"We always keep coming to Kristin for all our legal needs."
"We've contracted with Kristin for more than 5 times now (I've lost track as to the exact number!). I can say that we keep coming back to Kristin because of her straightforward approach to drafting legal documents. We do not want our documents to sound/look "over-lawyered" and she is a big proponent of that. We will keep coming back for more."
