review

Kristen is very nice and smart and she works very hard. I like her as a person. I hired her for an immigration case and she kept making it more complicated and she kept scaring me with more problems. My case got approved but I felt like she made it too complicated. It ending up costing me much ...more than I should have payed because she keeps looking for problems. But she got the job done.

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.
