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.

Excellent Service

I was referred to Krista by another law firm who said they couldn't handle my case after representing me for 1 1/2 years. With the 2 year door coming to a close, I was at a total loss of what to do. Krista explained every detail of what she planned on doing, and her legal assistant Jodi kept me info...rmed the whole way along. Between the two of them, the options that were open to me through their work, helped me settle my case in a timely fashion and better than I expected. Jodi was awesome with her updates, returning my calls & e-mails, and informative about what she probably thought were " Silly Questions " without delay. I am 100% pleased with my dealings with Krista & Jodi.

Excellent

Prior to being referred to meet with and work with Krista, I was seriously distressed by the case and it was seriously affecting my personal and business life. The first time I met Krista and we discussed the case I immediately felt at ease and I knew I was in good hands. From the day we met until ...the time the case was closed Krista made me feel safe and secure. She took care of everything so I did not have to be involved any longer than I wished and I felt like I had my life back. I only needed to deal directly with Krista and when we did have meetings she was respectful of my time and was flexible to meet my schedule. My case lasted over a year and Krista made it a point to reliably call me with updates and was always available to answer my questions right away. Prior to this case I had limited experience with the legal process. Krista did great with explaining the process and the case so I could understand. I was nervous about the case and appearing in proceedings. I felt she could understand what I was going through and she would take the time to calmly talk to me and make me feel at ease. Working with Krista I continued to feel at ease and knew I was in great hands from the beginning until my case was closed. Krista has great passion for serving her clients and wonderful energy and enthusiasm. She is personable and I could sense she genuinely cares for people and counsel’s her clients in their very best interest. She pays close attention, does a great job of listening and asking the right questions. In negotiations and proceedings she is very knowledgeable, she knows what is fair and what to expect through the process. She can visualize various approaches to the case and how they would likely develop with the opposition’s likely strategy. There were even some bizarre opposing tactics in proceedings which she handled with poise. From the beginning her vision was spot on and the case was successful. In proceedings she is very professional, pleasant and is great with people. She is self-assured and able to take charge and get her points across. Also I was very impressed with her ability to adapt to her audience and the flow of the proceeding. In our case Krista could sense opposing counsel was taking unnecessary time. So then Krista purposefully became very clear, concise and straight forward which I could tell was a huge benefit in this case. Krista is a wonderful attorney and I am very happy she was on my side of the table. I would highly recommend her.
