Very poor service. Don't pay for her vacations!

Kristy was hired well over a year ago by my ex and I. She has not helped resolve any issues I have brought to her attention. She does not respond to emails or phone calls timely and when I have tried to make appointments with her they are generally weeks out because she is too busy or on elaborate va...cations. By the time she gets to my issues, she says she can't do anything. Very frustrated. Wasted thousands having to go to court instead, plus what I paid her.

Total fail

I hate to write such a critical review, and it's not my hope to hurt Kristy's reputation but to simply advise prospective clients. Kristy had good reviews and came recommended to me. However, after my divorce (and the year and a half following) I have discovered that my decree and parenting plan ar...e extremely vague, were written incorrectly and is full of loop holes. I am suffering and paying for it now. I have basically gone back to court having to rehash so much; it's like I have had to pay for a complete divorce again. Make sure you take the time to read your decree, stand up for yourself, be as detailed and black and white as possible; if you want more custody, better time, etc. ask for it. Don't just sit back and let the mom have all the control. Had I known what I was truly signing I would have fought much harder. I just trusted Kristy knew the law and I trusted she had my back.

Hopeful but disappoointed

She seemed capable at first. However, she and her assistants failed to file simple yet important case files in a timely manner. She also failed to communicate important matters with opposing council, and many communications from me were never answered. My case suffered considerably with her as my att...orney of record.
