Prior to Kristi Barnard taking our case, we had three different consultations with attorneys in San Joaquin County. The three attorneys advised my husband that his case was going to difficult since we had relocated out of state and he wouldn’t be able to obtain visitation for his two minor children. Since the first time we spoke to Kristi, she provided us reassurance for our case. She didn’t make us any promises on the outcome of the case but she sure did promise to fight and get us the best she could. Kristi got us more than what we were expecting in the first two months of taking our case. She went above and beyond during hearing trials and we are extremely happy with the results. Her office has been extremely helpful to this day and kept us up to date on any matters or issues. Kristi will fight for you in court to get you what you deserve! She is passionate about her clients; she is very confident in the court room and stays up to date on your case. One of my favorite qualities is that she is very easy to communicate with. Thank you Kristi for everything you have done and continue to do for us!

What an amazing attorney Kristi is! She is kind, attentive and concise. She definitely understands her craft and goes the extra mile to help you understand the process and goes out of her way to make sure you get the result you're looking for. I would recommend her to anyone facing the difficult uphill battle of divorce. I'm very glad I made the right choice on Kristi! Thank you!

I just want to say without hesitation Kristi Barnard was willing to take my case. I got turned away by a lot of other lawyers. But she was willing to help me. She is ready, willing, and able to fight for you. She is very good at keeping me updated about what’s going on in my case. I really appreciate everything she is doing for me. I would recommend her to everyone. Thanks again Kristi Barnard. Lisa

Kristi saved my case! My previous attorney made a huge mess of my case and made me lose custody of my son, after retaining Kristi I was able to get back all my custody of my son. The opposing counsel and my ex have lied and made up horrible stories just to win the case not even caring what’s in the best interest of my son. Kristi fought hard to make sure the judge knows which side is in the wrong. If you need someone to stand up and fight hard hire Kristi.

Kristi has been amazing! My husband and I have retained her as a lawyer for two separate cases (family court and SSDI). Kristi guided us through a sometimes confusing, often frustrating and chaotic court process. With family court, she helped us come to a custody agreement with my ex that was most beneficial for my son. We were even able to settle ouside of court so it didn't drag out too long. Kristi took over my husbands SSDI case from a group that was never available and did very minimal work and she built a strong case from the ground up. She never promised us anything other than she would give 110% to make the strongest case possible. She is dedicated, straightforward and ready and willing to tell the hard truths. Kristi is down to earth and real. She is not afraid to fight for you. I hope I never need her again, but I know where to turn if I do need a lawyer in the future. I would definitely recommend her to everyone in need of a lawyer.

Kristi helped me retain possession of my dog during the divorce. Her expertise and pursuit of the truth and facts enabled the trial to be short and conclusive.

I am so glad that I found Ms. Bernard. She has guided me in my most challenging days as a Father. She is very honest , down to earth and such a people's person. She fights for her clients to get what they are seeking with out taking advantage of them with litigation costs etc. If you are seeking a lawyer because of custody issues I would call her for a consult. I did, and I'm glad that she is on my team. She is a dedicated professional and best of all very driven . THANK YOU Kristi for all you do foe our family.

UNPREPARED 100% of the time. Kristi is a terrible attorney, who gives up, is messy, does things last minute, and is very timid in court. She is extremely rude when overwhelmed or challenged, and this causes issues during court hearings. Instead of using the evidence in court, she even points the judge to a client she is representing, on a subject that she has been clearly informed on. She is unresponsive and ignorant of important details and information, and is very hypocritical. She does not follow up, is TERRIBLE at fact-checking, and leaves a lot of room for error in court documents that she submits, and will charge you more and more hours for HER poor work. I believe she knowingly makes these mistakes so that you have to ask her to correct them before submitting the forms, charging you more money in the end. Instead of discussing things, she will try to shut you down and say she is right. She is, in fact, very delusional, as she seems to believe she is good at her job. There are other reviews here, just look at her responses. Her “work” starts at the bottom, and continues to go downhill until she quits on you. I’ve never seen an attorney try to make someone pay for mistakes, until now. She is a thief, and a liar. I would never recommend someone who cannot admit that they are unprepared, unprofessional, and just not fit for the job. She is a person of rare intelligence (it’s rare that she shows any). 0/10 - I do not recommend.

Kristi guided us through a sometimes confusing, often frustrating and chaotic court process. With family court, she helped us come to a custody agreement with my ex that was most beneficial for my son. We were even able to settle ouside of court so it didn't drag out too long. Kristi took over my husbands SSDI case from a group that was never available and did very minimal work and she built a strong case from the ground up. She never promised us anything other than she would give 110% to make the strongest case possible. She is dedicated, straightforward and ready and willing to tell the hard truths. Kristi is down to earth and real. She is not afraid to fight for you. I hope I never need her again, but I know where to turn if I do need a lawyer in the future. I would definitely recommend her to everyone in need of a lawyer.

Kristi helped me retain possession of my dog during the divorce. Her expertise and pursuit of the truth and facts enabled the trial to be short and conclusive.

I am so glad that I found Ms. Bernard. She has guided me in my most challenging days as a Father. She is very honest , down to earth and such a people's person. She fights for her clients to get what they are seeking with out taking advantage of them with litigation costs etc. If you are seeking a lawyer because of custody issues I would call her for a consult. I did, and I'm glad that she is on my team. She is a dedicated professional and best of all very driven . THANK YOU Kristi for all you do foe our family.

UNPREPARED 100% of the time. Kristi is a terrible attorney, who gives up, is messy, does things last minute, and is very timid in court. She is extremely rude when overwhelmed or challenged, and this causes issues during court hearings. Instead of using the evidence in court, she even points the judge to a client she is representing, on a subject that she has been clearly informed on. She is unresponsive and ignorant of important details and information, and is very hypocritical. She does not follow up, is TERRIBLE at fact-checking, and leaves a lot of room for error in court documents that she submits, and will charge you more and more hours for HER poor work. I believe she knowingly makes these mistakes so that you have to ask her to correct them before submitting the forms, charging you more money in the end. Instead of discussing things, she will try to shut you down and say she is right. She is, in fact, very delusional, as she seems to believe she is good at her job. There are other reviews here, just look at her responses. Her “work” starts at the bottom, and continues to go downhill until she quits on you. I’ve never seen an attorney try to make someone pay for mistakes, until now. She is a thief, and a liar. I would never recommend someone who cannot admit that they are unprepared, unprofessional, and just not fit for the job. She is a person of rare intelligence (it’s rare that she shows any). 0/10 - I do not recommend.

Prior to Kristi Barnard taking our case, we had three different consultations with attorneys in San Joaquin County. The three attorneys advised my husband that his case was going to difficult since we had relocated out of state and he wouldn’t be able to obtain visitation for his two minor children. Since the first time we spoke to Kristi, she provided us reassurance for our case. She didn’t make us any promises on the outcome of the case but she sure did promise to fight and get us the best she could. Kristi got us more than what we were expecting in the first two months of taking our case. She went above and beyond during hearing trials and we are extremely happy with the results. Her office has been extremely helpful to this day and kept us up to date on any matters or issues. Kristi will fight for you in court to get you what you deserve! She is passionate about her clients; she is very confident in the court room and stays up to date on your case. One of my favorite qualities is that she is very easy to communicate with. Thank you Kristi for everything you have done and continue to do for us!

She definitely understands her craft and goes the extra mile to help you understand the process and goes out of her way to make sure you get the result you're looking for. I would recommend her to anyone facing the difficult uphill battle of divorce. I'm very glad I made the right choice on Kristi! Thank you!

Kristi saved my case! My previous attorney made a huge mess of my case and made me lose custody of my son, after retaining Kristi I was able to get back all my custody of my son. The opposing counsel and my ex have lied and made up horrible stories just to win the case not even caring what’s in the best interest of my son. Kristi fought hard to make sure the judge knows which side is in the wrong. If you need someone to stand up and fight hard hire Kristi.

Prior to Kristi Barnard taking our case, we had three different consultations with attorneys in San Joaquin County. The three attorneys advised my husband that his case was going to difficult since we had relocated out of state and he wouldn’t be able to obtain visitation for his two minor children. Since the first time we spoke to Kristi, she provided us reassurance for our case. She didn’t make us any promises on the outcome of the case but she sure did promise to fight and get us the best she could. Kristi got us more than what we were expecting in the first two months of taking our case. She went above and beyond during hearing trials and we are extremely happy with the results. Her office has been extremely helpful to this day and kept us up to date on any matters or issues. Kristi will fight for you in court to get you what you deserve! She is passionate about her clients; she is very confident in the court room and stays up to date on your case. One of my favorite qualities is that she is very easy to communicate with. Thank you Kristi for everything you have done and continue to do for us!

What an amazing attorney Kristi is! She is kind, attentive and concise. She definitely understands her craft and goes the extra mile to help you understand the process and goes out of her way to make sure you get the result you're looking for. I would recommend her to anyone facing the difficult uphill battle of divorce. I'm very glad I made the right choice on Kristi! Thank you!

I just want to say without hesitation Kristi Barnard was willing to take my case. I got turned away by a lot of other lawyers. But she was willing to help me. She is ready, willing, and able to fight for you. She is very good at keeping me updated about what’s going on in my case. I really appreciate everything she is doing for me. I would recommend her to everyone. Thanks again Kristi Barnard. Lisa

Kristi saved my case! My previous attorney made a huge mess of my case and made me lose custody of my son, after retaining Kristi I was able to get back all my custody of my son. The opposing counsel and my ex have lied and made up horrible stories just to win the case not even caring what’s in the best interest of my son. Kristi fought hard to make sure the judge knows which side is in the wrong. If you need someone to stand up and fight hard hire Kristi.

Kristi has been amazing! My husband and I have retained her as a lawyer for two separate cases (family court and SSDI). Kristi guided us through a sometimes confusing, often frustrating and chaotic court process. With family court, she helped us come to a custody agreement with my ex that was most beneficial for my son. We were even able to settle ouside of court so it didn't drag out too long. Kristi took over my husbands SSDI case from a group that was never available and did very minimal work and she built a strong case from the ground up. She never promised us anything other than she would give 110% to make the strongest case possible. She is dedicated, straightforward and ready and willing to tell the hard truths. Kristi is down to earth and real. She is not afraid to fight for you. I hope I never need her again, but I know where to turn if I do need a lawyer in the future. I would definitely recommend her to everyone in need of a lawyer.

I am so glad that I found Ms. Bernard. She has guided me in my most challenging days as a Father. She is very honest , down to earth and such a people's person. She fights for her clients to get what they are seeking with out taking advantage of them with litigation costs etc. If you are seeking a lawyer because of custody issues I would call her for a consult. I did, and I'm glad that she is on my team. She is a dedicated professional and best of all very driven . THANK YOU Kristi for all you do foe our family.

UNPREPARED 100% of the time. Kristi is a terrible attorney, who gives up, is messy, does things last minute, and is very timid in court. She is extremely rude when overwhelmed or challenged, and this causes issues during court hearings. Instead of using the evidence in court, she even points the judge to a client she is representing, on a subject that she has been clearly informed on. She is unresponsive and ignorant of important details and information, and is very hypocritical. She does not follow up, is TERRIBLE at fact-checking, and leaves a lot of room for error in court documents that she submits, and will charge you more and more hours for HER poor work. I believe she knowingly makes these mistakes so that you have to ask her to correct them before submitting the forms, charging you more money in the end. Instead of discussing things, she will try to shut you down and say she is right. She is, in fact, very delusional, as she seems to believe she is good at her job. There are other reviews here, just look at her responses. Her “work” starts at the bottom, and continues to go downhill until she quits on you. I’ve never seen an attorney try to make someone pay for mistakes, until now. She is a thief, and a liar. I would never recommend someone who cannot admit that they are unprepared, unprofessional, and just not fit for the job. She is a person of rare intelligence (it’s rare that she shows any). 0/10 - I do not recommend.

Kristi is down to earth and real. She is not afraid to fight for you. I hope I never need her again, but I know where to turn if I do need a lawyer in the future. I would definitely recommend her to everyone in need of a lawyer.

Kristi helped me retain possession of my dog during the divorce. Her expertise and pursuit of the truth and facts enabled the trial to be short and conclusive.

I am so glad that I found Ms. Bernard. She has guided me in my most challenging days as a Father. She is very honest , down to earth and such a people's person. She fights for her clients to get what they are seeking with out taking advantage of them with litigation costs etc. If you are seeking a lawyer because of custody issues I would call her for a consult. I did, and I'm glad that she is on my team. She is a dedicated professional and best of all very driven . THANK YOU Kristi for all you do foe our family.

UNPREPARED 100% of the time. Kristi is a terrible attorney, who gives up, is messy, does things last minute, and is very timid in court. She is extremely rude when overwhelmed or challenged, and this causes issues during court hearings. Instead of using the evidence in court, she even points the judge to a client she is representing, on a subject that she has been clearly informed on. She is unresponsive and ignorant of important details and information, and is very hypocritical. She does not follow up, is TERRIBLE at fact-checking, and leaves a lot of room for error in court documents that she submits, and will charge you more and more hours for HER poor work. I believe she knowingly makes these mistakes so that you have to ask her to correct them before submitting the forms, charging you more money in the end. Instead of discussing things, she will try to shut you down and say she is right. She is, in fact, very delusional, as she seems to believe she is good at her job. There are other reviews here, just look at her responses. Her “work” starts at the bottom, and continues to go downhill until she quits on you. I’ve never seen an attorney try to make someone pay for mistakes, until now. She is a thief, and a liar. I would never recommend someone who cannot admit that they are unprepared, unprofessional, and just not fit for the job. She is a person of rare intelligence (it’s rare that she shows any). 0/10 - I do not recommend.

Prior to Kristi Barnard taking our case, we had three different consultations with attorneys in San Joaquin County. The three attorneys advised my husband that his case was going to difficult since we had relocated out of state and he wouldn’t be able to obtain visitation for his two minor children. Since the first time we spoke to Kristi, she provided us reassurance for our case. She didn’t make us any promises on the outcome of the case but she sure did promise to fight and get us the best she could. Kristi got us more than what we were expecting in the first two months of taking our case. She went above and beyond during hearing trials and we are extremely happy with the results. Her office has been extremely helpful to this day and kept us up to date on any matters or issues. Kristi will fight for you in court to get you what you deserve! She is passionate about her clients; she is very confident in the court room and stays up to date on your case. One of my favorite qualities is that she is very easy to communicate with. Thank you Kristi for everything you have done and continue to do for us!

What an amazing attorney Kristi is! She is kind, attentive and concise. She definitely understands her craft and goes the extra mile to help you understand the process and goes out of her way to make sure you get the result you're looking for. I would recommend her to anyone facing the difficult uphill battle of divorce. I'm very glad I made the right choice on Kristi! Thank you!

She is ready, willing, and able to fight for you. She is very good at keeping me updated about what’s going on in my case. I really appreciate everything she is doing for me. I would recommend her to everyone. Thanks again Kristi Barnard. Lisa

Kristi saved my case! My previous attorney made a huge mess of my case and made me lose custody of my son, after retaining Kristi I was able to get back all my custody of my son. The opposing counsel and my ex have lied and made up horrible stories just to win the case not even caring what’s in the best interest of my son. Kristi fought hard to make sure the judge knows which side is in the wrong. If you need someone to stand up and fight hard hire Kristi.

Kristi has been amazing! My husband and I have retained her as a lawyer for two separate cases (family court and SSDI). Kristi guided us through a sometimes confusing, often frustrating and chaotic court process. With family court, she helped us come to a custody agreement with my ex that was most beneficial for my son. We were even able to settle ouside of court so it didn't drag out too long. Kristi took over my husbands SSDI case from a group that was never available and did very minimal work and she built a strong case from the ground up. She never promised us anything other than she would give 110% to make the strongest case possible. She is dedicated, straightforward and ready and willing to tell the hard truths.
