Client Reviews
"Kristen was prompt, insightful and helpful . Would definitely hire again!"
"Kristin was a great communicator and very responsive through the project. She was very encouraging but unfortunately, the problem was not resolved and I never got a clear directive as to what was legally possible or required. A lot of back and forth between Kristin, myself and my accountant. Never received a final directive so that was frustrating and expensive."
"Kristin did a wonderful job. Her knowledge and experience in our field is extremely helpful to us. It would have taken much much longer to find someone with her ability without UpCounsel."
