Exceeded Expectations and then Some

I referred a client to Kristin, and boy did she exceed expectations! (It was another Personal Injury attorney who moved out of Chicagoland.) Kristin was there with my client every step of the way. After I sent Attorney Barnette an email introducing her to my client, within minutes, Kristin was call...ing telling my client about something quite time sensitive! Kristin is thoughtful and informative to the client, yet assertive and practical. I highly recommend Kristin to any body who has been inured in an accident. My client was quite happy with her work and so am I!

Executed Excelence Exceptional Actions as Attorney

An overall review of Attorney Barnette: I found Attorney. Barnette to be trustworthy, knowledgeable and professional. Being A person with a impaired hearing disability! it was necessary that I have a Lawyer that would keep me informed about the legal aspect of my case, and be responsive to any q...uestions, and suggestion that I might have. As a client I 'am grateful to say how, "Attorney Barnette provided and meet all of the above criteria that I was looking for". I 'am please with the quality of service an professionalism attorney Barnette executed in handling and resolving my case.

I Wouldn't Want To Be Them

Kristin took over my case from an attorney that was leaving the firm. Kristin called me and introduced herself and by the end if the call I was not worried another attorney was handling my personal injury case. Kristin told me what she intended to and she did it. Kristin kept me informed every step o...f the way and returned every phone call, or email. She also helped me with third party funding to help me through rough times until my case settled. If you have ever been injured and out of work you know exactly what I mean. That to me is the biggest difference between Kristin and other lawyers is that she really cares about her clients. So whoever, or what she is litigating on your behalf " I Wouldn't Want To Be Them."

Medical Malpractice Review for Kristin Nicole Barnette

Since the time we delivered the medical records to Kristin in my infant son’s medical malpractice case, she told me what the plan was going to be and kept me updated with any new details along with way. She was accurate about the value of it and upfront about any weaknesses of the case that would be... used by the defense. My husband and I were very surprised that she was able to settle it in less than one year given that many lawsuits take many years. Kristin fought hard for my son, and we would recommend her to anyone in need of personal injury representation.
