I can’t recommend Kristen enough. She is the perfect combination of empathetic and professionally assertive. She is knowledgeable, reliable and very communicative. My case (which we won) required a ton of work from Kristen...this was the toughest year of my life and words can’t explain how much Kristen has helped me and my family. I highly highly recommend her.

So when it shows “practice areas” for which area of law Kristen practices, it should state 100% in each area. She puts 100% in every case and into every detail! Kristen is a 2nd generation attorney and actively utilizes that knowledge and experience to help her clients get what is in their family’s best interest. This woman is highly intelligent, uncommonly ethical, diligent and above all she practices with a huge heart-in Family Law that is essential! In my particular case I have gone through 3 prior attorney’s that had no ability to handle the horribly unethical (and when it comes down to it, completely bizarre) practices of my ex-husband’s attorney. (Hewitt vs Boyer out of the Vista Court if you’d like to access the public information on who he is represented by). Kristen came in cold to a high high high-conflict case TWO YEARS in the making. Totally under the radar she took my case by storm, totally shut down my ex’s attorney (oh how satisfying that has been to watch!) and skillfully gaines our judge’s respect and therefore, ear. Don’t mistake Kristen’s soft demeanor for a weakness, I’ve seen her in action and she is no joke in court!! Kristen continues to fight hard for my girls and I every day in this case and there is NO way we would have gotten this far without her! My daughters and I owe the well-being of our family to Kristen! If you need someone who will genuinely HEAR you, go above and beyond to gain the best outcome for your family, CALL KRISTEN!! She is not looking to “win” for her ego (unlike my ex’s attorney) but she fights hard for what’s best for your family! THANK YOU KRISTEN M GATES!!!

Ms. Gates represented me on a temporary restraining order she was prepared and passionate about my case She takes her job incredibly serious and understands how sensitive these situations can be that involve children. My parents showed up and both thought she was amazing. Ms. Gates is a straight shooter and gives you her honest opinion. She is also incredible in the courtroom I recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced honest family law attorney.

Ms. Gates was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and timely. Well versed in family law. My specific case was not highly involved but she still treated it with high priority. I would highly recommend her services to anyone with family law needs.

Ms. Gates is an exceptional attorney. She has represented me for a number of years and her knowledge in Family Law has been very advantageous to me. Ms. Gates has always been able to answer all of my questions and has presented me with information in the subject matter that I didn't know to ask. She has also been very timely with her work and responding to me via email. I will most definitely keep her on retainer for any Family Law matters that I may encounter in the future. I Highly recommend Ms. Gates to represent you in court. I am confident she will get you the best outcome under the law!

I called this attorney for a consultation . She was very kind, knowledgeable and, most importantly understanding.. She provided me with excellent ideas and strategies that she would use in my case. She offered her services to me, as well as spent the time to understand little details in my complex case. Out of the attorneys I've used in the past, which has been more than 10, she was by far the one I've felt most comfortable with during consultation. I would highly recommend her, and will be using her in the future when needed!

Coming from someone who is going through my second divorce and custody dispute while using 5 lawyers. Kristen is amazing! She came very prepared and wasn't afraid to take any stance that she believed was right. Highly recommend!

Ms. Gates was extremely professional and took the time to understand my case which was very complex. She was always promptly returning emails with any questions I had which I found comforting with all I was going through. If you need an attorney with the answer she is it and she knows when to stand firm. A++++

I called Ms Gates and we talked. She seen me the next day and she made feel very comfortable with my child custody. I hired Gates 5 minutes after talking with her. I went from supervision visits with my 5 year old son to 50/50 joint legal Phisicle custody. Ms gates got what I wanted and personly kept in contact with me. Voice calls texts day or night and even on weekends. Through my years if legal issues with my children I've never ever been treated better and the advice was priceless!!!!!! She ROCKS!!!! Thank you Miss Gates

Kristen was quick to respond. Flexible in her consultation times & won my case using her years of experience and professional reasoning. Great mediator and communicator! Highly recommended! Caring and compassionate.

In my particular case I have gone through 3 prior attorney’s that had no ability to handle the horribly unethical (and when it comes down to it, completely bizarre) practices of my ex-husband’s attorney. (Hewitt vs Boyer out of the Vista Court if you’d like to access the public information on who he is represented by). Kristen came in cold to a high high high-conflict case TWO YEARS in the making. Totally under the radar she took my case by storm, totally shut down my ex’s attorney (oh how satisfying that has been to watch!) and skillfully gaines our judge’s respect and therefore, ear. Don’t mistake Kristen’s soft demeanor for a weakness, I’ve seen her in action and she is no joke in court!! Kristen continues to fight hard for my girls and I every day in this case and there is NO way we would have gotten this far without her! My daughters and I owe the well-being of our family to Kristen! If you need someone who will genuinely HEAR you, go above and beyond to gain the best outcome for your family, CALL KRISTEN!! She is not looking to “win” for her ego (unlike my ex’s attorney) but she fights hard for what’s best for your family! THANK YOU KRISTEN M GATES!!!

Ms. Gates represented me on a temporary restraining order she was prepared and passionate about my case She takes her job incredibly serious and understands how sensitive these situations can be that involve children. My parents showed up and both thought she was amazing. Ms. Gates is a straight shooter and gives you her honest opinion. She is also incredible in the courtroom I recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced honest family law attorney.

Ms. Gates was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and timely. Well versed in family law. My specific case was not highly involved but she still treated it with high priority. I would highly recommend her services to anyone with family law needs.

Ms. Gates is an exceptional attorney. She has represented me for a number of years and her knowledge in Family Law has been very advantageous to me. Ms. Gates has always been able to answer all of my questions and has presented me with information in the subject matter that I didn't know to ask. She has also been very timely with her work and responding to me via email. I will most definitely keep her on retainer for any Family Law matters that I may encounter in the future. I Highly recommend Ms. Gates to represent you in court. I am confident she will get you the best outcome under the law!

I called this attorney for a consultation . She was very kind, knowledgeable and, most importantly understanding.. She provided me with excellent ideas and strategies that she would use in my case. She offered her services to me, as well as spent the time to understand little details in my complex case. Out of the attorneys I've used in the past, which has been more than 10, she was by far the one I've felt most comfortable with during consultation. I would highly recommend her, and will be using her in the future when needed!

Coming from someone who is going through my second divorce and custody dispute while using 5 lawyers. Kristen is amazing! She came very prepared and wasn't afraid to take any stance that she believed was right. Highly recommend!

Ms. Gates was extremely professional and took the time to understand my case which was very complex. She was always promptly returning emails with any questions I had which I found comforting with all I was going through. If you need an attorney with the answer she is it and she knows when to stand firm. A++++

I called Ms Gates and we talked. She seen me the next day and she made feel very comfortable with my child custody. I hired Gates 5 minutes after talking with her. I went from supervision visits with my 5 year old son to 50/50 joint legal Phisicle custody. Ms gates got what I wanted and personly kept in contact with me. Voice calls texts day or night and even on weekends. Through my years if legal issues with my children I've never ever been treated better and the advice was priceless!!!!!! She ROCKS!!!! Thank you Miss Gates

Kristen was quick to respond. Flexible in her consultation times & won my case using her years of experience and professional reasoning. Great mediator and communicator! Highly recommended! Caring and compassionate.

I can’t recommend Kristen enough. She is the perfect combination of empathetic and professionally assertive. She is knowledgeable, reliable and very communicative. My case (which we won) required a ton of work from Kristen...this was the toughest year of my life and words can’t explain how much Kristen has helped me and my family. I highly highly recommend her.

So when it shows “practice areas” for which area of law Kristen practices, it should state 100% in each area. She puts 100% in every case and into every detail!

Totally under the radar she took my case by storm, totally shut down my ex’s attorney (oh how satisfying that has been to watch!) and skillfully gaines our judge’s respect and therefore, ear. Don’t mistake Kristen’s soft demeanor for a weakness, I’ve seen her in action and she is no joke in court!! Kristen continues to fight hard for my girls and I every day in this case and there is NO way we would have gotten this far without her! My daughters and I owe the well-being of our family to Kristen! If you need someone who will genuinely HEAR you, go above and beyond to gain the best outcome for your family, CALL KRISTEN!! She is not looking to “win” for her ego (unlike my ex’s attorney) but she fights hard for what’s best for your family! THANK YOU KRISTEN M GATES!!!

Ms. Gates represented me on a temporary restraining order she was prepared and passionate about my case She takes her job incredibly serious and understands how sensitive these situations can be that involve children. My parents showed up and both thought she was amazing. Ms. Gates is a straight shooter and gives you her honest opinion. She is also incredible in the courtroom I recommend her to anyone looking for an experienced honest family law attorney.

Ms. Gates was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and timely. Well versed in family law. My specific case was not highly involved but she still treated it with high priority. I would highly recommend her services to anyone with family law needs.

Ms. Gates is an exceptional attorney. She has represented me for a number of years and her knowledge in Family Law has been very advantageous to me. Ms. Gates has always been able to answer all of my questions and has presented me with information in the subject matter that I didn't know to ask. She has also been very timely with her work and responding to me via email. I will most definitely keep her on retainer for any Family Law matters that I may encounter in the future. I Highly recommend Ms. Gates to represent you in court. I am confident she will get you the best outcome under the law!

I called this attorney for a consultation . She was very kind, knowledgeable and, most importantly understanding.. She provided me with excellent ideas and strategies that she would use in my case. She offered her services to me, as well as spent the time to understand little details in my complex case. Out of the attorneys I've used in the past, which has been more than 10, she was by far the one I've felt most comfortable with during consultation. I would highly recommend her, and will be using her in the future when needed!

Coming from someone who is going through my second divorce and custody dispute while using 5 lawyers. Kristen is amazing! She came very prepared and wasn't afraid to take any stance that she believed was right. Highly recommend!

Ms. Gates was extremely professional and took the time to understand my case which was very complex. She was always promptly returning emails with any questions I had which I found comforting with all I was going through. If you need an attorney with the answer she is it and she knows when to stand firm. A++++

I called Ms Gates and we talked. She seen me the next day and she made feel very comfortable with my child custody. I hired Gates 5 minutes after talking with her. I went from supervision visits with my 5 year old son to 50/50 joint legal Phisicle custody. Ms gates got what I wanted and personly kept in contact with me. Voice calls texts day or night and even on weekends. Through my years if legal issues with my children I've never ever been treated better and the advice was priceless!!!!!! She ROCKS!!!! Thank you Miss Gates

Kristen was quick to respond. Flexible in her consultation times & won my case using her years of experience and professional reasoning. Great mediator and communicator! Highly recommended! Caring and compassionate.

I can’t recommend Kristen enough. She is the perfect combination of empathetic and professionally assertive. She is knowledgeable, reliable and very communicative. My case (which we won) required a ton of work from Kristen...this was the toughest year of my life and words can’t explain how much Kristen has helped me and my family. I highly highly recommend her.

So when it shows “practice areas” for which area of law Kristen practices, it should state 100% in each area. She puts 100% in every case and into every detail! Kristen is a 2nd generation attorney and actively utilizes that knowledge and experience to help her clients get what is in their family’s best interest. This woman is highly intelligent, uncommonly ethical, diligent and above all she practices with a huge heart-in Family Law that is essential!
