Lies, negotiates against you

Hire Kristy if you would like someone to lie to you about your case and negotiate against you so that you get a fraction of the child support and alimony that you would get if you had a decent lawyer who fought for your case. She will also tell you that you will get a lot more custody than possible j...ust to get a check from you.

The best of the best

I hired Kristy to help me in a high conflict divorce with complex custody issues and a large estate to work through. She has shown strength and class from day one. That is exactly what I was looking for to help my family through this difficult time. By the time I hired her, I had already been dea...ling with a couple of months of limited time with my kids. She went right to work in filing temporary orders. She and her team worked late into the night (Midnight) night after night preparing for the hearing. Her preparation was so good leading up to the hearing that the hearing only lasted about 30-40 minutes. The end result was me getting 50/50 custody, keeping possession of my house and not paying temporary alimony while we work to a final resolution. She is honest and hardworking and will not back down to anyone. She did not ask for a large retainer up front and only bills me as time acures. The communication has been good with her and her staff through the entire process. The depth of her staff and their knowledge base is amazing. They are all very respectful and understood the high stress situation I was dealing with. They had a way of helping me feel like it wasn't as big of a deal as it felt like in the moment. I have really appreciated her integrity through a process that has already been hard. I would recommend her to anyone that wants to work through the processes as painless as possible. Right after the hearing we were right onto the next phase.
