Posted by Aron | December 17, 2019 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Ms. Kristi Fox is by Far the BEST of the BEST for Father's Rights and Child Custody Issues

Like many other of these reviews, I had nothing but an extremely excellent and positive experience working with Attorney Kristi A. Fox, who assisted me with a divorce, custody case and two motion cases after my divorce. She stood up for me as a Dad, she understands the struggles father's face in MN ...Courts and she did an amazing job at navigating me through each of my cases. Her fees were less than half of the lowest fees I was able to find before hiring her. She took payments for these fees and even waived some of her fees. My life is so much better, with my children in it, because of Attorney Kristi Fox. I would hire her again in a heartbeat and would strongly recommend her to any father in the MN Court system. I don't know where I would be or what I would have ever done without this lawyer's help!

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. With a child support payment much higher than state mandated, visitation rights being denied, and basically my ex wife trying to push me out of my kids' lives, Kristi d...id the impossible. She fought for my parental rights and amazingly got my child support lowered hundreds a month to exactly what the state says it should be. All of this in the toughest county against men in divorces in MN. She did what I thought would be impossible. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a fair judgement in a family court of law, especially to anyone who thinks they have been unfairly ruled against in a divorce case.

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.
