"One day a man was walking along the beach when he noticed a boy picking something up and gently throwing it into the ocean. Approaching the boy, he asked, "What are you doing?" The youth replied, "Throwing starfish back into the ocean. The surf is up and the tide is going out. If I don't throw them back, they'll die." "Son," the man said, "don't you realize there are miles and miles of beach and hundreds of starfish? You can't make a difference!" After listening politely, the boy bent down, picked up another starfish, and threw it back into the surf. Then, smiling at the man, he said "I made a difference for that one."

Good but watch your step
Kristi was open to a payment plan and accepted a down payment and post dated checks which she said would be cashed only after a phone call or email from her. She finished half our agreement for a child support and visitation matter and cashed checks, without my OK. This cost me over $200 in overdraft...

Highly recommended Attorney by this client!
Kristi was retained by myself to hopefully bring closure, peace and finally fairness to what was a horrible original divorce decree.

We retained Kristi for a child custody case that was a mess from the start. It involved 2 children that the mother had already separated and basically abandoned one of them. Kristi listened to all of our concerns about the children and she didn't pull any stops to make sure that we didn't stop until ...
