Bosses for Babies

How This Boss Makes an Impact for Children in Florida

As an attorney, Kristen’s passion for helping children and families is crystal clear. She firmly believes all children should “know they are valuable and have something to offer.” Her legal practice focuses on issues like divorce, child support, timesharing, adoption, preparation of Wills, Trusts, prenups, and postnups. Kristen believes in a holistic approach and strives, as much as possible, to solve problems through Collaborative Law and family mediation and not in the court system. As a Boss for Babies, Kristen is committed to advocating for young children and making sure her business is operating with family-focused practices.
