Great results from a highly skilled, no pressure attorney.

Kristen had a highly professional, tactical approach coupled with a caring attitude to handle a difficult personal injury case in a way that helped me feel at ease. Having never needed a lawyer for an injury case, I wasn't sure what to expect. She communicated clearly and regularly with a no-pressu...re style that helped me wrap my head around my best course of action. I always felt like I was in great hands. She has an extensive network within her firm, as well as nationally, that she can draw from to make sure her advice is supported by the best practices of the legal world. I was referred to her by a close friend who also benefited from choosing Kristen and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to a friend or family member as well. I didn't feel like I was lost in a maze of receptionists and referrals while working with her. Kristen made me feel like I was her main client. After a long duration of time (due to uncontrollable circumstances from the opposing side), Kristen was able to negotiate a strong settlement for me thus avoiding trial. Kristen is a pleasure to work with and she got a great result for me.

Avvo Rating

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.
