Very pleased with my experience! Would definitely hire again

I could not be more pleased with our decision to hire Krista Gieske to handle my case. After being served with a lawsuit for a past debt of mine, I knew I needed an experienced lawyer. I had never faced something like this before and was apprehensive. I was searching on Avvo and found Krista. First, ...I called and spoke with her. She was very pleasant over the phone and calmly told me what it was I needed to do. After sitting down with my husband and discussing the situation, we agreed it would be best to hire her. She was not only extremely knowledgeable, but was very helpful and went out of her way to make sure every aspect of the case was handled. She is very genuine and I felt like she really cared about helping make a difference in our family's life. She kept me informed every step of the way and either called or sent me updates by email, which I really appreciated. Not only did she get the case settled swiftly, everything even down to the terms came out in our favor and it ended up saving my family money. I urge you, if you are looking for an experienced lawyer who knows what they're doing, hire her!

Wonderful, caring attorney

Krista did a terrific job helping us with a debt that had gone to garnishment. She was able to help us come to an agreeable settlement where we didn't have to pay all of the outrageous fees the collection agency were trying to get. She went above and beyond for us and was even available for questions... after the case was closed. Great attorney!

This is the attorney and person you want to work with- 100% recommend

I found Krista Gieske through this website, she was the first lawyer to respond and set up a consultation the next day knowing my case was time sensitive. Krista treated myself, my family and my case as if we were friends or family members, taking it very personal educating me on the process, keeping... me up to date and getting us the very best outcome possible. She is a compassionate highly competitive perfectionist which are the best characteristics I could ask for in an attorney. I had received notice that my wages were going to be garnished, the judgement had already gone against me without any warning. I didn't have much power considering the debt collector was already awarded the garnishment which was to start on my next paycheck. Krista earned my confidence during the consultation where she had already done research on my case, went through every scenario and spent a very long time answering and asking questions until I was fully comfortable moving forward with her and our direction. Again, I didn't expect much knowing the garnishment was already awarded but Krista built a case for me that not only did they offer a settlement, we counter offered and they accepted. The outcome exceeded my expectations, especially considering other lawyers I had initially reached out to didn't even respond based on my case or suggested looking at bankruptcy. I will recommend Krista Gieske as much as I possibly can because I know anyone who works with her will be in the best hands.
