The best hands you could be in.

I hired Kristin to help me with the supplemental judgment for my divorce. She listens to your situation and gets to the heart of the issues and has the special ability, and patience, to be able to explain technical legal terms and processes in a way that you can understand. kristin not only represe...nted me in a way that I felt very confident in, but she also empowered me as a person to be able to stand up for myself, to stand in my truth. Kistin is the advocate you want on your side. Ethical, extremely knowledgeable, and personally committed to you. Thank you Kristin!

Divorce

Kristin LaMont is very capable and caring. However she was very often not timely nor helpful in getting our divorce resolved without a lot of outside work, expense, and time for me.

Consistent support through parenting dispute

My case has been a long and arduous one with lots of ups and down. But the one thing that has been constant throughout the past 4 years has been Kristin's commitment to my case, her friendship and her unwavering support of my daughter and I. She and her staff specialize in serving the whole person/fa...mily when representing them in divorce and separation, offering wisdom, advice and experience that is invaluable for healing broken families and resolving complex legal disputes with regard to children and familial abuse. When you know that you are in the hands of the best in the business, you can rest easy at night knowing that there is a solution and they will find it no matter how complex the matter is or how long it takes. Thank you again Kristin! It is because of you and your team that our future is brighter today! Sincerely, J
