I am a founding partner of Strunk Loos Family Law. I graduated from Arizona State University summa cum laude (B.A., 1999) and obtained my law degree from the highly ranked University of California, Los Angeles School of Law (J.D., 2003).
I was admitted to the California Bar and the United States District Court for the Central District of California in 2003. After practicing one year in public interest as a special education attorney on behalf of parents and their special needs children, I dedicated myself to the practice of family law. I have extensive experience in representing litigants with complex family law issues since 2004. I pursued and earned designation as a Certified Family Law Specialist from the State Bar of California Board of Legal Specialization in 2010.
I had the honor of working as an adjunct professor at the University of California, Irvine, School of Law 2012-2013, 2015 amd 2016. As an adjunct, I taught the Family Violence Clinic in which certified law students, along with a supervising attorney, represent clients at domestic violence hearings.
I have extensive experience in representing litigants with complex family law issues, including business valuation, cash-flow analysis, high-asset property division and high stakes custody litigation. I am an effective litigator, but I also take reasonable and pragmatic approaches to the settlement of issues within a case, whenever possible.
I am a member of the Association of Family Law Specialist, a member of the Orange County Bar Association, and a member of the Orange County Association of Certified Family Law Specialists. I am a board member of Laura’s House, which is an organization that dedicates itself to providing emergency shelter, transitional housing, legal services and counseling to domestic violence survivors and their children.

I hired Kerri to get involved with my divorce case after I had to fire my previous attorney. I'm a lawyer myself (totally different area of the law) so I'm probably a lot more critical of legal work and billing that I'm receiving versus the typical client. I also know from first-hand experience that ...

I consulted with Kerri after having to fire my family law attorney in the middle of a spousal modification case. She restored my faith in family law attorneys--honestly! To be sure, she could have just advised me to sign on with a big retainer and continue the battle. However, she gave me sound optio...

Kerri came highly recommended from my business attorney so I met with her. After meeting with her and four different divorce attorneys for initial consultations, I decided to hire Kerri because I felt that she was skilled, honest, and would fight for me. My divorce was complicated due to a sale of ...

She gave me hone...

I had several recommendations for attorneys and at the time Kerri was an unknown to me. She came as a recommendation from other very good Divorce attorney's who could not commit to the time and the complexity my case was likely to involve. As I talked with and consulted other attorneys Kerri's rep...
"It is not often you run into an attorney who is smart, savvy, shrewd and likeable, especially in family law! Kerri is the complete package."
"I have now known Kerri for many years as not only a specialist in her field of family law but as a lot of fun to be around in the professional collaboration group to which we both belong. I would not hesitate to recommend Kerri to any potential client, especially having referred her one client that was very happy with the results of Kerri's service."
"I highly endorse this lawyer's work. Kerri's ability surpasses that of seasoned veterans. Her enthusiasm and charm coupled with her intelligence and knowledge of family law, makes her dangerous to opponents and a must to anyone seeking a divorce."
"I endorse this lawyer's work. I have had an opportunity to meet Kerri through one of the organizations that we are both members of and have found her to be extremely knowledgeable about her practice field and professional. I highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for help in the area of family law."
