Simply the best

Kristine was recommended to me by a family member, who was a former colleague of hers. I had a complicated nature of divorce that would have been difficult even if COVID was not mixed in. She was quick to respond to any emails and submitted all court documents in a very timely manner. I was very t...hankful that she was able to communicate with my ex so that I did not need to contact him. She made this a quick and painless process on my end. I am very grateful for her services. I would recommend her to anyone going through a divorce. If I ever find myself in this situation again (which hopefully I won't!) I would hire her instantly.

Exceptional Service!

I’m from out of state and had no knowledge of attorneys in this area. Kristine made me feel comfortable with my selection by immediately setting up a Zoom call for our first consultation / meeting. Throughout the process she was very thorough and quick to respond if I had questions. She was extremely... effective in getting my divorce finalized in a short amount of time. I highly recommend Kristine’s services if you are looking for a divorce attorney who is compassionate, professional, and experienced. And the rates are very fair and reasonable.

Miss

If your searching for an effective, thorough attorney, who will Fight for You, Kristine is your choice! Kristine returns phone calls and emails promptly. She will not leave you waiting. Kristine will keep you "In the Loop" of what to expect, without giving false promises. She is compassionate, re...spectful, patient, ethical and has a way in the courtroom in the most difficult of nasty divorce circumstances. If you do end up having to go to trial as I did, Kristine is who you will want fighting for you in the courtroom. Kristine won in a Big Way saving me $$$ I Highly recommend you choose Kristine!!!

Highly recommend for family law

I came to Kristine in the middle of my divorce from a horrible attorney and person. In less than the time I wasted with the first attorney she got more things done and resolved all while being very empathetic during such a difficult time. After 1.5 years with the first attorney and nothing resolved s...he came in and within a month I started receiving child support. I would totally recommend her services. She made the whole process seemless.

  • 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.
