Areas of Practice
MeDIATION
Kristen has extensive training in mediation and has mediated several community cases and settled dozens of cases in small claims court that are not related to matrimonial and family law matters. She is available to help you resolve a variety of disputes, including business, housing, and financial.
Matrimonial LAW/Collaborative Law
Collaborative Law is a great option for couples who would like to have attorney advocacy, but also remain out of court and save time, money, and minimize the hostility that is so often a part of divorce. Each party chooses a Collaborative Attorney, as well as a Financial Neutral, Child Specialist, and Divorce Coach as needed to build a team that guides and supports you through the process of reaching a settlement that best serves your family.
FAMILY LAW/CHILDREN
Parenting plans and decisions around children can be mediated, whether you are married or not. For most couples that are co-parenting children, staying out of court remains the best and least expensive option.
Pre/postnuptial agreements
Kristen is able to mediate a Prenuptial Agreement (prior to marriage) or Postnuptial Agreement (after marriage), as well as represent one party to the Agreement. The couple engages in meaningful discussion around what is important to them and what works best for them, which results in a productive and durable Agreement.
DIVORCE
Kristen helps couples discuss all issues concerning children, finances, and property, and helps them work out a settlement that best serves their needs. You never have to go to court, which generally saves you time and money.
Separation
A couple can use both Mediation or Collaborative Law to work out a settlement that best serves their needs.
“Kristen is very thorough and addressed every question I had with clarity, kindness and patience.

I recommend Kristen to anyone seeking fair and trustworthy legal guidance.”
