Why you should hire Kristina Sitton as your Lawyer.

I dont usually do reviews, but i want to say Thank you Thank you, again to Kristina Sitton. She was an amazing Lawyer. On our initial meeting she looked over my case letting me know what we were up against and what we could do to fight it. She really listened to my concerns and made me feel at ease s...o i could focus on other things. She was always available for questions and She always seem to be a step ahead of the courts. Kristina really knows her law and shows it. She consistently kept me updated on new findings and took care of everything pertaining to my case leaving me virtually stress free. My outcome was better than I could hope or expect for thanks to the amazing Kristina. I truly was impressed by the whole experience and would recommend her to all my friends and family.

Phenomenal lawyer

Kristina represented me in family case matter and provided me with several routes that she could take to ensure I received everything I was endeavoring. She provided me with the quickest and most strategic routes to ensure success. I recommend her to everyone I know.

Not up to par

I was represented by Kristina in both a federal case and a state case. Throughout the entire process she was very hard to reach by phone or email. Not to mention when I did have court appearances she would often send someone else to deal with me. I have dealt with many different attorneys and have ne...ver encountered this. I paid to be represented by her, I did not appreciate her sending associates, often her as well as her associates would show up past the expected time agreed upon. The biggest issue for me was her not following through with the duties I hired her to handle, along with being EXTREMELY FLAKY as far as handling communication with me as a client.

Family Law

Kristina is very professional and a pleasure to work with. She was very patient, kind, and sometimes painfully honest when it came to discussing matters of co-parenting. She takes a common sense approach to all matters, and is able to channel your passion on certain issues. She will be our family... lawyer as long as she is willing to keep us on as a client! If your looking for the truth, don't want to be Nicole and dined to death, Kristina is the lawyer for you!!
