Straight up attorney

Working with Kristine and her staff was a breath of fresh air after I fired first attorney. First attorney was milking me and providing little direction or useful alternatives. Kristine was just the opposite. She stayed on top of me case. Many times answered my questions and concerns within a few h...ours and always inside a day. She and her staff do a great job documenting hours with specific tasks or actions completed. They do not play the attorney billing game charging for minor responses or answers. Her rates and billing practices are very fare. In the end I settled out of court, with good results.

Fantastic Lawyer!!!

Went through a complicated and stressful divorce/Settlement. Three years including Bifurcation Divorce, Spouse dies after bifurcation and the a drawn out settlement with his siblings--all very adversarial. Kristine was outstanding, professional and calm. She and I faced many difficult problems but sh...e solved them all. A pleasure to work with and one of the very best attorneys I have ever encountered , especially considering the difficulties of this divorce and settlement. I highly recommend Kristine Young and would give her 10 stars in a different rating system. A real Pro!!!

Great Law Firm

I met Kristine at one of the hardest times in my life and she helped me through a divorce as well as child custody issues. I’ve gotten all my questions answered and I really felt she helped keep everything on track and put together so I got the best possible outcome in court. I would recommend her an...d plan to use her in the future if I ever need another attorney.

The best in the business!

Kristine Young and her staff are the best you can ask for in family law! I had a long drawn out nasty divorce. They helped me every step of the way doing everything they needed to help me get it done at a fair price and move on with my life. Kristine was always very responsive to my questions and I n...ever had to wait for an answer longer than a day throughout the whole process to hear back about whatever concerns came up. They went above and beyond to get my case handled and finished. I highly recommend them for any family law issues you need resolved!

Great Divorce Attorney!

I had a long legal separation and divorce. I had been through two other attorneys and still the case dragged on for years longer than it should have. After I turned everything over to Kristine Young, it was wrapped up in three months. I was very impressed and very happy! She is able to combine o...bvious competence, genuine courtesy and respect, and relentless persistence to reach the goal. She tactfully avoided being unduly adversarial, but it was also apparent to me that (if required), she could ‘take off the gloves’. Thankfully, she specializes in both divorce and estate planning which are related in ways not many of us think about, including the attorney that originally handled my estate planning. On top of all that, she has rates more reasonable than most. Kristine gets two thumbs up!

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
