About Kristine
Biography
Kristine is an experienced litigator with extensive training in mediation and alternative dispute resolution. Kristine returned to school in 2005 as a single parent following her own divorce, and her commitment to her clients is grounded in having personally experienced the stress and uncertainty that often goes hand in hand with even the most amicable of divorces.
Kristine strongly believes in the importance of reducing the level of conflict whenever possible, regardless of which process option is utilized. This is particularly true when there are children
Kristine can assist with premarital agreements, parentage actions, post-marital agreements, dissolution and legal separation, and with post-judgment custody and support matters.
Kristine is presently accepting cases in San Francisco, Marin, Alameda, and San Mateo Counties.
