She is not just a Judge. She is the best person in the world when it comes to save you from real troubles. I had some real troubles while living in a bloody Washington ( womens' state) because of my Ukrainian ex date when she and her sister falsely accused me of stalking. Krista helped me to get awa...y with a no contact order instead of serving time. Second time my ex date and her sister kept falsifying case and said that I allegedly violated a nc. Krista again helped me to convince the judge that I am a good person, however, I still had to put electronic bracelet for ten days. Then I met another Russian woman who created more problems with her drunk friends and I could probably get away since I was arrested and wasnt guilty in a different city, but I had to go to Russia and visit my sick mother. Then i was late to appear in court and it was a violaton by itself. While in Russia i remebered how tough the judge in Pacific could be and i decided that I should never come back to the United States since no one would believe that I didn't appear for a reason. I also lost my green card and it was a sign too. Too many problems I had there and all were not my fault. In Washington state if you are a man, you will Always be guilty. Always. Judges MUST condemn you. It is a common unspoken agreement and a rule in WA state. Men alwys are guilty. Prisons are terrible. Food is horrible and scarce. Since then I live in Russia and don't have my problems with anyone, ever. Because I don't have wrong women anymore. The DV system is very corrupted in the US. It is better to stay away from the country. Years after I left the US I remebered how many times Krista helped me to get the least out of big problems and all were done for free, since then I was a student, and I decided to let everybody know what a Wonderful person she is and how professional she is as an attorney. Do not trust Russian-Ukrainian attorneys like Boris Petrenko there. He took money and hasn't don't anything ,only made my case so much worse. Hire Krista! You can trust that she will have your back. These are her words when she was my attorney and she always had indeed. Thank you very very much Krista!
