Hire Someone Else

Ms. Long was without a doubt the most stressful part of the experience of my divorce. She took my money then proceeded to ignore me for a month. When I finally threatened to fire her she filed the paperwork I had supplied then proceeded to ignore me again. She ignored me for so long that my ex and I... decided to muddle through on our own. Then when I did fire her she quickly sent me a mostly cut and paste divorce settlement agreement that was largely incorrect (with the word DRAFT all over it so i couldn't file it) and billed me more than my remaining retainer amount. Save your money and go with someone else.

I am sorry for the bad experience you had with our firm. I understand that divorce proceedings can take longer than hoped and be a frustrating process. Unfortunately, the law requires a six month waiting period before a divorce can be finalized. You are welcome to contact me directly to discuss your specific concerns about your case.

Professional and Knowledgeable Court Winning Attorney

I retained Kristin Long to assist with obtaining a restraining order against a family member after years of harassment, verbal abuse, and physical confrontations. Through her continued efforts over a 4 year period, the restraining order was made permanent in 2019. Kristin's guidance was clear an...d effective. She kindly helped us separate our emotions and personal issues from the task of putting together an effective strategy to win the judgement. At trial, Kristin brought to court 100s of documents including testimonies, and pertinent background information, in addition to securing witnesses critical to presenting and winning our case. We went to trial twice and won twice. Kristin at all times had the utmost respect and consideration for the emotional aspects, and difficulties for myself and family during the process. I highly recommend Kristin Long.

Excellent attorney

I am an attorney who had the pleasure of working together with Kristin on a family law matter recently. Kristin is patient, knowledgeable, and compassionate. Our case was very high conflict; she helped to resolve problems in a calm and professional manner. I was impressed with Kristin's knowledge ...of family law and her demeanor in court. Kristin is also quite humble and always focused on the client's needs. I would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a family law attorney in the Santa Cruz area.

Highly recommended family lawyer

Kristin is an excellent attorney who assisted me throughout the entire process of my divorce (dissolution of registered domestic partnership.) My case was complicated by domestic violence, restraining order, child custody and child support. I found her to be extremely knowledgeable, current, and et...hical in every aspect. Kristin was able to gather the information, educate/inform me of the laws, and give recommendations. She always allowed me to make every decision on how I wanted to proceed through the case. I especially appreciated her concern for the well being of my children.
