Choosing the right Attorney is a arduous task. I don't think I could have chose better! She was very knowledgeable and experienced. She handled all filings most expediently, while always keeping an open dialog with me, either with, Text, Emails, or Phone calls. She was also a great Advisor to me with her years of experience. Thank you again Kristin!

Concerned? You should be, retaining an attorney is a serious matter. The good news is you’ve come to the right place. I have had the privilege of working with Kristin Padowitz on multiple occasions. She is exemplary in professionalism and integrity. She personifies the highest standards of understanding and compassion while at the same time hosts the most tuned and exacting legal weapons to be trained on your adversities. Her command of the law, tactics and execution are second to none. She has, in my personal experience diminished my opponent(s) significantly which led to favorable outcomes and outshined more expensive and "tenured" (sarcastic for self righteous) others. She is financially considerate and is NOT a “rack up the billable hours” kind of lawyer that is a disgrace to the legal community (and I vividly know). I have retained countless attorneys over the years and when my daughter needed someone she could trust and have confidence in, my go to was absolutely Kristin Padowitz. As always, her performance exceeded our expectation and I am honored to count her on our team and always will.

I called and spoke to 6 Lawyers. All of them told me to leave things alone, that I risked an outcome that could be worse than my current situation. I called and spoke to Kristin, she actively listen, engaged and cared. She had creative ideas and strategies that made sense. She guided and supported me to a satisfactory conclusion. With her help I was able to end permanent alimony. Thanks Kristin!

A powerful, compassionate attorney who truly fought for us every step of the way. Kristin was an absolute lifesaver for my son and me during an incredibly challenging time. From the moment we first connected, her professionalism, responsiveness, and legal expertise were evident. She made us feel confident that we were in the best hands possible. Kristin has an exceptional ability to balance compassion with assertiveness—she listened deeply, understood our needs, and fought fiercely in the courtroom when it mattered most. Her presence in court is nothing short of commanding, and she approached every step of the process with grace, intelligence, and poise. Kristin's brilliant legal mind, coupled with her strategic approach, made all the difference in navigating a complex and emotional situation. Not only did she achieve the results we needed, but she also provided comfort and reassurance along the way. We are incredibly fortunate and grateful to have had Kristin in our corner, and I would recommend her to anyone seeking a lawyer who combines legal excellence with genuine care for her clients.

Kristin is the most caring individual and will be able to help whatever you need her to help with. I had a difficult case and she was there every step of the way, I felt informed and was able to trust her with my baby’s fate. Emergency situations came up and she was so supportive and helped me so much. It’s hard to find a good attorney (I interviewed 5 before I found her) so stop looking now and just call Ms. Padowitz!

Made the difficult process of divorce as painless as possible. I selected her because she was the only lawyer during the interview process who listened to my concerns and we could have a two way conversation. Easy to work with and all business when on the clock. Her pricing was fair and she was very flexible regarding payment. She selected an outstanding mediator that helped move the process along quickly.

We needed Ms. Padowitz for an emergency child custody/timeshare case. After interviewing other family lawyers, what helped us select Kristin of course her many years of experience but also, it was her answering questions personally versus going through assistants or other attorneys. She always picks up her own phone. After hiring Kristin, it was evident she had decades of high level experience and would not leave any stone unturned. When you are going through something so difficult you NEED to feel secure that your lawyer has your back. We totally felt this during 2 very stressful years of going through this. She honestly cares and showed compassion the entire time and worked relentlessly to make sure the outcomes were in our favor. She also demonstrated great patience by allowed my wife to be part of everything and never frowned upon the very long checklist my wife had throughout the trail. We feel indebted to Kristin for helping me get custody of my child in a situation that felt impossible. We love Kristin, she is family and we are forever grateful with how she helped us be a family once again. If you are looking for the best results in difficult and sometimes unfair court system, Ms. Padowitz is the right professional to fight for your case and help guide you along the way. Thank you everyone in the Law Office of Kristin Padowitz, P.A.!! Small team but mighty!

Absolutely the best! She handled my case with professionalism and was very reliable. Always addressed all my questions and needs in a timely manner. She made a difficult situation easier to deal with as I trusted her guidance and inputs. She put me at ease at a time that was extremely hard for me and my family. Thank you Kristin!

Kristin was an amazing lawyer for me. I was in an impossible situation with my previous parenting plan from my previous lawyer who did not care about my case and just wanted it to be done and over quickly. After seeking help to rectify this, I was told by plenty of lawyers that nothing could be changed in my situation but Kristin was the only lawyer who really pulled through and got me the best deal possible to rectify the previous deal I had with my previous lawyer. Now I have 50/50 custody of my daughter after everyone said “it can’t be done without a substantial change,” yet Kristin was the only professional to make this happen. She knows how to converse with the other parties lawyer to portray our side of the picture and it helped tremendously with the conversing being amicable and coming to a fair agreement. She listened to my concerns and efficiently voiced them. Thank you Kristin for being the best lawyer I could have hoped for and giving me the best outcome when all hope was lost.

Kristin is an outstanding attorney who really came through for me on my divorce. More so than just being an attorney, I really felt as if she was a partner. Divorce is stressful and full of unknowns, not to mention nasty tactics from the opposition. Kristin was consistently a calming influence on me who I could trust to effectively manage my interests. I am very grateful she was on my side.

Kristin Padowitz was very pleasant to work with. On our first phone call to inquire about her services, she answered the phone! It took a minute to realize we were talking to the actual attorney. She answered all our questions and even took multiple phone calls from us. She was knowledgeable and helpful in heading us along a difficult path. She responded to us by phone calls or texts quickly. We were very pleased by her help and we had a positive outcome!

I can't say enough about Kristin and her office. She is an A+ in professionalism and the way she truly made me feel like family was overwhelming! I was a wreck trying to find someone local to represent me and I could not have been more blessed to have found her. I felt completely at ease after our first conversation. She PERSONALLY took each call, email, and text and if she couldn't respond right away, she let me know when I WOULD hear back. My ex tried to cause more strife along the way but Kristin stood firm and represented me in such a way that I am forever grateful for her support! I wasn't just a client. Her compassion and empathy for what I was going through won't be forgotten but when she needed to be tough, she was the one I wanted in my corner. She is BAR NONE😉 the best in her field and gets 5 stars from this thankful gal! Could not have done it without her! P.S. Her assistant is an absolute pleasure to work with, as well !

Kristin is amazing. She is very professional, very responsive, you can call her at any time and she assists you right away. She is the lawyer to go for if you strangling with custody issues. She helped me with my issue in no time.

I had Kristin for a short amount of time, but I can say she is extremely professional, and very dedicated to the case in which she represented me. i had a lawyer before her, and that lawyer didn't do anything close to what she did during the time I had my other lawyer. She hits you with the straight facts of how she sees a case going, which I liked, because some lawyers to tell you what you want to here, but that doesn't prepare you for what the outcome could potentially be. I would say anyone looking for a lawyer of this caliber then Kristin is the person you should consider when searching for a good lawyer. Her credentials speak for themselves!

I want to prefix this statement by saying how amazing, professional and dedicated she is. She handled my divorce. I had a very pressing need for an attorney and I was incredibly stressed prior to meeting with her. During the initial consultation she very clearly spelled out what she was able to do for me and advocated on my behalf quite clearly and concisely. She kept lines of communication open throughout my case so I felt I never had to worry. Again, she was incredibly professional, educated in her field and very friendly. I highly recommend her. If I could give more than five stars I would.
