This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Up Front Billing

I was totally shocked that this office couldn’t give me an appointment for a month, but wanted a $175 consultation fee, up front. Who doesn’t give you a consultation to determine if they can even help you?

We are sorry that you found our office policies unhelpful. Unfortunately, sometimes our office is very busy and this is one of those times. Since you posted anonymously we were unable to reach out and see if we could resolve the issue with you; however, we do wish you the very best in the future.

Keep looking!

Don't fall for this lawyer! She offers payment plans and then I ended up paying double. She doesn't let her clients know about excessive phone calls to other party's lawyer. I would never recommend this lawyer to anyone as I don't feel I can trust her after my experience. I also didn't appreciate... her bad mouthing the other party as a way to get in my good side.

Auto accident

I was hit by another driver earlier this year and spent some time with a chiropractor that Kristen recommended trying to get my back and neck feeling back to normal. It's a pain trying to fight and negotiate with the insurance companies, and something I don't have the time or patience to deal with o...n my own. I brought it all to Kristen, she handled it, contacted me when she needed, and settled everything quickly and fairly. Thank you for taking that extra workload and annoyance off my plate!

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.
