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.

Poor communication, only fights for your cause if it matches her beliefs.

Failed to file timely. Failed to truly be an advocate & was more concerned about maintaining her professional relationships than working my case. Always on vacation, Cancun, Florida, Hawaii, Europe.. never working. Withheld information from opposing party, and failed to present rebuttal evidence i...n our favor. Talked more about turning 40 and hating getting old than listened to important case facts. Laughed about another client wanting 50/50 custody every time I mentioned it. Truly believes women raise kids and men pay for them (Mormon based). If you're not LDS, you're not worthy and get 50% effort at best. Open discussed one of her special master cases in front of me with Ryan Petersen. Absolutely shocked at her bias in the conversation. The case was that of a close friend; she didn't know was my friend.
