Poor attorney

Poor attorney and she can't be located nor will she return my attempts to reach her. In my opinion she was bullied, unprepared, not knowledgable enough to handle my situation and was left to burden on my own. Thanks

Excellent DUI defense attorney in Junction City

I enthusiastically recommend Ms. Krista Blaisdell to anyone in need of DUI or criminal defense in the Junction City area. She is partners with well known criminal and DUI defense attorneys Tom Addair and John Thurston from Addair - Thurston Law Firm. I was charged with a DUI regarding medications ...and she diligently fought and won my case. She is a straight-shooter and will tell you both the good and the bad about your case and about the possible outcomes regarding your charges. I interviewed several other law firms in Junction City, and I didn’t feel that they were aggressive enough for my case. After our initial consult and I explained my circumstances, I felt confident that Krista would represent me adequately and aggressively, which she did. If you have been charged with a DUI, regardless if its alcohol related or not, you have a very small window of opportunity to file an appeal with the driver’s license bureau, or your license is automatically suspended. I would definitely recommend a DUI attorney for this. I liked the fact that Krista didn’t just look for some technicality to win my case, she also looked at the facts and evidence (or lack of) presented by the prosecutor’s office. Using that and her background with law enforcement, she was able to fight a fair fight and win. I felt that I was always informed and encouraged to call her when needed if I had any questions or concerns. She charged me a flat rate fee that included going to trial, and if necessary, all the way to the appellate court if I lost the case.

"Krista is a rising star in the field of criminal and DUI defense. In her brief time with this firm she has repeatedly proven how wise our decision was to hire her. Her background experience with law enforcement agencies will continue to be a valuable asset to our clients as it gives her special insight when analyzing cases.
