Comprehensive Family Law Experience in Marin County With more than 34 years of experience in family law, including 27 years practicing exclusively in Marin County, Kristine Fowler Cirby is a trusted Marin County family law attorney known for thoughtful advocacy and practical solutions. She has represented more than 1,500 men and women in matters involving divorce, child custody, domestic violence, and complex family law disputes. Whenever possible, Kris focuses on resolving cases outside of court; when litigation is required, she is a respected and effective advocate for her clients. Kris’s family law practice includes negotiation, settlement, and trial work, allowing her to tailor her approach to the specific needs of each case. She represents clients in divorce, property division, child custody and visitation, and domestic violence restraining orders, providing both strong legal advocacy and steady guidance through emotionally challenging circumstances. A Client-Centered Approach Built on Communication and Trust Open and honest communication is central to Kris’ approach. She believes that clients understand their family’s needs best, and she works collaboratively to develop clear, realistic strategies based on each client’s goals. By listening carefully and explaining the law in plain terms, Kris ensures clients feel informed, supported, and prepared throughout the process. A Personal Perspective That Informs Compassionate Advocacy Kris’ perspective is also shaped by personal experience. As a child of divorce, she witnessed firsthand the complexities of navigating family transitions, having moved seven times across four states by the age of nine. Although her parents maintained a cooperative relationship that helped her and her brother manage the emotional aspects of divorce, she understands that every family’s experience is different. This lived experience allows Kris to approach each case with genuine empathy for the fear, uncertainty, and high stakes families face, and a deep commitment to protecting children and helping clients move forward with stability and dignity. Leadership and Community Involvement Kris currently serves as the 2026 Immediate Past President of the Board of Directors for the Marin County Bar Association. She also serves on the Board of Directors for Community Violence Solutions and is a member of the Rally Family Visitation Services Advisory Board.
