Kristin is amazing

Kristin is an exceptional family lawyer who has truly changed my life. With her unwavering dedication and expertise, she successfully fought for the custody of my two boys, bringing them back into my arms where they belong. Kristin's meticulous attention to detail, compassionate approach, and tireles...s advocacy ensured that every aspect of my case was handled with the utmost care and professionalism. Her guidance throughout the entire process was invaluable, providing me with reassurance and support during what was undoubtedly a challenging time for my family. Thanks to Kristin's outstanding efforts, I can now look forward to a brighter future with my children by my side. I am forever grateful for her remarkable work and would highly recommend her to anyone in need of a skilled and compassionate family lawyer. Kristin truly goes above and beyond for her clients, and I cannot thank her enough for everything she has done for me and my family.

Legal help, name change

This was an amazing law firm to find for my legal matter! I was connected with Kristen Weaver and she was nothing short of amazing. The law firm was efficient and kind during the process and their communication was stellar!

Great help during divorce dispute.

Kristin made updating my divorce agreement a quick and easy process. She showed care for my case and I didn't have to worry about anything.

Child support case

Very poor experience with Kristin Weaver. Not only she failed to manage case properly amd present all of the information but every time I question anything that was done she would threaten to withdraw from the case. Key details of the case were missed and when I reached out to their Principal Leslie ...Shafer she took Kristin's side and withdrew from the case 2 days prior to deadline even giving me any time to retain anybody else. There is a lot of good attorneys out there so not waste your time.

Denis - I am sorry to read this. We aren’t ethically allowed to comment about cases with specific detail. I can say that our opinions about the outcome and our overall effectiveness are very different. Most cases have weaknesses and our job is to protect our clients’ interests while also being realistic and making sure to identify issues. That requires frank conversations and sometimes things clients don’t want to hear or refuse to accept. When clients request it, we'll make sure the case is reviewed carefully and a full explanation is provided as to all legal strategy recommendations. Our firm works in teams, which means the average years of experience being applied to any client's case, strategy and work is over 10 years. This is an emotional area of law where the stakes are high. We utilize experts when necessary, we keep digging when most would stop, and we take pride in our service to both our clients and our community. As with every client of this firm past or present, we wish you nothing but health and happiness and we hope your opinions change over time and when you have an opportunity to reflect on your case’s outcome. Kind regards.

Excellence in Family Law

Thank you so much for assisting me with wrapping up my case in July 2020. You were responsive, answered my endless questions and your communication was always clear. I value time myself, and appreciated yours in assisting me with what I will NEVER have to deal with in the future. Definitely recommend... Mr. Todd Burnham's law firm, and the wonderful people in the practice that walk you through this "other world" of law and the court system like Harlow Hooper, Jeanie Pumplin, Sarah Pisk, and of course Kristin Weaver!

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.

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.
