Impressed Client

Kristine Kyllander is an extremely knowledgeable and detail oriented professional . I had an ongoing financial dispute with my ex father in law that I almost got bullied into paying. After consulting with Kristine about my rights she steered me in the right direction and a day later the lawsuit was ...dropped. I have to say she impressed me. I would highly recommend her to anyone dealing with a financial/loan/debt issue. She is passionate about her field, asks the right questions, and follows through with what she tells you. In reality she saved me $20,000 by knowing the law and helping me stand up to these bullys. I typically dont write reviews, but in this case I was compelled to.

I have found working with Kristine to be extremely helpful. She is thorough and detail oriented and seems to love a challenge. I have some unusual financial issues due to an ex-wife and she has been very resourceful and creative when finding options for me to explore. She has significantly helped... me protect my assets from improper debt and collection activities. I highly recommend talking with Kristine at Kyllander Law to see what she can do for you in any difficult situation.

Replied last December 20, 2011

Unfortunately, Steve was two years behind on his mortgage payments when he came to see me about using bankruptcy to save his home from foreclosure. Although I was able to get a Chapter 13 Plan successfully confirmed for him, immediately following confirmation, he stopped making Plan payments and mortgage payments. About eleven months later his lender obtained relief from the bankruptcy stay and his case was dismissed. I understood that his goal was to keep his home, however, there is only so much I can do if he wasn't willing or able to make the payments. For the cost of my fees (equivalent to about one mortgage payment), he essentially got to live in the home rent free for an additional year because of the bankruptcy. I believe this was a service to him, even if he happens to disagree.

Fantastic Bankruptcy Lawyer!

Kristine is an excellent bankruptcy attorney! My wife and I first consulted with her around June of 2010. She was very courteous, very professional, and very UPFRONT about her fees, as well as fee schedule. She discussed all of our options as well as recommended a course of action based of the inform...ation we gave her.Our first consultation was free. We then proceeded to "shop around" for other BK attorneys in the OC area. After consulting with about 2 other attorneys, my wife and I chose Kristine with no hesitation. And I'm sure glad we did! Not only was she able to convince the Trustee to modify our plan for the first 24 months (to make it more affordable), but she actually came up with a better solution 8 months after our hearing to completely discharge all our debts after a financial hardship hit our family. If you are looking for legal advice and/or representation on bankruptcy issues, I recommend her highly. I advise everyone who is thinking of filing bankruptcy to do a couple of things: 1) Do a lot of research. 2) Be prepared! Be truthful! Ask a lot of questions, and 3) Hire a great attorney like Kristine!

Thanks for the help

Very easy to make appointment and she was willing to cover all my questions in the initial "free" consultation Fees very reasonable and upfront. In my case she was able to negotiate a solution without the need to file bankruptcy which was great! Highly recommend!!!
