About

My goal is to provide clients with a balance of advocacy and sound practical advice.  When going through a divorce -- one of the most difficult times in anyone's life -- people need compassionate representation, guidance from someone who can weigh the costs and benefits of pursuing a legal remedy, help in reaching a mutually agreeable resolution, and an aggressive advocate on their side when the situation warrants it.  My background includes significant experience with complex issues such as trusts, prenuptial agreements, business valuations and stock rights (options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, phantom stock, etc.).  Most recently I wrote the Executive Compensation Handbook published by the American Bar Association.

Kristi worked on my unconventional divorce. She was prompt and professional. She helped to draft the divorce the way I wanted it. She was respectful to my now ex-husband. Her manner and respect helped to craft a great environment for my family to move forward together despite the marriage ending. I would recommend her whole heartedly!

Kristi is very professional and understanding. She consistently answered all my questions and was very helpful in keeping me focused on making decisions based on facts and logic rather than on emotion. She did, however, continue to acknowledge and validate the very difficult emotional situation I was in related to my case. It was very comforting to be able to contact her whenever and have questions answered. She kept me informed at every step of the way and although my case is not yet resolved I am confident she will continue to assist me with the same level of support and professionalism until it is.

I had interviewed several attorney's and when I met with Kristi I knew I wanted her to represent me. She spoke with confidence about my Prenuptial agreement in that it was valid and defensible. Kristi works with opposing counsel to find solutions however, by all accounts my divorce was complex and with high-conflict. We were able to establish a parenting plan through the use of mediation which was a great accomplishment. However, we did end up in court over finances and assets where the Prenuptial agreement was upheld and Kristi was skillful and sharp. I am a male and can say that I received an very fair ruling from the court. One that will allow me to pick up the pieces and rebuild from a very painful experience. Conference calls and meetings were always on topic and lasted only as long as they needed to. Kristi has great advice and lets you know she is in your corner and has your best interests in mind.

There are many of us out there- intelligent, beautiful women with careers, who fall for a man with smooth words- and when we fall for that man, and his promise of a dream, there may come a time when we WAKE.UP!! and find ourselves alone, isolated: Beaten down. An identity, and a dream lost with two words and a legal contract. Sometimes we are mothers or entrepreneurs or just housewives. (But what we ARE NOT anymore is....ourselves.) So we look back at that gorgeous, smart woman that we once were; we grasp for any strength left...for our daughters...for our mothers...FOR OUR FUTURE SELVES....and we call Kristi Wells, Attorney at Law, J.D. And we talk, and we set up a plan, and we gain hope, we conquer fear, we laugh again; we look to a new, spectacular future. With our babies. Or our business. Or just...ourselves. And we WIN!!!! THAT is what happens when you hire Kristi Wells as your attorney. You. Get. Your. Life. Back. (Period) AND IT IS AMAZING!!! Thank you Kristi and Co. for guiding me, holding my hand, helping me stand again, forcing me to run, and -eventually- teaching me how to dance again. Xo

Kristi responded promptly and thoroughly responded to all of my questions and concerns. She was straightforward on the laws and what to expect throughout the divorce process. Kristi is very knowledgeable in her field and had complete confidence in her to advise me. I was very satisfied with the outcome of my divorce, particularly the child custody dispute aspect. I would recommend Kristi to anyone going through a divorce!

Kristi has given me excellent counsel on a tough, emotional legal issues. Knowing divorce law and the options is one thing. Knowing that the law and the options don't make divorce any easier is another. Kristi knows both and I am thankful too have her excellent counsel.

Unfortunately I had a highly negative experience working with Kristi and her firm. I found her to be overly combative, a poor listener and communicator, and inefficient with fees compared to other attorney's I've worked with. I wouldn't recommend working with her based on my experience.
