• ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ via AVVO

  I consulted with Kristine Jones over several months about legal issues dealing with family matters and domestic relations in Alabama. Kristine is the owner and founding member of The KJ Law Firm in Montgomery. She helped me develop marketing and educational material for a wide range of family legal matters ranging from divorce mediation and division of marital assets to the custody of children and payment of alimony/child support. Kristine's knowledge of Alabama law and expertise as a family law attorney is apparent the moment you meet. Her previous training and years of experience prepared her well for the practice of law. She provided legal research for institutions like the Alabama Secretary of State Elections Division and Alabama Law Institute, served as a law clerk for One Place Family Justice Center, and taught undergraduate students at Auburn University. Kristine is patient and resourceful, organized, attentive to details, service-oriented, and passionate about helping people. This is further evidenced by her participation in the "Ask a Lawyer" forum, a free service provided by Avvo. As someone who thought the only difference between a briefcase and a case brief is the former is used to tote the latter, I found it rewarding and stimulating to collaborate with an attorney like Kristine. She defined legal terms and phrases like "equitable distribution of property" and "of counsel," explained the role of a Guardian Ad Litem, or "GAL" for short, clarified the difference between arbitration and mediation, and schooled me on best practices regarding the use of an "LLC" designation in the name of a company. Kristine also cleared up my confusion over the jurisdiction of Federal courts (Alabama is divided into three judicial districts known as the Northern, Middle, and Southern. Who knew?) and procedural issues related to the Montgomery County Small Claims Court. If asked about her sources, Kristine cited specific documents and clauses I could find online that furthered my understanding. Examples include formal opinions, case law, and court rules established by, or located in, the Alabama State Bar Association, Alabama Center for Dispute Resolution, Code of Alabama, and other legal resources. I highly recommend Kristine Jones. If you reside in Montgomery, the River Region, or other communities in Alabama and value quality client service, you'll appreciate the trustworthy, reliable attorneys at The KJ Law Firm, LLC.
