About

Kristin Padowitz earned her bachelor’s degree in Criminal Justice from the University of Central Florida where she was a member of the Criminal Justice Honor Society. Subsequently, she went on to earn her law degree from Nova Southeastern University. Having gained experience in civil practice as well as criminal defense, Kristin had a desire to become a well-rounded lawyer. Because of that, Kristin Padowitz left the Broward County Public Defender’s Office to become a prosecutor at the Broward County State Attorney’s Office. During her time in the Broward County State Attorney’s Office, she tried upward of 75 cases, all in front of a jury, ranging from Capital Sexual Battery to misdemeanors, each helping to hone her skills as a trial lawyer. Kristin Padowitz is presently a member of the Broward County Bar Association as well as on a Florida Bar Grievance Committee. Kristin is also currently a member of The Weston Bar Association, Broward Women Lawyers Association, Federal Bar Association-Broward County Chapter, the Florida Bar and other organizations. Kristin Padowitz has now devoted her practice of law to helping those in need of a family attorney. Kristin eagerly advocates on behalf of her clients in need of a family lawyer in the areas of divorce, child custody, responsibility and support, alimony, equitable distribution, restraining orders and domestic violence, among others. Kristin not only utilizes her abundant legal experience in the representation of her clients, but also her kindness, compassion and humanity when it is needed most. But make no mistake – Kristin Padowitz has built her reputation within the legal community as an aggressive and talented trial lawyer who is not afraid to take a case to trial. Where circumstances require, for example, in a highly-contested divorce case, Kristin Padowitz provides zealous representation and is fierce in the court room.

I can't say enough about Kristin and her office. She is an A+ in professionalism and the way she truly made me feel like family was overwhelming! I was a wreck trying to find someone local to represent me and I could not have been more blessed to have found her. I felt completely at ease after our first conversation. She PERSONALLY took each call, email, and text and if she couldn't respond right away, she let me know when I WOULD hear back. My ex tried to cause more strife along the way but Kristin stood firm and represented me in such a way that I am forever grateful for her support! I wasn't just a client. Her compassion and empathy for what I was going through won't be forgotten but when she needed to be tough, she was the one I wanted in my corner. She is BAR NONE the best in her field and gets 5 stars from this thankful gal! Could not have done it without her! P.S. Her assistant is an absolute pleasure to work with, as well !

She helped when no one else would. My divorce was already filed. I had questions and concerns about my agreement. My previous lawyer would not help and most lawyers did not respond or said they do not handle post agreement. She not only responded quickly, but took the time I needed to review my current agreement, explain what I did not understand, listen to all my questions and concerns, and gave me an honest opinion. Not often do you find someone who will tell you, it is not worth the fight or cost when they stand to make the money. I highly recommend her and will use her if ever I need someone. I can not thank her enough for all she did.

I hired Kristen to handle a basic time sharing modification. In the middle of working on that everything went totally sideways. A simple modification turned into an emergency removal with CPIS getting involved due to the actions of my kids' mother. During this extraordinarily stressful time Kristen was kind, compassionate, and above all professional. She easily coordinated several witnesses, filed multiple emergency motions, all the while keeping me reassured and informed about the process. Kristen fought for what was in the best interest of my children and we got the result we were after. Even if everything hadn’t gone in our favor, I'd still hire her again.

I had a total loss theft claim on my 2017 landrover sport. State farm was giving me a very hard time with the claim. At one point I casually mentioned that I wanted to consult with my attorney when it was first initiated and they absolutely stone walled me and would not even speak to me any further. After a few months of desperate attempts myself trying to get help from anyone at state farm I decided to hire Kristin to officially represent me in the claim. Well upon resolution not only did she get them to cover the claim, the amount they paid out was far more than expected and for that I am truly grateful. Fantastic attorney and you absolutely cannot go wrong using her services.
