Conservator

Since my previous probate attorney was not able to handle my case, I was referred to Ms. Borgia. I was very pleased how quickly she was able orientate herself to the complexities of the Conservatorship that was in place for my developmently disabled adult daughter. I found her knowledge of probate la...w and issues to be complete and her legal advise on my case to be viable. She helped me to feel comfortable with the outcome of my last court hearing which supported my daughter's current board and care placement and the current Conservatorship.

A diamond in the Ruff!!

Kristine was a angel sent from heaven to deal with our over turned pile of Hell. Our case had been over viewed by many different lawyers and everywhere we went, we were turned down. However Kristine was able to take our case, very assertive, respectful and above all, very explanatory. Our case had... been in the court system for quite some time. Kristine was able to strategize everything in order professionally and get our case heard & closed. I highly recommend her.

Excellence!!!

When I came to Kristine for help, she was literally my last resort. I had lost my mom and grandma three months apart, and was under alot of stress. As the only heir... I still ended up needing to go to probate court. I had hired a paralegal who further complicated my case. Because of that, I was t...hen forced to seek an attorney who quoted me 6 times the amount, and couldn't make me any guarantees. Finally, as a last resort, a friend referred me to Kristine... She was smart, calm, confident and very reassuring. She had a great understanding of the issue and quickly simplified my case. In addition to that, she was more than fair in her fees. She took such a load of stress off my daughter and I, I don't know what we would have done without her. I had been to court 4 times prior to resolve this matter... and she resolved it within 3 minutes before the judge. I recommend her highly and without a seconds hesitation. I am extremely grateful for her help!!!
