Competent and Compassionate!

Kristin is the attorney I utilized in assisting my sisters affairs since 2017. I found her to be a dedicated, committed professional with great communication skills who helped us through the path of dementia, placement in memory care, management and development of all necessary and required legal ...documents over the last eight years. All this done with the added issues of long distance being a factor with my being responsible for sisters care and residing in New York, and sister residing in Colorado. Kristin’s ability to anticipate the legal proceedings necessary to allow a combfortable end of life situation for our family made the entire process easy and understandable for us. Highly recommend her to those families looking to manage and plan care for loved ones! 10 Big stars in my book!

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.
