Absolutly Amazing

I met Krista in 2015 when she agreed to take on my case when it seemed no one else would. My case was involving a motorcycle accident, and even the law tiger wouldn't take my case (they claim to specialize in motorcycle accidents). She was very professional and had my best interest in mind the whole ...time. The case lasted 2 years and 5 months with many setbacks. Krista and her team made me feel like I was their best client and encouraged me to stay positive throughout the whole process. My case started out by going to arbitration. We won the arbitration in the amount of 23k. Unfortunately the defendants lawyer appealed it and we went to trial. At this point Krista decided to do a counter offer we the defendant knowing full well that they would deny it. This was detrimental to me as if the outcome was in our favor the defendant would have to pay my attorney fees and all the taxable fees in double. Like she predicted they denied the counter offer and we would be going to court. The court system has a backlog so it was 1 year later going to court. Krista and her team went to bat for me and the trail ended up in a mistrial at no fault to her. So another court date was set for another 1 year later. Yet again Krista and her team pulled out all the arsenal they could. They called in specialists, and engineers to help aid in my case. They fault gallantly for me with the best outcome possible. We won by a jury verdict in our favor. The jury awarded 21k. Krista didn't stop there. Remember the counter offer they denied.... She went back and fourth with the defendants attorney with sanctions, fees, and costs. After all was said and done Krista and her team cut me a check for $48,288. I was shocked and awed on the phone when she called to tell me. That was more than double what the jury awarded me in the court room. I was very blessed that Krista came into my life to battle for me and my family. We will be forever in her debt, and she will always be in our heart and prayers. I will highly recommend her always and forever. cheers.

"I endorse this lawyer. Krista is an excellent lawyer and an asset to the legal community. She is my go-to person when I have a question about personal injury. Krista is very knowledgeable in her practice areas and is devoted to the highest level of representation for her clients. I never hesitate to refer potential clients to Krista when their needs fall outside of my practice area or I have a conflict of interest that prevents me from taking the case. I know that Krista will provide the same high level of service that I would want if I were hiring an attorney, and I am confident that any potential client will be in good hands with Krista."
