About Kirsten
Biography
Kirsten brings over a decade of legal expertise and knowledge to her work, which focuses exclusively in the area of family law. Kirsten spent several years in general practice, but decided to narrow her focus to family law when she realized the valuable real-world experiences and skills she had developed over many years would best be put to use helping families and children through some of their most vulnerable moments in life.
Kirsten understands the emotional challenges a person can go through when they marry or divorce. She understands even more the delicate, emotional, and unique set of challenges children may add to a situation. Being in Kirsten’s hands means you have an honest and compassionate lawyer on your side, working with a team of dedicated professionals, who will give their all to you and your case.
Kirsten is a seventh generation Texan, tracing her roots to a German land-grant in present day Mason County. She and her husband, who met their freshman year in college, are proud second-generation residents of Denton county.
