When I first met Kristin I didn't know that she would do so much for me in a whirlwind of determination, empathy, compassion and stubbornness. Not only did she take on many giants in my case and defeat them all like those before her just couldn't, but she believed in me when so very few did at the time. I had nothing and was nothing, but she saw in me something to believe in and she didn't stop until I had the self worth and strength to believe in myself too. She is a fantastic lawyer and a beautiful rare soul.
