Super Helpful and Received the Best Possible Outcome

Kristen was super helpful in walking me through the legal process and preparing me for the various hearings. She was always available for a chat and responded promptly to all communication. My case had the best possible resolution and most of that is due to the work and care Kristen had for me as a c...lient. Highly recommend her!

Exactly what our family needed in a stressful time

My family consulted with Kristen and her firm during a very trying time. It was the sort of phone call that every parent dreads making. We were very impressed with the fast response to our initial query, and how quickly we were able to consult in person. Kristen was able to interpret our situation..., and provide excellent guidance about what kinds of legal protections were available to us. Thankfully, in our situation, the involved parties decided to handle the consequences of accusations made against our family without the involvement of the legal system. We absolutely appreciated the timely, kind and compassionate options provided in our consultation, and without question would have chosen Kristen to represent us if other parties pursued their claims.

Excellent knowledge, professional, timely

I would highly recommend Kristen to anyone seeking assistance navigating the legal landscape of having a prior sex crime conviction. I reached out to Kristen for help regarding my move to Washington. I had successfully been granted relief from registration in another state, but it was uncertain if, o...r under what circumstances Washington would honor that. These laws are often confusing and even downright contradictory at the federal and state levels. Kristen was terrific to work with. She used her extensive understanding of the laws in this area pertaining to my situation to help me. She was extremely compassionate and professional, and I immediately felt confident she had my best interests in mind. She responded rapidly to inquiries and got in contact with the relevant law enforcement offices to communicate what needed to occur (they needed to do a comparative analysis of my judgement). Ultimately, the best part was that Kristen was successful in helping me, and I am not required to register in the state of Washington, which has a huge impact on my job and personal prospects. I am very thankful for the help she provided me and her expertise. I would recommend her to anyone.

"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."
