Excellent lawyer in your corner

Kristin answered my initial call promptly, she was caring, professional, and thorough from the very start, Kristin knows the law backwards and forwards and it showed in the courtroom when she got the result in the court room she was hoping for in the very beginning. She took the time to listen to m...e and get all the facts and did thorough research of the facts and testimony of the opposing side and presented a very comprehensive plan for my defense which she carried out successfully and got a favorable result on my behalf. Beyond her excellence as a lawyer Kristin is a very caring and compassionate person. She never talked down to me. She was professional, but she spoke to me as a friend and went above and beyond on my behalf. I highly recommend Kristin Slone as a defense attorney.

Best female lawyer I have ever met..

I have been Ms. Slone client for about ten years. The first time I met her she called the jail for me Christmas Eve and she came to get me out of jail.. I will never forget it. She have been to two criminal trials and faught for my life as if it was her own. Not guilty for one and the other one was ...guilty because discrimination and won on appeal two years later the appeallant court overturned my conviction. I love my lawyer like a sister I can depend on her even if the odds are against me she will fight and has the knowledge to deal with any case any time judge or jury . I call her every time I am in trouble who else would I call? She has never let me down and I love her for that..

This Lawyer is Amazing!

For more than 20 years, I've sought legal guidance from Kristin Hanna Slone. She has represented me in municipal and district courts four seperate times. I have also hired her to represent me in consumer protection, property disputes, and when faced with a hostile work-place environment. Grievance...-resolution is one of many fortes that Kristin Slone has mastered. Kristin Hanna Slone's integrity and character solidify the attorney-client relationship. I have turned to her expertise to solve a menagerie of problems. Attorney Slone's actions and advice have yielded, in all my cases, the most favorable and just outcomes. *My Land: Four years ago, a developer started to put a road on the back of my property. I hired Kristin Slone. Even though a surveyer said the property wasn't exactly mine, nor theirs, I got to keep it because of "adverse possession". *My Job: I've worked for the State of Washington for nearly 25 years. I faced discipline when my boss wrongly accused me of breaking protocol. I hired Attorney Slone. She wrote two letters and then met with my boss. Kristin Slone not only put an end to my adverse employment issue, since then, my boss and I have developed, and contunue to share, a sincere level of open communication and mutual respect. *My DUI: Kristin Slone won my case on a motion. She argued that the police violated my rights because they had no probable cause to interrogate and detain me; the judge threw out my case. She saved my driver's license, too! *My Speeding Tickets: Kristin Slone beat all 3 of my tickets. She fought. She won. My attorney, Kristin Hanna Slone, is kind and tactful. She has always kept me informed, and has a knack for explaining legal issues so they make sense. Her prices are fair and honest. Kristin has given me advise that has undoubtedly stopped trouble before it could start. Her unique holistic approach to problem solving is an art. My attorney appears to be humbly at home in court. It's like she has walked a mile is your shoes. She really understands the nuances the courtroom demands, and has a special rapport that, and is well respected by the judges. She amazes anyone in the courtroom. Kristin Hanna Slone is the very best attorney whom I always turn to.

"Attorney Slone is a friend, but that is not why I am endorsing her. I am endorsing Kristin Slone because she is a great lawyer. I've worked on cases with Kristin and am always impressed with her deportment and ease with handling complicated litigation and simplifying difficult legal ideas and issues so that the prosecutor and Judge can understand her viewpoint on the client's behalf. If you need a great lawyer, then hire attorney Kristin Slone."
