Kerri Lyn Strunk

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 ...is difficult to jump into the middle of a case. However, I was thoroughly impressed with my representation by Kerri. She is a very strong courtroom advocate and really knows what she is doing. She presented a very strong case for me under difficult circumstances, and she got a great result. She is very responsive, and her staff is just a pleasure to work with. Thank you, Kerri and Tamyko!

I found Kerri on Avvo initially and consulted her to handle my divorce in 2015. I was a little hesitant to do a consultation with her as she did not offer a "free" consultation like many other attorney's but after considering her reviews posted I met with her and presented my case. She gave me hone...st feedback on the best strategy for the divorce and what it would take to complete. I hired her and we worked well together to get my divorce final 8 months. The following year after my divorce was finalized I was told my job was moving to another state and I had to go through a custody battle as my child wanted to stay with me. Because of how well Kerri handled my divorce I also retained her to handle my custody battle. Again, Kerri worked with me to develop a strategy on how to best handle the case. My ex fought this hard and after a custody evaluation we still spent 4 days in court. In the end custody was awarded in my favor thanks in part to hard work and diligence of Kerri and her team. Going into this situation the odds were against me and she made sure the facts were represented in the end. I cannot recommend her enough.

In October of 2012, I was faced with divorce after 7 years of marriage. I had no idea what I was doing, as no one ever imagines having to go through anything like this. I was fortunate enough to find Kerri, after I had spent 2 months with another attorney at a different office who had zero interest i...n returning calls or easing my mind through the difficult times I was facing, to say the least. I sought out Kerri, met with her for a consultation, and instantly felt calm and at ease. I just knew I was in good hands. Not only was she sympathetic to my emotional situation, but she truly knew what she was doing from a legal standpoint. Through the process, she was able to handle so many different facets of my situation: a (then) 2 1/2 year old son and custody, drug issues with my ex-husband, a community property business and just a volatile situation all around. She was able to diffuse the situation, help me with the community property business in getting a fair buy out as well as alimony and child support, and most importantly, get primary physical custody of my son. At all times, Kerri (and her amazing staff) responded to emails quickly, always returned calls, was always concerned about my well being and had a game plan in place at all times. There was never a moment where I felt scared in the uncertainties, because I had Kerri representing me. I was safe with her. My divorce ended up settling peacefully because Kerri knew how to handle my ex-husband and his attorney. Now that the process is over, and things are much more calm, I know that I am in the position I am in because of Kerri and her hard work. I received alimony, am still receiving child support on a monthly basis and my son is able to see his dad on a regular basis. I have had other friends who have gone through divorce and have heard the nightmare stories about their attorneys. I have never hesitated once in referring them to Kerri. I would recommend her to anyone. She is by far, the best out there. Truly second to none!

Divorces are unfortunate, but I was incredibly fortunate have to found Kerri to be my attorney. Although my divorce was relatively low in assets, it was extremely high when it comes to the logistical complexity and emotional fraughtness of the issues to be resolved. In time I came learn that divorce...s such as mine are increasingly common as the byproduct of modern lives and families. And I could not have been in better hands. Kerri was incomparable in the depth and breadth of her knowledge and understanding of family law, her strength and finesse in legal representation, and most of all her personal character and integrity. She was as strong and eloquent in taking a stand in court (where she seemed to be universally liked), as she was patient and skillful around the negotiation table. And she worked absolutely tirelessly: even though she had many cases to deal with she always responded promptly and thoughtfully to my queries. Because of all this she successfully tackled a wide range of problems such as complex and unusual financial situations, international custody, extreme emotional and physical stress, and an erratic opposing counsel all at once. Looking back, I realize that Kerri somehow accomplished the seemingly impossible task of keeping us focused on the most critical issues at stake, while at the same time staying perfectly in tune with the various "moods" of a divorce as I experienced them. I was badly bruised at the onset of the divorce. Kerri and her team got my mojo back.

You don’t want to get a divorce, particularly when children are involved. If you have to get a divorce, you want it to be amicable. If you have to get an attorney, you hope you’ll be able to settle and never have to set foot in a courtroom. If you have to go to court, you hope that your legal rep...resentation is smart, honest and ethical, and that the process is over quickly and fairly. If you have to go to trial, you want your attorneys to be the most capable in their field and to reflect your values as well as your financial interests. If you don’t identify with the above sentences, stop reading this now. What I have to say doesn’t apply to you. Two and half years ago, I separated from my now ex-husband and was hopeful that the divorce process would be straightforward. When it wasn’t, I was incredibly fortunate to have Kerri Strunk and Eileen Landau as my attorneys. Throughout a process that ended up taking two and half years, more than 15 appearances in front of the judge, and a three-day trial, I can say that Kerri Strunk and Eileen Landau provided me with the best possible legal representation. Kerri and Eileen worked as team on my case, with Kerri as the lead attorney and Eileen primarily responsible for research and writing. Month after month, they were always well-spoken, well-organized, and well-prepared, commanding the respect of both the judge in my case and various opposing counsels. More than that, they represented me according to my values, so that although I had to go through the painful experience of litigation during the already painful experience of a divorce, the process didn’t break me. Not only did I emerge with the financial settlement to which my children and I were entitled, I also emerged with a public acknowledgement of the truth in my case, and the confidence that I acted with integrity throughout a process which compromises so many. Six months after the end of my litigation, I am debt- free and have savings in the bank. My ex is seeing his children on a regular basis and paying regular child support as well as the equalization payments to which I am entitled according to the terms of our settlement. My children and I are safe and happy in our home and in our lives. I could not have imagined this was possible 2 years ago. Kerri Strunk and Eileen Landau created this positive outcome through their expert handling of my difficult legal situation, through their incredible work ethic, and through their uncompromising professionalism both in and out of the courtroom. I am a courageous and well-educated person, but I don’t think I would have had the strength to endure this process and achieve what I needed to for myself and my children had it not been for their outstanding legal counsel. It is an honor to endorse Kerri and Eileen and their work. I have the utmost respect for them and for what they do. --Amanda
