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.

Fast & Fierce

Kristine was recommended to me by a close friend who said she would be the perfect fit. As soon as I contacted her, I knew she was the exact person I needed representing me in this case. Kristine was extremely thorough in her work and her knowledge base in criminal law is very good, so she knew w...hat avenue to proceed down while taking my thoughts into consideration the whole time. In just a few short months, Kristine was able to show enough evidence to the prosecutor who dropped all charges before even having to go to trial, saving me from having to spend thousands of extra dollars and tons of stress.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND - Hire Kristine

I highly recommend Kristine. Kristine not only referred me to one of the best family law attorneys, she also worked to contact the DA and make sure the felony domestic violence charges were dropped prior to my arraignment date and hearing. In addition, she was able to obtain a letter from the DA's of...fice stating they decided to not file a charge against me. This letter is crucial and will be used as evidence to help me get a temporary restraining order dropped. Kristine is passionate and attentive. I talked to over 10 lawyers before deciding to hire Kristine and she is by far the best. Kristine,  you are greatly appreciated. Thank you for going above and beyond.

Highly Recommend!!! Saved my life!

Kristine Koo represented me on a second DUI offense. I took this case to trial and plead not guilty. Ms. Koo was able to get my case dismissed! This has been the most nerve-wracking experience in my entire life and she was there to help me every step of the way. Anytime I had any questions, she was r...eadily available. She worked so hard and was extremely thorough with learning everything that had to do with my case. I feel so blessed to have had such a great attorney on my side. I feel like a weight is lifted off my shoulders. I could not be any happier! Thank you so much Ms Koo!!!

A great lawyer who invests in you.

Kristine was my lawyer for an unexpected and ugly divorce and custody battle last year. Kristine was professional, taking the time to get to know me. She constantly kept me informed of upcoming hearings and explained each process to me. With each call or email, I could see that she genuinely cared a...bout me and my children. She was a great listener when I needed to vent and gave solid advice that went beyond the courtroom. When you meet Kristine, it’s immediately clear that hear passion is taking care of her clients. I am so incredibly lucky and thankful that Kristine represented me.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"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."
