Integrity and put children first

I started my divorce in 2018 while the divorce was finalized there were many ups and down with my ex. Kristin was ideal with helping my navigate through this as well as keeping our children out of it. Through the years she has dealt with my multiple emails, phone calls, counselors, PC, reunification ...therapists, the ex, his attorney with SO many people involved in this case you would think she could possibly “drop the ball”. Well she didn’t. She does her best to point out when you yourself may be wrong. (Which makes a good attorney) She tells you to always “take the high road”. Which we all know is difficult when dealing with a divorce. If it weren’t for her guidance, honesty, expertise, years of experience, excellent staff to assist her. My children and I wouldn’t have got the outcome we got. Come court date she had ALL things in order, super organized and went down a checklist of facts. I knew then the other side should be worried that she came prepared to win! I would highly recommend her to anyone. And would use her again if needed.

Thank you

Was dealing with a child custody issue from another state. Kristin was able to get this case settled quickly and favorable for me. I am pleased with the results and will highly recommend her in to anyone.

Thanks

Kristin and her staff were exceptional during my divorce. It was great to work with people of such high standards and integrity. Anyone faced with a divorce and all that brings should be in such capable hands.

Outstanding Family Law Attorney

Kristin has the knowledge and expertise to assist clients in difficult situations. Empathy is one of her greatest qualities. Consulting with Kristin was time well spent. I would strongly recommend Kristin to represent my friends and family.

Excellent Attorney

Ms. Eaton has provided legal services for me throughout the past 16 years. She helped me through my divorce and subsequent child support modifications. She is very knowledgeable, caring, supportive, clear and concise, and dedicated to advocating for her clients. She also puts forth her best efforts ...to work collaboratively with opposing counsel. She is an amazing attorney who can even help you see when you are wrong. She focuses on the best interest of the child at the center of custody issues and helping parents work collaboratively for the sake of their children. I would strongly recommend her.

  • 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.
