Kristina Sitton Matthews's Lawyer Endorsements
"I’ve known Kristina for the entirety of her legal career and highly recommend her. As a fellow member of the State Bar, I have no reservations referring clients to her. She is a talented attorney who navigates complex criminal and family law cases passionately and effectively. Many attorneys with brilliant legal minds struggle with efficiency and efficacy. Not Kristina. She is a wicked smart straight shooter who gets the job done - and well. Clients are notoriously pleased with her work and find her relatable, honest and compassionate."
"I endorse this lawyer. Kristina is a knowledgeable, reasonable attorney who effectively advocates for her clients. She is a capable of reaching fair agreements with her clients' interests in mind or litigating if necessary. Kristina has years of criminal courtroom experience behind her as well."
"Kristina is a great lawyer who isn’t afraid to litigate on behalf of her clients. She has a great deal of trial experience in criminal and family court. Highly recommend!"
"When I get phone calls asking for a referral to a family law lawyer I recommend Kristina Matthews. I've known her for over a decade and know her to be an accomplished litigator and strong advocate for her clients. The ultimate compliment I can pay her is she is one of the very few people that I would NOT want to go up against in court. I've sent several clients to her and they have all thanked me. That says a lot."
"Kristina is well know in our community for her skill. She is highly skilled, direct and aggressive."
