"I am happy to recommend DRV Law and Kristen F. specifically. As a father divorcing an intractable and vengeful spouse, I was terrified of how the court would treat a father vs a mother, as well as of how my ex could muddy and delay the process."I am happy to recommend DRV Law and Kristen F. specifically. As a father divorcing an intractable and vengeful spouse, I was terrified of how the court would treat a father vs a mother, as well as of how my ex could muddy and delay the process. And all in the midst of a pandemic that made everything more complicated. Kristen and her team’s legal advice was consistently spot on, the office’s communication was regular and helpful, and their billing was fair and understandable. You won’t be disappointed in them!- A.B.
