About

My passion is in the area of family law, which I have been involved with since 1999. More specifically, to be a voice for the children of divorce. My ultimate goal is to shift the focus to the children, detour the animosity that is all too often involved in these intense and emotional cases, as these children not only get lost in the mess, but will be the ones to benefit from a lifetime of co-parenting.

Hiring Kristen to represent me was the best choice I made during the difficult first days of separation, and now that my divorce is final I'm even happier with my decision. Through the whole process I had someone on my side who is smart and capable, and who I also liked talking to as a human being. She knows the ins and outs of WA family law. She gave me thorough and realistic advice. She respected that I wanted a low-conflict divorce, although if we'd gone to court I have no doubt she would have been a tough fighter. Her billing is honest and transparent so it actually worked out (relatively) affordable. I hope this is the last time I get divorced, but I'll be happy to work with Kristen for my future family law needs.

I hired Kristen almost 4 years ago now and have had to unfortunately use her most of those years, but have always felt well represented, as she has always fought for my rights as a Father. She will go up to bat for you, leverage the strong points of your case and I cannot say enough good things about how it has helped calm me down during the process and I've always felt in good hands going into court and non court proceedings. I highly recommend her services in Family Law Court and out of court proceedings as well.

I had been divorced for 4 years but needed to negotiate post secondary education with my ex-husband. My original attorney was retired. Kristen made herself available to me on short notice and was a perfect match for what I was looking for. I was nervous and anxious. She was supportive and empathetic all the way with me and tough as nails with my ex and his attorney. The end result was that I got everything I asked for and MORE. Cannot recommend her strongly enough.

Kristen went above and beyond during our consultation and provided me with all the information I needed to win my motion for revision hearing for a parenting plan. I highly recommend her!

In my family crisis, as I run out of other options (tried every possible legal way), I had to hire a family lawyer. My choice was Ms. Bienstock. She is an amazing person with great experience, and she is absolutely the one I was looking for. She is honest, very reasonable with suggestions, actions and fees. She is walking me through this critical period of my children's and my life , like 'holding my hand'. I feel safe with her, and I have no idea what would I do without her. I super strongly recommend Ms. Bienstock.

I hired Kristen to represent me in a case where my ex wife tried to take away all my parenting rights and reduce my time with my child 96%. It was an extremely stressful case and Kristen showed patience and high EQ by helping me see the forest for the trees. I ended up with an increase in time with my child and all my rights intact. I always felt respected and well informed of all my options. It is easy to feel helpless in a legal battle, and Kristen helped me feel like I had some control by her proactive and clear communication of strategies and options. She is also tough as nails and will fight hard for you which helps inspire confidence.

Kristen has been very available and timely. She takes on my case and has even lost sleep at night making sure she is taking the right legal steps. She consistently is in touch with me, making suggestions that will be to our benefit for the legal situation we are dealing with. I have used lawyers in the past, and have felt like my money was basically thrown away. With Kristen, I feel confident to have her representing me and my money is being well used.

One of the few lawyers I have found that actually cares personally about your case. While offering very fair rates and integrity for billing, once i hired her Kristen she took over the chaos that was going on for months. Within 24 hours of her taking my case i finally felt like i could breathe. Kristen calmed me down when we had court she is confident and stands her ground, all the while keeping the oath she took when she became a lawyer. Which nowadays is difficult to find. Kristen is 100% honest when it comes to writing a decoration, she only goes on facts with supporting evidence, she did not trash talk or call my ex names in documents or in court. I can go on and on about how truly amazing Kristen is. If you want a real Attorney with ethics, morals, compassion then you have found the right Attorney. I could not be more satisfied with her.

I don't know what I'd do without her! And she has been a source of comfort and sanity through a very uncomfortable and insane process with insane ex. :)

I can't express my appreciation enough as to what Ms. Bienstock has done for me, my family and my custody case. Ms. Bienstock has shown me compassion, compromise and understanding. She is responsive and works quickly while being thorough. I highly recommend Ms. Bienstock for your child custody case. She has been an positive advocate for my child in the courts.

In my family crisis, as I run out of other options (tried every possible legal way), I had to hire a family lawyer. My choice was Ms. Bienstock. She is an amazing person with great experience, and she is absolutely the one I was looking for. She is honest, very reasonable with suggestions, actions and fees. She is walking me through this critical period of my children's and my life , like 'holding my hand'. I feel safe with her, and I have no idea what would I do without her. I super strongly recommend Ms. Bienstock.

I hired Kristen to represent me in a case where my ex wife tried to take away all my parenting rights and reduce my time with my child 96%. It was an extremely stressful case and Kristen showed patience and high EQ by helping me see the forest for the trees. I ended up with an increase in time with my child and all my rights intact. I always felt respected and well informed of all my options. It is easy to feel helpless in a legal battle, and Kristen helped me feel like I had some control by her proactive and clear communication of strategies and options. She is also tough as nails and will fight hard for you which helps inspire confidence.

Kristen has been very available and timely. She takes on my case and has even lost sleep at night making sure she is taking the right legal steps. She consistently is in touch with me, making suggestions that will be to our benefit for the legal situation we are dealing with. I have used lawyers in the past, and have felt like my money was basically thrown away. With Kristen, I feel confident to have her representing me and my money is being well used.

One of the few lawyers I have found that actually cares personally about your case. While offering very fair rates and integrity for billing, once i hired her Kristen she took over the chaos that was going on for months. Within 24 hours of her taking my case i finally felt like i could breathe. Kristen calmed me down when we had court she is confident and stands her ground, all the while keeping the oath she took when she became a lawyer. Which nowadays is difficult to find. Kristen is 100% honest when it comes to writing a decoration, she only goes on facts with supporting evidence, she did not trash talk or call my ex names in documents or in court. I can go on and on about how truly amazing Kristen is. If you want a real Attorney with ethics, morals, compassion then you have found the right Attorney. I could not be more satisfied with her.

I don't know what I'd do without her! And she has been a source of comfort and sanity through a very uncomfortable and insane process with insane ex. :)

I can't express my appreciation enough as to what Ms. Bienstock has done for me, my family and my custody case. Ms. Bienstock has shown me compassion, compromise and understanding. She is responsive and works quickly while being thorough. I highly recommend Ms. Bienstock for your child custody case. She has been an positive advocate for my child in the courts.

Hiring Kristen to represent me was the best choice I made during the difficult first days of separation, and now that my divorce is final I'm even happier with my decision. Through the whole process I had someone on my side who is smart and capable, and who I also liked talking to as a human being. She knows the ins and outs of WA family law. She gave me thorough and realistic advice. She respected that I wanted a low-conflict divorce, although if we'd gone to court I have no doubt she would have been a tough fighter. Her billing is honest and transparent so it actually worked out (relatively) affordable. I hope this is the last time I get divorced, but I'll be happy to work with Kristen for my future family law needs.

I hired Kristen almost 4 years ago now and have had to unfortunately use her most of those years, but have always felt well represented, as she has always fought for my rights as a Father. She will go up to bat for you, leverage the strong points of your case and I cannot say enough good things about how it has helped calm me down during the process and I've always felt in good hands going into court and non court proceedings. I highly recommend her services in Family Law Court and out of court proceedings as well.

I had been divorced for 4 years but needed to negotiate post secondary education with my ex-husband. My original attorney was retired. Kristen made herself available to me on short notice and was a perfect match for what I was looking for. I was nervous and anxious. She was supportive and empathetic all the way with me and tough as nails with my ex and his attorney. The end result was that I got everything I asked for and MORE. Cannot recommend her strongly enough.

I can't express my appreciation enough as to what Ms. Bienstock has done for me, my family and my custody case. Ms. Bienstock has shown me compassion, compromise and understanding. She is responsive and works quickly while being thorough. I highly recommend Ms. Bienstock for your child custody case. She has been an positive advocate for my child in the courts.

Hiring Kristen to represent me was the best choice I made during the difficult first days of separation, and now that my divorce is final I'm even happier with my decision. Through the whole process I had someone on my side who is smart and capable, and who I also liked talking to as a human being. She knows the ins and outs of WA family law. She gave me thorough and realistic advice. She respected that I wanted a low-conflict divorce, although if we'd gone to court I have no doubt she would have been a tough fighter. Her billing is honest and transparent so it actually worked out (relatively) affordable. I hope this is the last time I get divorced, but I'll be happy to work with Kristen for my future family law needs.

I hired Kristen almost 4 years ago now and have had to unfortunately use her most of those years, but have always felt well represented, as she has always fought for my rights as a Father. She will go up to bat for you, leverage the strong points of your case and I cannot say enough good things about how it has helped calm me down during the process and I've always felt in good hands going into court and non court proceedings. I highly recommend her services in Family Law Court and out of court proceedings as well.

I had been divorced for 4 years but needed to negotiate post secondary education with my ex-husband. My original attorney was retired. Kristen made herself available to me on short notice and was a perfect match for what I was looking for. I was nervous and anxious. She was supportive and empathetic all the way with me and tough as nails with my ex and his attorney. The end result was that I got everything I asked for and MORE. Cannot recommend her strongly enough.

Kristen went above and beyond during our consultation and provided me with all the information I needed to win my motion for revision hearing for a parenting plan. I highly recommend her!

In my family crisis, as I run out of other options (tried every possible legal way), I had to hire a family lawyer. My choice was Ms. Bienstock. She is an amazing person with great experience, and she is absolutely the one I was looking for. She is honest, very reasonable with suggestions, actions and fees. She is walking me through this critical period of my children's and my life , like 'holding my hand'. I feel safe with her, and I have no idea what would I do without her. I super strongly recommend Ms. Bienstock.

I hired Kristen to represent me in a case where my ex wife tried to take away all my parenting rights and reduce my time with my child 96%. It was an extremely stressful case and Kristen showed patience and high EQ by helping me see the forest for the trees. I ended up with an increase in time with my child and all my rights intact. I always felt respected and well informed of all my options. It is easy to feel helpless in a legal battle, and Kristen helped me feel like I had some control by her proactive and clear communication of strategies and options. She is also tough as nails and will fight hard for you which helps inspire confidence.

Kristen has been very available and timely. She takes on my case and has even lost sleep at night making sure she is taking the right legal steps. She consistently is in touch with me, making suggestions that will be to our benefit for the legal situation we are dealing with. I have used lawyers in the past, and have felt like my money was basically thrown away. With Kristen, I feel confident to have her representing me and my money is being well used.

One of the few lawyers I have found that actually cares personally about your case. While offering very fair rates and integrity for billing, once i hired her Kristen she took over the chaos that was going on for months. Within 24 hours of her taking my case i finally felt like i could breathe. Kristen calmed me down when we had court she is confident and stands her ground, all the while keeping the oath she took when she became a lawyer. Which nowadays is difficult to find. Kristen is 100% honest when it comes to writing a decoration, she only goes on facts with supporting evidence, she did not trash talk or call my ex names in documents or in court. I can go on and on about how truly amazing Kristen is. If you want a real Attorney with ethics, morals, compassion then you have found the right Attorney. I could not be more satisfied with her.

I super strongly recommend Ms. Bienstock.

I hired Kristen to represent me in a case where my ex wife tried to take away all my parenting rights and reduce my time with my child 96%. It was an extremely stressful case and Kristen showed patience and high EQ by helping me see the forest for the trees. I ended up with an increase in time with my child and all my rights intact. I always felt respected and well informed of all my options. It is easy to feel helpless in a legal battle, and Kristen helped me feel like I had some control by her proactive and clear communication of strategies and options. She is also tough as nails and will fight hard for you which helps inspire confidence.

Kristen has been very available and timely. She takes on my case and has even lost sleep at night making sure she is taking the right legal steps. She consistently is in touch with me, making suggestions that will be to our benefit for the legal situation we are dealing with. I have used lawyers in the past, and have felt like my money was basically thrown away. With Kristen, I feel confident to have her representing me and my money is being well used.

One of the few lawyers I have found that actually cares personally about your case. While offering very fair rates and integrity for billing, once i hired her Kristen she took over the chaos that was going on for months. Within 24 hours of her taking my case i finally felt like i could breathe. Kristen calmed me down when we had court she is confident and stands her ground, all the while keeping the oath she took when she became a lawyer. Which nowadays is difficult to find. Kristen is 100% honest when it comes to writing a decoration, she only goes on facts with supporting evidence, she did not trash talk or call my ex names in documents or in court. I can go on and on about how truly amazing Kristen is. If you want a real Attorney with ethics, morals, compassion then you have found the right Attorney. I could not be more satisfied with her.

I don't know what I'd do without her! And she has been a source of comfort and sanity through a very uncomfortable and insane process with insane ex. :)

I can't express my appreciation enough as to what Ms. Bienstock has done for me, my family and my custody case. Ms. Bienstock has shown me compassion, compromise and understanding. She is responsive and works quickly while being thorough. I highly recommend Ms. Bienstock for your child custody case. She has been an positive advocate for my child in the courts.
