Best Family Lawyer I Have Ever Worked With

I have been using Kristi for all of my family law needs for the past three years. She is professional, empathetic, and detailed oriented. She always tries to be mindful with the money being spent, and settle or negotiate when need be, but recently she went into litigation for me and my case, and abso...lutely went above and beyond. She had every possible scenario worked out in her head, and coached me so I was ready to go on the stand. The outcome was the best possible, and I cannot recommend her enough!

Skalman is a gold star attorney.

She was kind and through and didn’t back off opposing counsel in my family court case.

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.
