Kristen Lynn Bienstock

I had been divorced for 4 years but needed to negotiate post secondary education with my ex-husband. My original attorney was retired. Kristen made herself available to me on short notice and was a perfect match for what I was looking for. I was nervous and anxious. She was supportive and empatheti...c all the way with me and tough as nails with my ex and his attorney. The end result was that I got everything I asked for and MORE. Cannot recommend her strongly enough.

Ms. Bienstock helped me negotiate a new child support order and post-secondary support agreement with a very "difficult-to-deal-with" person. She effectively represented my case with excellent communication and support. I felt like I knew what was going on at each stage. If I ever felt like I needed ...an update, Ms. Bienstock responded to my emails within a very short period of time. I also felt like she worked my case efficiently-not with the intention to just "run up my bill"-as has been the case with previous attorneys from large firms. Ms. Bienstock is fair, professional, and supportive during those extra-stressful points of negotiation. I highly recommend this attorney-she provides straight-forward advice and seems genuinely dedicated to resolving one's legal issue.

After 10 years of being completely desperate for help in a family law matter, I entered a help letter online. Not expecting any response I received an email from Kristen stating she thinks she could be of assistance. After speaking with her about my case she said that she would be able to help me. Kr...isten jumped right into a nightmare of a case and my ten year battle with my daughter's father. This case has been a case that no lawyer ever helped see through to the end. As is it's been a never ending battle with the father and his family and previous lawyers gave up on me for complexity with the case and financial reasons. Kristen never gave up and kept pushing me forward through complications and the stress of the case. Kristen fought for my daughter's rights as a ten year old going through such traumas that she was and she fought for me as the mother. After hiring Kristen in February of 2012 what seems like the longest ten years of my life has officially been put to an end with the help, knowledge and caring support of Kristen. To sum it all up Kristen showed professionalism and gave her time and her heart to myself and my daughter. She helped me keep all ducks in a row and fight for the justice that my daughter and I deserved. In the last year I have overcome so many obstacles and with Kristen's help I have been granted support from the courts and protection from my daughter's father and his family. I have had such a weight lifted off my shoulders and I am and will be forever grateful for the guidance and assistance that Kristen provided. She never gave up on me when it came to the stress of the case or for financial set backs on my behalf. I am a single mother and with Kristen's support and care I have been given a second chance at a happy life with my daughter. With the closure of this case for the time being has given myself and my daughter a chance to start our healing process. I can't thank Kristen enough for the time and love that she gave to myself and my family through the last several months. I feel as if I could never repay her for the place that she has put me in life. My family, my daughter and I will forever be grateful and hold her near to our family and in our hearts forever. Thank you Kristen for making a miracle come to light in our family. All my thanks and love to you!!

I would recommend Kristen to anyone dealing with family law issues. The bulk of my case was regarding child support, however it also dealt with a major modification of a parenting plan... all the details that go with it. She has great communication skills. Continually informed me on a regular basi...s as to what was happening with my case. She also has a great sense of humor that helped relieve tension when necessary. Extreemely professional and willing to work diligently with out complaint at all times.

Every two years I have my child support recalculated by an attorney. Usually it costs me a half hour in their office and a crisp hundred dollar bill. With Kristen it cost me over a thousand dollars and nearly a month of waiting. I can't even imagine how it took her so many (very expensive) hours to d...o what other attorneys can do in less than one.
