Kristen M Howard

Kristen did an amazing job in my custody case. My case went on for several years and she helped me navigate the complicated and emotional process wonderfully. My children and I were protected and her fees were so reasonable, especially compared to my ex-spouse's attorney!

I can't say enough good things about Kristen and her team. I was referred to her by a friend who had gotten great results for her divorce to a narcissist, and who won her custody case. I was quite reassured after working with Kristen to discover she is a solid lawyer with proven experience and expertise in family law. I had started my divorce case with another lawyer, and when I wasn't getting good results, I went in search of a new lawyer. Kristen and her team easily picked up my case and ran with it, always making me feel like a priority. They had so much empathy and integrity throughout my entire divorce process. They were diligent in responding to my questions and concerns and tried to keep me reassured throughout the process. Divorce is stressful as is, but when divorcing a narcissist, it can feel nearly impossible with no end in sight. Kristen has a lot of experience with cases that involve domestic abuse. She handled my difficult divorce with poise and professionalism. She helped me obtain what seemed unobtainable at the time - a settlement and custody resolution. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Makupson & Howard.

I've dealt with my fair share of shady attorneys and Kristen is far from it. She helped me through a rough child custody case and was not only able to protect my child but also my own interests in the case. Kristen and her staff are incredibly knowledgeable and have always done their best in responding to any questions or concerns promptly. I highly recommend Kristen for any family law necessities.

I was having trouble with my spouse, she refused to cooperate or negotiate in any reasonable way. She wanted to get my elderly parents and the their business involved. Kristen and the whole staff at their firm where great and we were successful on getting to a reasonable conclusion.

I owe Kristen more than she will ever know! After having 6 consultations with different attorneys, each one of them claimed I would have difficulty fighting for custody of my daughter. Kristen was the only attorney who said that she fights for fathers. At that moment, I knew I would retain her services. The results of my case exceeding what I was initially expecting, Kristen went above and beyond throughout each part of it. In all her correspondence with the opposing counsel she specifically used myself and my daughters’ name, not merely “my client” or “child”. She was intent on making it known that I was more than a client and my daughter was more than child. You will be hard-pressed to find legal counsel that does such a thing. Kristen was also very prompt when it came back to responding to emails or phone calls. She always made time for me and I did not feel that I was hold at any time. She will always get back to you in a timely manner. You never feel like she has other priorities other than dealing with your specific case! It is also important to note that Kristen will not sugar-coat anything with you. She will give realistic expectations of what can, and mostly likely, will happen. You will always get truth and honesty in the same room with her, and that gives me the upmost confidence in her. Listen to her, she knows what she is doing and will give you the best plan moving forward! I would not have the relationship I have with my daughter today without Kristen. That, to me, is invaluable. Kristen with her legal wisdom, planning, and honest conversations with me, made it all possible to be where I am today. Finally, Kristen’s greatest strength is compassion. This did not feel like I was just another client, but she understood how much I loved my daughter wanted to be a part of her life. She always encouraged me about my daughter and in the end, we got what we wanted.
