Irresponsible

I would not recommend this lawyer she is too irresponsible to be a lawyer. Most people that are custody lawyers didn’t do very good in law school anyways but she sure takes the cake. She lacks empathy for anybody and her main goal is to get money in her own pocket she does not honestly care about ...you or your children and harmful to children at best please do not use this lawyer . Unprofessional 100%

No regrets!

I was referred to Kristen from a friend. With all the stresses of parenting, a messy break up with an ex boyfriend and then a custody battle thrown my way all at once Kristen was not there just as a lawyer to represent me. She was there as a friend. We even had mini councelling sessions for all of my... mental break downs. She advised me in the right direction with knowledge and experience. She worked with me on payments and did so much for my family! No regrets with Kristen. She's on top of EVERYTHING. Fast responses to all my questions. I never felt alone in my battle because she was there every step of the way!! She deserves 10 stars out of 5!!

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.
