Find someone else

I never met her. My case was passed to her when my attorney suddenly left the firm. She refused to answer my emails or calls. She showed up for my divorce hearing an hour late. She didn't fight for me at all. She said she wasn't feeling well. So my husband got everything and I got screwed. Thanks Kri...sta. Find another attorney. This one does not care about you.

Just Divorced

I hired Ms. Trani more than a year ago to handle my divorce and she did excellent work every step of the way. I would have been divorced earlier had my ex not dragged her feet through the entire process, but Ms. Trani was on top of her constantly. I am very thankful for the representation that I rece...ived from Ms. Trani and I'm so happy that this is behind me. I would definitely recommend Ms. Trani to anyone who is considering divorce. She was a true professional.

Patient and Understanding

A divorce is emotionally devastating, Ms. Trani prevented mine from being financially devastating as well. During my entire ordeal it was reassuring to have an attorney who was not only competent, but incredibly patient with me when I repeatedly called in a panic over new situations as they arose. M...y case was handled in a manner in which I never felt like "just another client." My case is settled, I have custody of my children, and I thank Ms.Trani for helping me rebuild my life.

Competent Counsel

I recently hired Ms. Trani for 2 separate cases -- support and domestic abuse. I was very nervous and upset, but she spent the time to talk to me and make me feel at ease. She handled all of my court documents and won both of my cases for me. I could not have done it without her. I am very happy with... the assistance she provided me and will be hiring her to handle my divorce in the future..

Do not use Krista Trani you will be devestated

Krista acts knowledgeable and concerned but once she becomes too busy trying to juggle all the cases she has taken you will get pushed aside and almost completely forgotten about. i retained her last year for divorce and its a decision i regret.Excuse after excuse will ensue and the office does a gre...at job telling you they will speak to her then get back to you immediately. She never does in a timely fashion. I highly regretted using her. She would say one thing then the next week or month it would change. Im extremely understanding and gave her chance after chance.she will give you a thick bill to pay and will demand you pay that as she continues to do nothing to help your situation. Very disheartening. Protect yourself. Get a competent lawyer that will be there to fight for you. Its not Krista Birger Trani.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
