Recently I found myself in a divorce and had an attorney that wasn't representing me properly. After 1 1/2 years in court and just before a trial date was set, I decided to seek better representation. I made contact with another attorney who was also a friend but was unable to take my case. He told me he was involved in a case that he was winning hands down. Kristina was hired by the opposition midway through the trial and immediately she turned the tide and won the case. I made contact and was immediately given a consultation. While going over the facts of my case, impressively Kristina in minutes looked up and found relative case law supporting my position in property distribution. She was so well versed in the Law and procedures that I instantaneously became comfortable with her as my attorney. After hiring Kristina, documents were prepared notifying former and opposing attorneys that she was now representing me and that all prior offers of settlement were rescinded. Within 1 hour of Ms. Jarvis becoming my attorney, the opposing law firm contacted my former attorney and attempted to accept the settlement I previously offered which was still way above what was fair and equitable because I was just beaten up and wanted it over. (1 HOUR!) My case moved forward as we started from square one. However the direction and outcome were much different than before. I had a voice in the court through Kristina and at the end I won in that I wound up paying nothing to my now ex-wife. Every situation is different and no one can promise you that your divorce will end like mine. But I can absolutely promise you this: You will not find a better attorney to represent you in divorce no matter what the circumstances. Kristina and her staff will fight for you with everything they know to get you the best possible outcome whether it pertains to child custody, division of assets, maintenance or any of the issues that arise in family law. Kristina is highly professional, knowledgeable and has unbelievable passion and drive for her clients and the law. She is honest and no nonsense. She won't let you waist time and your money being petty and vindictive and will shut down the opposition if they attempt to do so. She's straight forward and calls it the way it is. Without question, without her coming on board with my case, I would more likely be facing bankruptcy than now in a position to rebuild my life. Thank you Kristina! You and your staff are nothing short of AWESOME!
Going through any type of family joint parenting or custody issues needing legal counsel is more than likely one of the biggest stresses in life for anyone. Kristina is not only extremely knowledgeable, proactive, and professional, she is incredibly trustworthy. She understands needs of the entire family, reviews the process and plan of action based on these needs and most importantly 'gets it done'...quickly and efficiently! Kristina also 'gets the big picture' quickly and makes recommendations based on short term and long term. Kristina is very timely on all communication (ie email, phone calls, etc). I recommend Kristina for anyone in need of an attorney in matters of family.
Kristina did a great job in handling my case for me. She was very thorough and represented me in a very professional manner. She stuck to the fundamentals of the case and made sure to keep my best interests in the forefront. I am very happy with the details of the settlement. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for an attorney.
I am currently in the middle of an ugly divorce with my wife that involves the custody of our children. This is my first experience with a divorce and I went into it completely unaware of the entire process. Kristina has "held my hand" through the entire process. Make no mistake though, she is a bulldog. She is calculated and thorough. During the initial stages of my divorce process, I was a mess. My wife, whose mother is a divorce attorney, tried to bully me, smear me in the court, and make false allegations. Kristina handled my frustrations with a calm that only an experienced professional attorney would know to do. That said, I am in great shape in my divorce proceedings and it is 100% due to the knowledge, experience, and great communication from Kristina. I could not more fully endorse a family attorney. Please, if you are involved in a divorce, custody, or the financials of a divorce, reach out to Kristina.
