Great Experience!

Kirsten made my first time needing an attorney so easy. My situation was a very stressful time for me. I never dreamed I would need a divorce attorney. She listened and came up with the perfect plan for me. She was prompt in keeping me informed and with the retainer, I didn't have to worry about extr...a fees. I feel so very blessed to have found her. I would highly recommend her !!!

Excellent Attorney! The BEST of the BEST!

Kirsten Bode and her paralegal, Kristina Chiarelli, are truly exceptional. I can’t express enough gratitude for their help, support, and guidance during one of the most challenging times in my life. After interviewing seven other attorneys, I felt certain in my choice of Kirsten from our very first m...eeting. Her genuine interest and dedication to my case were evident right away. Kirsten and Kristina approached my situation with compassion and professionalism, always ready to support me and my children. They were quick to respond to my questions, anticipated every step, and consistently defended our best interests. I am incredibly grateful to both of you!

Amazing Service

I recently worked with Kristen Bode and her paralegal, Kristina Chiarelli, during my divorce, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. From our first meeting, Kristen's expertise and empathy made a difficult process much more manageable. She guided me through every step with clarity and professio...nalism, ensuring I understood my options. Kristina was equally impressive, always prompt and thorough in her communication, which helped keep everything on track. Together, they made a challenging time much easier with their support and knowledge. I felt confident and well-represented throughout the entire process. If you’re looking for a dedicated and skilled team for family law matters, look no further than Kristen and Kristina!

Best divorce for the price

On Oct 8th my husband beat me up, broke my hand, tried to choke me to the point of urinating my pants. On October 10th I went to Hayes, Berry, White & Vanzant, spoke with Kirsten Bode and Kristina Chiarelli. They were able to accept me as a client and have done a wonderful job with a difficult Opp...osing Council and his client, who both were procrastinating the whole year. The divorce is finally at the end. I would highly recommend these ladies for anyone needing help. They helped guide me in the right direction to keep myself safe.

Excellent attorney! I could not have asked for a better experience.

Attorney Kirsten Bode helped me through a very difficult time in life when I needed to file for divorce. From the moment I met Ms. Bode, her dedication and genuine interest in my case left no doubt for me in choosing an attorney. She competently and compassionately guided me through one of the mo...st difficult life-changes a person can go through. Her availability, expertise and understanding of my situation as a whole, could not be beaten. I am so thankful for her help, and I’m grateful to have hired her for the job!

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.
