Professional Background

Krista is a strong advocate for her clients, focusing on solutions, not problems.  She understands the importance of not just representing her clients’ best interests, but in providing an objective and realistic assessment of their cases.  She offers this advice on an ongoing basis as matters evolve, so clients can make informed decisions as to how to proceed.
