Vibrant Law LLC is the best

It is never an easy decision to hire legal counsel, but if you are ever in need of an experienced family law attorney, Kristi Skalman and her team at Vibrant Law LLC are as good as it gets. She was professional, responsive, compassionate and she knew the law inside out. Kristi helped my family immens...ely, and she was realistic and upfront about potential outcomes of my case. When it was all said and done I was very pleased with her handling of my court case, and I would absolutely reach out and re-hire Kristi in an instant if I ever needed legal representation in the future. Thank you to everyone at Vibrant Law LLC for your dedication to assisting each and every client who comes through your door.

Highly Recommend

I highly recommend Kristi. She is smart and savvy and knows the law. She is honest and fair. She works hard for her clients. She is a calm tiger - keeps clients calm and attacks opposers when needed. She fights for what you want. She made a very difficult part of my life easier. I recommend her as y...our family lawyer.

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.
