Kristine's career in family law began in 2007 as a paralegal and law clerk to Stella L. Pitts. She became an attorney through the Rule 6 Law Clerk program in 2013 and joined the Law Offices of Sherri M. Anderson in 2017. Her practice focuses on substantial estates which require creative solutions – legal, financial, emotional – for unique problems: e.g. divorce in the context of closely held businesses, stock awards and options, retirement assets, pensions, trusts, separate property tracing.
Her professional background prior to entering the legal field as a teacher (English literature at UW and Seattle University), an artist (weaver), and a retail buyer for a small business inform her practical and nuanced approach to the circumstances clients bring to her. Kristine’s decade-deep background in mediation and trial practice ensures that she and her clients are prepared for settlement and court.
Kristine is a licensed attorney in Washington State, and has been named a Rising Star by Super Lawyers every year for the past four years.

Kristine is in your corner. She patiently walked me through the divorce process and protected me from bullying when I was beat down by the lawyers employed by my ex . She negotiated a great settlement for me and made sure to keep my wishes in mind. If you have to go through the unfortunate process...
