With her background in psychology and gender studies, Kirsten has always been extremely interested in understanding peoples’ feelings, motivations, fears and goals. This background gives her great insight into clients, opposing parties, opposing council, and judges. In addition, her lengthy hands-on courtroom and client experiences allow Kirsten to effectively and persuasively communicate with judges, opposing parties, opposing council, witnesses, and most importantly, her clients.

While some attorneys go to great extremes to keep a “professional distance” from their clients and cases, Kirsten has always  had the exact opposite view. Kirsten actively seeks to develop a close working relationship with each of her clients.  She is not scared to be emotionally invested in her clients’ cases. She strongly believes that being close to her clients---being not just their attorney, but their friend, is essential to ensuring her clients receive the very best, most personalized, representation possible.
