Do not recommend

I was referred to this firm. The person who referred me worked with Joe Riccio for their case. Different types of case but nonetheless, she used this law firm. I worked with Kristina Kirigin and unfortunately had a terrible experience. There was a lack of communication from the beginning. I was never... spoken to or prepped before any hearing. The bill just kept racking up. The paralegal asked for the same documents over and over again. When I told Kristina my expectations, she stated that her only job was to get me the guardianship. She did that and that's it. There was no guidance at all. I wasn't even aware when I officially got the guardianship since that was not communicated. They also did not notify me when another partner at the firm was going to represent me. All I have to say is I am happy I chose to stop working with this law firm and self-represent. Unfortunately, I made this decision after losing over $6k of legal fees. This is likely from communicating the same thing over and over again. Also, going to court over and over again due to their lack of communication and preparedness. Ex. I would submit something to them and they would not file it. Or, they would ask me to complete something the day or the Friday before the hearing. Only towards the end was the communication a little better. By that time, I was already out $5k. ALSO, they assumed I had access to a shared drive which was NEVER given to me in the 10 months they represented me. So, the new lawyer who took over my case assumed I had access to this shared drive. More wasted time as I was in town and unable to complete what I needed to do that required me to be in person.

The best lawyer!

I am more than grateful and pleased with the results I received with Kristina Kirigin!! I highly highly recommend this attorney after carefully reviewing several attorneys in nevada! My choice was left between her and Joe riccio before learning that they actually worked together. I was in a highly co...ntested custody battle in between 2 different states with another very aggressive attorney representing my ex. I found Kristina Kirigin after having to fire my last attorney and she was able to turn my entire case around that was originally going in my ex's favor due to his constant lies. We went to trial and prevailed with me getting primary physical custody, final say with legal custody, no travel and attorneys fees!! She made my ex tell the truth which broke his entire case.  She also worked out a payment plan with me during the process. Kristina Kirigin and her paralegals are life savers! They were all very  quick with responses to each email, text or call I made.

The best attorney

I was recently in a very difficult and time-consuming child custody and support legal battle. The matter needed a good attorney who can dedicate more time and apply practical experience on family law. I have interviewed several different attorneys and researched to find the best attorney for my case.... I found Kristina Kirigin to be the most knowledgeable and experienced attorney in family cases. She represented me competently and in a timely manner. The court outcome was positive. I highly recommend Kristina Kirigin for anyone who needs a good legal advice and representation.

Caring, compassionate and professional

I hired Ms. Kirigin to assist me with my divorce. I could tell from the moment we met that she was truly dedicated to her clients and had their best interests at heart. She truly helped me through a very difficult time and ensured that I was treated fairly. While I don't wish a divorce on anyone, I w...ould recommend her to anyone in need of those services.

Conscientious, Knowledgeable, and Thorough

I first contacted Ms. Kirigin for help with my divorce several years ago. She did an outstanding job and had me divorced quickly and effectively. I hired Ms. Kirigin again to do my Estate Planning. She did an outstanding job and I have all my affairs in order now Thanks to Ms. Kirigin. I have refe...rred several of my friends to Ms. Kirigin because she was so knowledgeable, conscientious and thorough.

Family lawyer | Mar 05

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"Kristina destroyed my case on cross. She could only do this by paying close attention to details and knowing her facts very well. These are important qualities for an attorney and I was left shaking my head in frustration and irritation that my client’s witness would lie so blatantly on the witness stand despite taking an oath. After Kristina made everything the witness said look tainted and untrustworthy, I wish the judge would have made a perjury ruling against that witness. The trial was half over by this time, but after Kristina’s work, I knew the case was over. She’s the kind of lawyer a client should want representing their interests."
