Providing You With Compassionate Representation in All Family Matters
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.

Kris is a great attorney. We were able to settle a case with unique complexity in a collaborative and cost effective manner for our clients. Kris is smart and compassionate.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I highly endorse Kristine Stewart. She is a very experienced attorney and mediator, with a wealth of knowledge and compassion. Kristine is extremely effective, and highly respected family law attorney.
Steven Stoltz, Family Attorney on Jun 14, 2020
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I am a private and public judicial officer with 40 years of experience in family law practice. I am pleased to have the opportunity to endorse Kristine. First, Kristine is extraordinarily intelligent with an obvious high IQ. She is able to quickly get up to speed on complex cases. Second, she is pragmatic and realizes that in family law not every battle is worth fighting. Third, and possibly most important for a family law attorney, she is a nice person with a great sense of humor. Her fees and billing practices are reasonable in relation to her resume. She is at the top of my list when asked for San Francisco/Marin attorneys to refer clients to.
Emily Vance, Family Attorney on Jun 13, 2020
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
I highly recommend Kris and her firm. Kris has been opposing counsel on several family law matters with me. She is reasonable, knowledgeable, and skillful at settling cases. It is also very clear she genuinely cares about her clients.
