100% recommend Kristen! ... a kind, skilled & exceptionally competent family formation attorney!

Thank you, Kristen Przeklasa for helping me obtain legal clearance on my IVF journey! I am thrilled to have found OC Child & Family Law... referred by another trusted attorney friend of mine. Kristen was kind, compassionate, and extremely knowledgable about the complexities regarding my situation to ...become a SMBC, with the help of my sister as an egg donor. Kristen drafted our agreement within 48 hours, helped me find another attorney for my donor who also offered a fast turnaround... and in just a few days, I was able to get the legal clearance required for my fertility clinic. All for a very reasonable price... I am so grateful. Other law firms quoted me higher rates, and a 2-3 week turnaround! Kristen treated me like a friend, was easy to reach by phone for any questions, and provided exceptional service for a fair rate. I would highly recommend Kristen and her partner Sahar to anyone in need of family law legal services... it's so refreshing to meet lawyers who genuinely care about their clients. Hoping I get pregnant soon, I will be happily working with Kristen for all of my family planning needs in the future.

Excellent

Kristen was detailed, present, and engaged through the entire ordeal of my child custody battle. She answered emails and calls at all hours, damped my fears and kept me moving forward throughout. I am very pleased to recommend her to others.

Attorney in my corner

It's never easy getting a divorce. I can say it was the most stressful event I have gone through. However, having Kristen in my corner helped to minimize my stress level. I knew she was looking out for my best interest. She was very knowledgeable about the law. When my Ex's attorney tried to pull ...some funny business, she nixed it immediately. Kristen was always available. She was able to see me when I needed to consult with her in person. Emails and phone calls were returned promptly. Nothing worst than a non responsive attorney. The entire office staff was very courteous and professional. It was a good feeling knowing that I had good representation. Someone who was fighting for me. I really am glad Kristen was there for me.

Mediation

Kristen and her staff made what would otherwise be a very stressful divorce situation go as smooth as possible. She explained the various different aspects of each area and what we could expect.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
