Krista L. Baughman

I couldn't have asked for a better attorney to fight by my side. Krista is thorough, detailed oriented and super considerate. She didn't just provide an impeccable legal service, but also a sense of companionship. She understands what I was going through emotionally and never forgets to take care of ...my feelings. I had so many questions along the way but she always explained things in a way that I can easily understand. I still remember our first meeting. Her compassionate, warm and firm tone really calmed me down from the panic of being served. I understand most attorneys' time is super valuable- especially someone in Krista's level- but she listened to me patiently and never for once cut me off. Our anti-SLAPP motion was granted and the case was dismissed within 8 month of me being served. Going with Krista was one of the best and most important decisions I've made in my life. A good lawyer doesn't just give you victory, but also better sleep every night and a peace of mind. I was only able to focus on my own profession and continue driving my own career because of Krista!

Krista took on my case where a business relationship had gone sour - she did so with the utmost professionalism, integrity and class I could imagine. I appreciated her quick, yet thorough communication, her understanding of the strengths and weaknesses for both sides of an argument, and felt she tru...ly cared about my well being through this long ordeal. The result is a new agreement which is clear and concise in how we'll conduct our business partnership going forward.

My father always told me, "Son, when you accumulate your financial wealth, you need to make sure you have a great doctor, CPA, and attorney." Ms. Shoquist is a great attorney that my family and I retained, and she has been our family attorney for several years. Here are some of the elements tha...t make Ms. Shoquist a great attorney: - She is ethical: Ms. Shoquist has demonstrated many times in the past a strong level of business and legal ethics by staying true to the letter of the law; - She is creative and resourceful: Ms. Shoquist uses her legal creativity and resourcefulness to strategically and tactically create a win-win legal position for me and my family; - She understands the business-end of the fact pattern: Ms. Shoquist's business knowledge coupled with her legal education and experiences increase the strength of my family's legal pursuits and legal interests against various individuals and corporations; - She is sympathetic of her client's legal situation: Ms. Shoquist takes the time to explain the legal issues in terms that are understandable to me and my family; - She has great follow-up and respects deadlines: Ms. Shoquist sends out information on a regular and consistent basis to keep my family and I in the loop; and, if she tells us that she will contact us on a particular day with an update, she does -- even if it is just to tell us that "there's no update at this time;" and, - She nicely blends the use of her legal education to real-life legal applications: Ms. Shoquist understands the legal theories and blends them to their practical real-life applications by staying focused on the legal issues as they relate to the fact patterns of the case, which can get convoluted by red herrings and other non essential issues. We are very fortunate to know Ms. Shoquist and have her in our gun-belt.
