Testimonials From our Clients

I needed to hire a last minute attorney for a civil court hearing that was going to be heard in 4 days. I contacted Attorney Kristin and she was able to accommodate me the same day for a consultation. Throughout my court case hearing, Attorney Kristin, Legal Assistant Danielle, and her team were very informative and had constant communication with me. To top it off, using her experience and knowledge in that field, Kristin was able to win my case and got me some attorney fees. I am extremely grateful and blessed to have hired Kristin to represent me for her professionalism, the professionalism of her staff, and the overall wonderful experience by having Kristin on my side. Thank you Kristin and team for an awesome job well done.

I would like to express My sincere gratitude for the manner in which Ms. Kristin Trutanich handled my civil trial. With no more than ten days before going to trial I frantically called a fair number of lawyers. Few answered; those that did were dismissive and uncompassionate. Kristin was my last, and longest, phone call made that day. She genuinely cared about my situation and wanted to help, we set up a consultation for the same day. That day, as well as the following week, she took the time to file paperwork on my behalf, ask questions to clarify details, and truly immerse herself in the nuances of my situation. During the trial I had nary a worry as she skillfully navigated the proceedings, even with an unexpected curve-ball by the opposition. We both walked out of court that day with our chins up, smiling. Having Kristin represent me was a great experience, I'll gladly keep her business card on hand and tell everyone I know about her for years to come. You hired a great asset, please forward my appreciation to her management team!

I hired Kristin to represent me in my divorce and highly contested custody case. I am so happy that I was given her name by several associates. Kristin fought for me and got me a great result. Not only does Kristin care about her clients, she is extremely smart and very persuasive in court. Thank you Kristin!
