Client Reviews
"We absolutely loved working with Kristen: her experience showed with the first interview and we could tell she was looking at a bigger picture right from the start. Her rates are incredibly reasonable and we're retaining her as our go-to legal expert for our fast-growing company!"
"I have really enjoyed working with Kristin. She is extremely knowledgeable and I would highly recommend her."
"Great work again on this second project with Kristin."
"Kristin's numerous 5-star reviews are well justified. She's a savvy and personable attorney with considerable experience. Even though we used her for a small project, we got a lot of value from the experience, and will likely end up as another one of her repeat hires on UpCounsel."
"."
"Outstanding and Professional. Most importantly knew exactly what I needed, made improvement suggestions, and was responsive with questions."
