Wonderful and responsive

Kristin helped us with an adoption case for my oldest son. It was a complicated process and she was there to answer questions no matter what hour of the day/night and walk us through every step of the way. She was very attentive and thorough in explaining what was going on, to the point of preferring... face-to-face meetings to explain more delicate speed bumps we encountered along the way. I would 100% recommend her for any family litigation needs.

Highly Recommend!

We previously had a different lawyer for family court and switched to Kristin later on in our case. She is amazing. She is very knowledgeable about the law and is a straight shooter. She helped us tremendously in our case and always has what really is important at the heart of each of her cases. We w...ont use any other lawyer from now on. I highly recommend her.

Great Lawyer

I previously used a different lawyer for my divorce, and used Kristin for my custody battle/child support negotiations. Kristin was amazing, she not only did a great job negotiating with my ex and her lawyer but she was quick and responsive on all actions. I highly recommend her.

Don't Do It!

I hired Kristen Olsen, through Stange Law Firm, to represent me through a nasty divorce. She was very prompt and efficient in the beginning, making sure the petition and initial orders of temporary relief were filed and executed, but that was when things came to a grinding halt. The case went on for ...18 months with nothing to show but several case management dates. During those same 18 months of no progress, Stange raised the rate I was being charged, twice. After 18 months and over $30k I was no closer to being divorced that when the process began. I finally decided to terminate her employment as my representation, which was a decision I should have made much sooner. I eventually found a different attorney who managed to move my case to final resolution within two months. My recommendation is to stay away from Stange Law Firm.

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.
