"I can't say enough good things about Kristen and her team. I was referred to her by a friend who had gotten great results for her divorce to a narcissist, and who won her custody case. I was quite reassured after working with Kristen to discover she is a solid lawyer with proven experience and expertise in family law. I had started my divorce case with another lawyer, and when I wasn't getting good results, I went in search of a new lawyer. I was concerned about making a switch and having to start over, but Kristen and her team easily picked up my case and ran with it, always making me feel like a priority. They had so much empathy and integrity throughout my entire divorce process. They were diligent in responding to my questions and concerns and tried to keep me reassured throughout the process. Divorce is stressful as is, but when divorcing a narcissist, it can feel nearly impossible with no end in sight. Kristen has a lot of experience in understanding how to deal with this personality type and manage difficult divorce cases with poise and professionalism. She helped me obtain what seemed unobtainable at the time - a settlement and custody resolution. I highly recommend the Law Offices of Makupson & Howard."

"Kristen and the firm were exceedingly strategic, honest, and helpful throughout my custody case. I highly recommend this firm. They have a way of keeping the process objective and rational during a time when things can be very emotional, and as a result the case worked out very well."

"Getting divorced with small children involved can easily be the most stressful and impactful moment in your life. The decisions you make now will effect your immediate and long term future as well as shape who your children become. With this in mind you want the best for you and the best for your children. That's exactly what I got with Kristen. Very smart, very organized, very professional. There was some back and forth but that was only because we didn't settle and the resolution was fair to both parties. Highly recommend!"

"I owe Kristen more than she will ever know! After having 6 consultations with my different attorneys, each one of them claimed I would have difficulty fighting for custody of my daughter. Kristen was the only attorney who said that she fights for fathers. At that moment, I knew I would retain her services. The results of my case exceeded what I was initially expecting, Kristen went above and beyond throughout each part of it. In all her correspondence with the opposing counsel she specifically used myself and my daughters' name, not merely "my client" or "child". She was intent on making it known that I was more than a client and my daughter was more than child. You will be hard-pressed to find legal counsel that does such a thing. Kristen was also very prompt when it came back to responding to emails or phone calls. She always made time for me and I did not feel that I was hold at any time. She will always get back to you in a timely manner. You never feel like she has other priorities other than dealing with your specific case! It is also important to note that Kristen will not sugar-coat anything with you. She will give realistic expectations of what can, and mostly likely, will happen. You will always get truth and honesty in the same room with her, and that gives me the upmost confidence in her. Listen to her, she knows what she is doing and will give you the best plan moving forward! I would not have the relationship I have with my daughter today without Kristen. That, to me, is invaluable. Kristen with her legal wisdom, planning, and honest conversations with me, made it all possible to be where I am today. Finally, Kristen's great strength is compassion. This did not feel like I was just another client, but she understood how much I loved my daughter wanted to be a part of her life."

"Kristen and her team are amazing! I needed her assistance to respond and address my stressful child custody matter. We discussed my options, and she informed me of the probabilities of what could happen, depending on my actions. Having her as an attorney allowed my stress level to drop down tremendously! She navigated me through this intimidating process so that my child's father and I could create a settlement that prevents either party from returning to court unnecessarily. She was efficient, considerate, and prompt! Lord forbid, but if/when I have to address this matter again, I would contact her law firm for assistance and guidance."
