Testimonials

"Getting divorced is probably not on anyone’s list of fun things to do. But if that’s where you find yourself, getting through the process collaboratively under the skilled guidance of Kirsten Hytopoulos is the way to go. Despite the challenges of an inevitably contentious process, Kirsten kept me and my soon-to-be ex-husband focused on what we’d acknowledged to be our primary goals. When emotions ran high and a successful outcome hung in the balance, Kirsten reeled us back to the mediation table with wisdom, professionalism, and empathy. I’m not sure we would have reached a positive conclusion—and avoided the expense and protracted emotional drain of litigation—if we’d worked with anyone else. Thank you, Kirsten."

"Kirsten is absolutely fantastic! She took her time to walk me through the process, answered all of my questions thoughtfully and gave me additional items to consider. She's also kind and empathetic without impairing her logic and was able to understand an emotional time while still provide the best possible legal advice to make the process as easy as possible. I would recommend anyone to Kirsten!"

“The best thing for me was that she explained everything in a way that I was able to understand. She responded to my quirky questions and was willing to work with me in a more unorthodox approach to the divorce. She pulled out all the stops for me when my timeline had to crunch at the end! She understood my financial situation and worked to accommodate me, never once making me feel like I was not a priority.”
                                                                          Joan C., former client

"Kirsten represented my interests in the Collaborative Divorce Process. My wife and I chose to use this method to end a long term marriage with honor and dignity as an alternative to litigating in the court system.

Most important to me was that Kirsten vigorously defended my interests and concerns without alienating the opposing side. I always felt that she truly cared about achieving a favorable result for me. I have worked with many lawyers in business and Kirsten is easily the most responsive I have encountered. She promptly returned my phone calls and emails and met all deadlines. Kirsten is very positive and creative; she always found potential solutions for resolving conflicts to keep the process moving forward. Kirsten is an excellent communicator. She frequently advised me on the most effective way to convey both written and spoken messages to avoid adverse reactions from the opposing side.

For anyone considering a friendly divorce, I highly recommend working with Kirsten."

“Kirsten was thoughtful, easy to communicate with, very responsive to my needs. It was a real blessing in the middle of so much drama to have a grounded attorney who could press on to the next step without getting derailed by the outrageous issues.”

"Kirsten helped my understand the best and worst likely outcomes my case, and helped me to prioritize the details in line with my own and my family's broader priorities. She worked incredibly hard under a short time pressure. She  cared . She really understood the thornier aspects of the case, and was able to steer clear of them. While divorce is always a difficult compromise, I really felt, and still do two years later, that I and my family arrived at the best possible outcome due largely to Kirsten's guidance.

"Thank you again for your assistance and support during what has been, hands down, one of the worst times in my life. I felt much better knowing that I had someone looking out for my interests at a time when I had a hard time focusing on the task at hand.”
