Client Reviews
"I had another wonderful experience working with Kristin. 11/10 would recommend again."
"Kristin is the best. I'm glad I worked with her and will most definitely continue to in the future."
"We continue to be delighted by Kristin's responsiveness and pro-active, business-focused manner."
"Just after we started working together, I had a health setback that put my continuation of the business in jeopardy. I told her I wanted to wait until I had confirmation from my doctor that I could continue. ON July 26, she wrote back saying, "Clearly your health is the priority at the moment. Take care, there is no hurry and I will await further direction for you." It took less than two weeks to get medical clearance from my doctor, and I wrote to tell her I was ready to get back to work. I asked a number of questions, and returned something she had sent to me for further comment. At about the same time, I got the bill from upcounsel, which to me signified the job was over. She has not responded to any of my emails. As far as I understand, the work I needed done is not over, but she has apparently closed the job without comment."
"Good advice for our organization."
"She's great! Thanks so much!"
