I can't say enough about Kristin and her paralegal, Jana Kim. They are kind, caring, compassionate people. After my accident, I could barely think for myself. They took care of everything for me, I did very little. They worked tirelessly for me and I appreciate everything they did. If you need an attorney, Kristin is the one. I will be forever grateful. I felt more like a friend instead of just a client.
Kristin Cafferty put me at ease and made me feel better the first day I met her. Kristin and her paralegal Melissa Richer were great to work with. I was kept informed along the way and was happy with my settlement. My only regret is not contacting Kristin sooner.
I highly recommend Kristin. She’s so caring and thorough. Her para-legal Jana Kim is a great asset. Fantastic team. She got me more than I thought I would. I wish I would of not waited a year to seek help. She gave me first sense of relief since the accident and long recovery.
Provided very clear and helpful advice in regards to my car accident. English is my second language and Attorney Kristin Cafferty helped satisfy my needs.
I spent a long time looking for an attorney and after being turned away from many firms, Janna and Kristin took my case knowing that it would be a lengthy process and the payout may not be very big. Janna and Kristin were there any time I needed to contact them. They were reliable, trustworthy, and I was able to have open communication with them .
I had a great experience with Kristin Cafferty and her paralegal Angela Mayer. They treated me with great respect and I felt at all times that they were looking out for my best interests and future. I received a very favorable settlement and would highly recommend them if you need a lawyer for a car accident.
She got my settlement in a reasonable amount of time and she’s the nicest person ever, highly recommended.
Kristin and her team have been with me since 3 days after my accident. She came to my home and found out everything she could and hasn't stopped fighting for me since. I'm so glad I called her to represent me. She always kept me informed and always checked in to see how I was doing personally through out our years long case. I'm actually going to miss having her around! If you're looking for a lawyer who cares not only about your case, but also you as a person, Kristin is the one to see.
