Client Reviews

G. B. December 10, 2021

Very Poor Communicator, Unprofessional, No Attention to Detail, and Unempathetic I hired Kristin to represent me in an employment retaliation and discrimination case (re:) mental health and parent/age discrimination, which she enthusiastically took on. She had reviewed the case in its entirety and agreed that I had an undeniably solid case Through the first month of the case, she was very thorough, worked with me closely, and graciously handled most all direct communications with my employer and their lawyer well. When things began to get complicated in regards to FMLA leave, medical documentation, and commission components of my case, she began to withdraw and communication began to decrease (between myself and my employer). She began to seldom respond to emails from my employer or myself, missing critical deadlines. and leaving me in the dark about what was happening with my case. I was rarely sent any case updates unless I reached out to her, which again, she rarely responded. When she would jump back into communications from time to time, she had done so without cross-referencing the communication (email) that she had missed, causing confusion for both parties and ultimately destroying my chances of pursuing further legal action against my previous employer. I would not recommend her to anyone who is looking for someone thorough, a good communicator, wants to be respected as the client, and has their best interest in mind.
