Best Lawyer I’ve Ever Had

I needed help getting my Certificate of Rehabilitation. Kristine was able to get it without any issues. Kristine is very professional and extremely easy to work with. She didn’t treat me like a client, she treated me like a friend. I’m extremely grateful to her. I couldn’t recommend her more.

Kristine is for the people.

Kristin is very knowledgeable and an experienced lawyer. Made it a safe environment for me to be able to open up freely as she demonstrated to not only be my lawyer but she was there to fight for me . Very professional. My case almost seemed unreal and everyone around me told me I would not win . How...ever Kristine Values and expertise makes her different than Any other lawyers . Prices she charges are great , she should charge more for as good as she is . I am happy to say I got my life back and reputation after winning such an ugly case . I was facing a few years and I am happy to say Kristine brought the case to rest and I can now live a normal life. Kristine is for the people she genuinely cares and will check in on you .

Respected & Skillful Defense Attorney!

Kristine is a highly respected and skillful criminal defense attorney. As a colleague I have worked on a number of cases with Kristine, and I am continually impressed by her professionalism and knowledge of the law. It is an honor and privilege to work alongside her. All of her clients are in wonderf...ul hands and I would never hesitate to send a referral her way.

Confident, Strong and Knows Her Stuff

Kristine came to us from a Highly regarded referral. She listened to us, which was most important to me aside from all the qualities we wanted to represent us. To anyone looking for representation in A Family Law Court case look no further because Kristine will handle it. It was great that she asked ...all the right questions to get to the nitty-gritty of it! Would I hire or recommend her? You bet your sweet bottom I would! Thanks again Kristine for your hard work and dedication to your craft.

"Mrs. Koo is an experienced and diligent criminal defense attorney. I have seen first hand what she can do for her clients and it is nothing short of amazing. I do not practice criminal law so whenever I have an issue that crosses over with criminal law I speak with Mrs. Koo. She is a wealth of knowledge and always has the answers. If I needed a criminal defense attorney, I would hire Mrs. Koo immediately."

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.
