"Fabulous experience with Kristine Honiotes! Would 100% recommend. Communication was always prompt and clear. She's no-nonsense in her approach and lays out all of the good and bad without sugar coating options and facts. Organized, prepared and efficient. Extremely knowledgeable. Dealing with legal issues is never great, but she made the process streamlined and calm. I felt very informed at every step."

"Kristine was my attorney a couple years back, it was one of the most emotional roller coasters of my life I’ve ever been through, and I wouldn’t be where I am today with my kids without her. Her professionalism and her Outstanding work as an Attorney is something I could never thank her for because it was above and beyond. She was always on top of everything,. I would recommend her above a five star if I could. She fought hard for me through a “battle of a case” and She never gave up or ever slowed down with my crazy case. She always was there when I needed her & She genuinely cared about My kids and I …which is something you cannot say for all attorney’s. Thank you Kristine for everything!!"
