Attorney Review

I highly recommend Kristi Barnhill as an attorney. From the moment I reached out for a consultation to the resolution of my case, I was consistently impressed by her professionalism and expertise. Kristi Barnhill was incredibly responsive to my questions and concerns, providing prompt updates and... realistic expectations throughout. Her knowledge of family law is extensive and her approach with my case had a favorable outcome for my child and I. Beyond her legal expertise , Kristi Barnhill demonstrated a genuine empathy and support through the entire process, which meant a great deal to me. If you’re seeking a dedicated attorney who will advocate for your best interests while maintaining a human touch, look no further.

Out of State Divorce

Kristi and her team's competence and knowledge proved to be invaluable in helping me obtain a divorce. I thought I was in a difficult situation but Kristi and her office helped me to get my ex-wife served out of state, as well as avoid unnecessary and potentially costly obstacles during the process. ...They were kind, courteous, and good with communicating. I would recommend Kristi to anyone.

Step-parent Adoption and Termination

I knew after I first talked to Kristi during our consultation that she would be outstanding. She was my attorney for my son's step-parent adoption. She was so professional, efficient, informative and had great communication. Even with the courts shutdown due to Covid she was able to navigate the proc...ess with ease. Kristi and her staff helped complete our family and I cannot thank her enough.

2020 Divorce Case

Kristi was the most professional attorney I've come across. You hear horror stories but Kristi proved to be a true professional in this very emotional environment. She made the process very simple while protecting my interest. Even though my ex-wife did what she did, I still wanted this to be amic...able and Kristi honored my wishes.
