Two Google reviews that name him
“Even if I had asked the question before and he had explained it one day but I didn't understand it on a day I was having a bad day, he gladly explained it in a different manner so I could understand! He made the process very smooth with amazing communication and kept me up to date as best as possible!”
“I used Apple Street Law for my divorce and I couldn’t be happier. Kris was there for me through every brutal step in a process I didn’t want to go through and that I knew nothing about. He went above and beyond for me and made my nightmare just a little bit easier to navigate.”
