Intelligent, Knowledgeable and Tough

i switched representation a few weeks in to my divorce- i hired Kristin in August 2015 to handle my divorce w/custody. Kristin understood the situation I was facing within the first half hour. She makes you feel you are a priority. She is available by phone, email and you do not wait for responses. I... would not have felt complete closure with my case without her representation. She is not afraid to push and not back down from the opposing counsel. She is definitely one you want fighting for you, not against you.

Review of Kristen Pawlik as divorce attorney

Kristen was always well prepared. She made me feel like I was her only client. She answered all my questions, even the ones I had asked several times before. She helped take the "edge" off of a really difficult experience. I really felt like she had my best interest at heart, not making money and... moving on to the next case. She worked for me, but always gave me options and recommendations based on her experience. In the end, the direction we went was my call. If you are unfortunate enough to go through a divorrce, your first call should be to Kristen.

Worst attorney ever!

ZERO stars!! She refused to return phone calls or text messages, it took months of begging to get her to get a Guardian ad litem assigned, she did not present evidence of drug and alcohol abuse, child neglect, assault, parental alienation. She was a horrible representation for my case. I do not recom...mend her at all.

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.
