Over Promised and Under Delivered

I really wanted to like Kristy and give her a good recommendation but she left so many things wanting for me. In my line of work, I’ve worked with several dozen case attorneys and you have lawyers that are reactive 11th hour attorneys and then those that are proactive, strategic and attack oriented. ...I do see her somewhere in the middle although she failed her fiduciary responsibilities to represent us. I married a girl with kids from a previous marriage and she had used Kristy in her previous divorce process. We had several outstanding continued legal proceedings with my wife’s ex and she wanted to continue to use Kristy because of her knowledge already about her previous marriage from years earlier. I strongly wanted to go another direction with a different attorney but gave in and complied with my wife’s wishes. Long story short, Kristy felt strongly we would get many things granted our way in different proceedings so we always would move forward with her recommendations. Instead, I felt she often fell behind the eight ball and played defense and catch up ball rather than offense when she was going to move something along... We gave up ground on every aspect including at mediation which she was extremely confident in.. They were easy base hits and the other lawyer (less experienced) was always more prepared than Kristy. I really feel she was just stretched way too thin and didn’t have the time to give our case the attention to strategically perform. The only reason I gave her two stars is because my wife is still trying to give her the benefit of the doubt. I’ve had some lawyers I’ve worked with that are fantastic and on top of everything and some that just don’t quite get there. Kristy is the latter. Tens of thousands later, I regret not making my gut decision a couple of years ago. From a guy that has used some really great attorneys, Kristy is just ho hum.
