Kristine was very responsive to me and is very knowledgeable on the subject matter. She was able to talk to me the same day I contacted her and she charged a reasonable fee for her counsel. She assessed everything very methodically to identify and address any potential liability for me, and then she gave me a clear solid plan of how to proceed. I now feel confident that I am executing the proper process, and I feel I am in good hands with her.

I was told by my boss that I needed to quit. THey did that to try to set me up to fight unemployment compensation. I didn't know what to do and called this attorney. She was great. She helped me realize that I should not quit and also asked me questions which I learned my boss was also breaking the labor laws and I have a case I did not even know I had. The best. She helped me resolve my legal matters and I am very thankful and feel blessed I could have had her represent me. I recommend her to everyone.

I had some concerns about the employment contract my employer asked me to sign and asked Kristine to review the clauses that were of concern. She was able to succinctly address these issues and I am more than satisfied with her advice and would definitely work with her again.

I found Kristine after googling a legal question. My search results brought me here to Avvo and she was one of a few lawyers who provided an answer; hers was a very detailed answer and stood out. I was initially hesitant but decided to give her a call seeing that she provides a free consultation. Kristine exceeded my expectations and not too long after my initial phone call, I had a settlement check in my mailbox. I was blown away by her continuous follow up via email and telephone in regards to my case and her knowledge of the law in general. I never thought I'd be the "type" of person to use a lawyer with an employer, but I am very glad I did. I am so thankful I found Kristine and hired her as my lawyer! I really felt protected and well represented by her. I don't usually leave reviews, but it's the least I can do for how much she helped me. I truly hope sharing my experience helps and encourages others to hire her as well.

Kristine was amazing. She offered me 1/2 hour service to review my contract (sent via email) and to offer advice via follow-up phone call. She was amazingly thorough and she clearly answered my questions and understood my concerns. Her advice was solid and she provided a plan for me to move forward to resolve my Corp-to-Corp contract situation. I was so appreciative when she let me know that she would be there for me again should our plan not work out. I wasn't sure if engaging an Attorney located in So. California while I'm located in No. California, but it worked out wonderfully...thanks Kristine!!!

Thank you Kristine for responding so quickly. I was almost embarrassed to post my question and take time out of a busy attorney's schedule, but you were quick to respond with detail.

Attorney Kristine Karila is a reflection of true professionalism. During utilization of her services, Kristine provided weekly updates, returned phone calls in a very timely manner keeping information flowing, always well informed through the entire process from start to finish. I would recommend attorney Kristine Karila without any hesitation to family and/or friends.
