About
Maryland attorney Kristine J. Rea believes it is her responsibility to know every detail of her clients’ cases as well as they can, since divorce and custody cases carry lifelong ramifications.“I am committed to making that process as easy for them as possible by demonstrating compassion, being an adept litigator, and having constant communication with my clients so that they know the status of their case each step of the way,” Ms. Rea said.Often times in domestic cases, because the issues are so personal, Ms Rea said the situation can escalate to the point, where it is hard for the client to see the light at the end of the tunnel.“I do my best to help them understand that it will get better and there is someone fighting for their rights,” she said.

Reviews
Compassionate. Professional. Fierce. Proactive. Sharp. Kristine is an attorney who demonstrates an outstanding balance of these qualities. As most people my situation was exhausting in more ways than one. This litigation lasted about 2 1/2 years. Kristine knew instantly what direction to go in, stuck to the facts, and a big reason why we were able to settle before trial was thanks to Kristine's outstanding representation. Some proposals from the opposing party at settlement were absolutely absurd. Kristine knew what to do, and after Kristine dealt with opposing counsel, they immediately withdrew all ridiculous settlement proposals. Kristine handled my case as if it was second nature, while at the same time remaining compassionate and understanding. She was very concerned about my daughter and what was best for her and acted accordingly, and thanks to her i gained even more precious time with my child. Kristine will be my attorney for as long as she practices!
My divorce proceedings lasted over four years and I switched to Kristine's representation for the last two. She was wonderful. Very much on top of everything with great advice throughout. We ended up with well over ten thousand pages of discovery for each side and she had a clear understanding of all of it. All together we had more than eight court hearings, most lasting an entire day, and she was excellent on both direct and cross.
Kristine is an overall great, dedicated family attorney and an ever better person. Kristine helped me get through a catastrophic family situation, where there was seemingly no light at the end of the tunnel. Since the marital separation, I had one year where I had very limited access to my child and another year where I had virtually no access to my child. All this due to completely fabricated false-allegations of practically every type of misconduct imaginable. We had to deal with dozens of officials from all kinds of agencies to get this mess sorted out. At many points it was extremely complicated and pressure-packed, and there were boundaries that were crossed that most family attorney's never have to deal with. At the end, the result was that Kristine completely flipped the tables over and turned what many regarded as one of the worst cases in her firm's history into a very positive outcome for me and my child. The case concluded with a major and costly hearing being avoided, when all parties came to an agreement. The current situation is that the child has been doing much better after having access to both parents. I highly recommend Kristine, especially if you have a tough, non-cooperative ex that needs to be dealt with.
