MEET KRISWith over 33 years of dedicated experience in family law, including 26 years exclusively in Marin County, I have built my career on advocating for clients, fostering professional relationships, and continually expanding my legal knowledge. Having represented more than 1,500 men and women, I approach each case with a focus on resolving disputes outside of court when possible. However, when litigation is necessary, I am a trusted and respected advocate who fiercely protects my clients' rights.
My extensive experience spans from negotiation and settlement to trials, addressing issues such as property division, domestic violence, child custody, and visitation. Clients receive not only the legal expertise they deserve but also the emotional support they need during some of the most challenging times in their lives. I believe in the power of open and honest communication and that you, as the client, know your family’s needs best. My goal is to listen intently, understand your concerns, and propose solutions tailored to your unique situation. My own experience as a child of divorce shapes my approach to family law. I witnessed firsthand the complexities of navigating family transitions, having moved seven times across four states by the age of nine. Although my parents maintained a relationship that helped me and my brother manage the emotional aspects, each family’s journey is different. This personal insight allows me to approach cases with both professional and empathetic perspectives. I currently serve as the 2025 President of the Board of Directors for the Marin County Bar Association, as well as a member of the Board of Directors for Community Violence Solutions. Additionally, I am a member of the Rally Family Visitation Services Advisory Board. For additional information about my community involvement, please click here. |
