About Kristen

Learn Kristen’s areas of practice.

I love living and practicing law in Sonoma County! I have been practicing law since 2002. I grew up in Novato, CA and attended Santa Rosa J.C. then transferred to Arizona State University studying English and Political Science for upper division and then staying for law school, but I always knew I would return to the Bay Area after law school. I enjoy all aspects of litigation, but my favorite part of practicing law is the research and writing. I enjoy exploring Sonoma County and Northern California with my husband Steve. I love traveling near and far when I can (trying to get at least a few days of Snowboarding in each season), but also enjoy weekends at home with movies or a good book.

Have recommended more then once
I have used the team of Borba, Frizzell Kerns for personal and professional reasons. I find them professional and understanding. They helped me set up my LLC for my new business and also helped out when we had a problem with a neighbor. I find them compassionate and helpful and would recommend them to anyone, which I have done on more then one occasion :)
