Excellent Divorce Lawyer

I hired Kristin Riggan to represent me in my divorce. She was wonderful, caring, and very understanding. She always listed to what I had to say and made the process much easier. Her or someone from her office always returned my call in a timely manner. I would highly recommend Kristin Riggan. It act...ually feels like she works for you.

Just an amazing exsperince

Kristin has helped me go throw a divorce and custady battle that has been going on for about two years starting when I was over seas for the military. If I have ever had an issue or problem she had an answer and a solution. Kristin is very, very knowledge and experienced professional. There has never... been a point in time where I have felt uncomfortable or uninformed. She is great at what she does and will do anything to make sure I am not left out in the rain or confused. If something happens in court that I don't understand Kristen goes the Extra mile to exsplan it to me in a simpler way for me to understand. If anyone ever had an issue and not sure what to do I would recommend Kristin in a heart beat, not just because she is an amazing lawyer, It's the fact from the first time I meet kristin I didn't feal like it was just money she wanted but made me feal comfortable and reassured in my decision on why I picked her as my attorney ever step of the way.

Highly Recommend

Kristin was very helpful in resolution of a family matter. Throughout the case Kristin and her secretary were very professional. She was very good at keeping me informed as the case progressed. If I had any questions I had no problem in getting a reply from her. I certainly will be using Kristin for ...any future legal advice. Thank you Kristin and Stephanie !

Best Attorney Around

She made my divorce process so easy. My ex and is attorney were so slow at doing anything, yet Kristen kept after them until they finally responded. She was able to negotiate terms of property division so that I got exactly what I wanted. If I every need an attorney for any other reason Kristen is th...e one I will go to. Love her attitude and outlook on life. She truly is the best attorney ever!

Very pleased with Kristin!

Kristin recently represented me in my divorce. My Husband and I had already agreed on our Separation of Property before I met with her. I actually hired Kristin to just review the Separation of Property papers that my husband 's attorney was hired to prepare, and to give me tax advice concerning the ...property division. She was also hired to review the final decree after my husbands attorney prepared it. Since my husband was the one to file for the divorce, his attorney had been paid to prepare the decree and property paperwork but kept making changes that were not agreed upon earlier, and made the whole process much more difficult than it had to be ! The other attorney ended up asking Kristin to prepare the Property Settlement Agreement and Decree. She did an excellent job getting everything prepared exactly like my husband and I had agreed on earlier. Kristin returned emails and phone calls in a timely manner. She was very professional with the way she handled everything. She made me feel comfortable dealing with a difficult situation for myself. She was also very fair with the price she charged, especially considering the fact that she did most of the work that she had not been hired to do. I think the best compliment she could have gotten from me, was when I told her, that my husband said that I had definitely hired the better attorney! I hired Kristin because she treated me with respect and showed true concern for for how hard this situation was for me. God sent me in the right direction. Kristin was excellent!

"Kristin is charming and witty - but this lawyer is as tough as nails! I have seen her stand up to tremendous pressure and refuse to back down. Even a lawyer with 10 years more experience is no match for Kristin's ethical determination."

General practice lawyer | Apr 24

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I had the pleasure of attending law school with Kristin. During that time, we had several classes together, and I saw, first hand, that she had the knack of thinking like an attorney well before she earned her law degree. Since graduating, I've seen Kristin grow as an attorney. In the little time she's been licensed, she has built up enough clientele, through her time as an associate at another law firm, to branch out, hang up her own shingle, and practice solo. If you're in need of an attorney, Kristin is an attorney to consider. Smart, reasonable, and down to earth, she'd make a great advocate."
