Kristen Joyce Dunnett

Kristen represented me during my very difficult child custody case and I truly do not know what I would have done without her. When the case started I was pregnant, scared and absolutely clueless. Kristen listened to me, validated my feelings and was extremely knowledgeable in how everything worked. ...Many days and nights I would text her and she would reply so fast almost every time and gave me perfect advice. Throughout the case (which took over a year) not only was she someone who I trusted with myself, I trusted her judgement when it came to my child as well. And that is priceless. In a time where I was a new mom and absolutely terrified having someone to lean on and trust was a godsend. She was my lawyer then but I consider her a friend now. Kristen is kind, selfless, knowledgeable and quite aggressive in court when needed! She will do everything in her power to do the right thing. Highly Recommend! Thank you Kristen for being such a light in a very dark and scary time!!!!

I hired Kristen Dunnett to represent my me in what started out as a Motion for Family Access case. I do have a difficult case but I was honest with Kristen every step of the way. I informed her on the truth of my case and each time we went to court Kristen got it wrong as she was unable to accept the... facts. After three years, and three different judges, we finally made it to trial. On the day of trial Kristen threatened to quit. After allowing almost three years of wrongful assumptions and giving her thousands of dollars to represent me, it was clear where she stood personally on my case along with her actual legal abilities. After I fired Kristen, I later found out in court about a deal Kristen made with the commissioner that she had previously lied to me about. I tried to discuss these issues with Kristen but she could not handle herself in a professional manner. The final outcome in my case was far worse than if I had done nothing. It is very frustrating when your attorney gives the appearance of doing a good job until it is time to perform.

Kristen is my second lawyer in my custody case. I’ve interviewed a lot of attorneys and worked with three others in the past. Kristen, by far, exceeds all my expectations. She is upfront about everything, offers all avenues, explains the process very clearly and doesn’t take short cuts. She is honest..., responsive, empathetic, and aggressive in court. I highly recommend her for family law - especially if you have a “messy” litigation.
