"Kristen is one of the best attorneys I have worked with. She is organized, thoughtful, and passionate about our work. Any client would be in good hands with her."
"Kristen is savvy, accomplished, well spoken, and highly empathetic to how hard it is for her clients to endure a criminal case. She is very well versed in the law, knows Washington courts' like the back of her hand, and takes care of business. If I had a criminal case in Washington, I would call Kristen."
"Kristen is one of the kindest, smartest, and most dedicated people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting. Some lawyers lack experience but make up for it with zeal. Others have a great deal of experience but become jaded and detached from their clients. Kristen has the experience and wisdom of a seasoned trial attorney AND the zeal, compassion, and work ethic of a true believer. She is strategic, savvy, and disarmingly kind. I feel honored to work with Kristen and offer her my highest endorsement."
"I happily endorse Kristen. Our offices are close together and I see first hand how dedicated she is for her clients and work. She is personable, compassionate, has a sharp legal mind, and has years of valuable experience as a public defender. She's an excellent choice to be your lawyer!"

It is clear that she sincerely believes in her work and it fuels her competent aggressive representation. I have sought her advice and opinion and greatly value her input."
"Kristen in a wonderful attorney. She cares about her clients and passionately works for a successful outcome of all of her cases. I have seen Kristen effectively achieve great results for her clients."
"Kristen advocates passionately for her clients. I have seen her get excellent results in numerous trials. I value her advice and judgment on criminal matters."
"I strongly endorse this lawyer's work. I have worked as co-counsel on two jury trial matters with Ms. Gestaut. In both instances, the jury returned verdicts in favor of our clients. Her dedication to social justice is admirable, and she routinely achieves positive outcomes for her clients."
