Excellent

I worked with Kristine on an emotional case and I needed someone who would give me excellent legal advice and she did just that. She was attentive, quick to answer, provided support, and was so polite and kind. I would recommend Kristine 100 times over. I still look to her when I have questions an...d she is always there to help.

Getting the job done

Kristine was a great attorney in my child support modification and custody case. She was able to provide everything the judge needed to decide what was best for my family. Really the only issues I had was she was at times especially on pressing matters it was difficult to get in contact with and ofte...n felt ignored. An often times instead of answering questions I had on if something was done I was questioned why I’m asking. I don’t fault her for this but she was having issues with her computer during a court hearing which did not impress the judge and most certainly made me feel less confident. However she was able to save herself and get what my family needed out of the situation. My ex was not easy to work with and she made him aware she did not play games. So in this matter I would suggest her.
