Fantastic adoption attorney!

Kristy finalized two adoptions for our family. She is incredible. She found and corrected mistakes that had been made before she was involved in our case. She was quick and efficient allowing us to finalize as soon as we possibly could. If we were to adopt again, we wouldn't anyone but Kristy!

Focused on results

I have worked with Kristy a number of times over the years. Kristy is focused on results. She is tough and adamant when she needs to be, but also has great negotiation skills to work out favorable deals. Kristy has all the qualities I would look for in an attorney.

Kristy is very competent and creative

Kristy was very efficient and effective. I had a very complicated case and a bitter ex-wife. Plus, my ex-wife's attorney was crazy. Throughout the process my ex-wife continued to threaten to go to trial and her attorney was pushing her to goal to trial. Kristy remained calm and clear headed thr...oughout the process. Kristy helped me understand the law, what was reasonable to expect at trail, and the risk/reward of going to trial. We were able to eventually work through the issues and we constructed a very novel settlement and avoided going to trial.

Fantastic Attorney!

I was very surprised when I read the previous reviews of Kristy. She did a fantastic job with my case! She was very efficient with her time and thouroughly explained all of my options to me. She and her staff were easy to contact and always kept me up to date. She even gave me her personal cell p...hone number to use in case of emergency! My divorce was very messy, but Kristy took care of everything and helped me get control of my life back. I highly recommend her to anyone with divorce or custody issues.

Visitation and Paternal Rights

I couldn't be happier with Kristy and her ability to provide knowledgeable counsel for my case. She secured more parent time and paternal rights than I could have hoped for. She cared for my case as if it were her own situation. I highly recommend her.
