Law Office of Kristi Barnard - Stockton, California

David S.

There are not enough words I could type that would convey my absolute appreciation and respect for Ms. Kristi Barnard. I am a father who had had some serious accusations made against me that would have altered my career path. In 2021, I hired Ms. Barnard and she was immediately successful at having the case thrown out as there was absolutely no basis for it.
My child was in a dangerous situation and Ms. Barnard helped me develop my case, prepare for trial, and win this year. I can rest easy now knowing my child is safe.
Ms. Barnard is all the things one would expect from a good lawyer. She is knowledgeable, honest, she will not give you false hope, she is tenacious, and most importantly she has integrity. I kept Ms. Barnard as my lawyer through the years to navigate these issues because she will always fight for her clients and insist on a fair resolution. I am thankful and grateful for her representation.

I feel blessed that my husband and I found Kristi Barnard in 2021 when a false claim was made against my husband. She immediately got to work and was able to get the case thrown out. Since then, Ms. Barnard has represented my husband with custody cases. Most recently we concluded a case that lasted over a year regarding the safety of my husbands’ youngest child. Through out the case Ms. Barnard gave her professional opinion, set realistic expectations, provided support, and direction that lead to the successful conclusion of the case.
My husband and I are so grateful to Ms. Barnard and all she has done for our family.

I reached out to Kristi Barnard because I needed help with child custody and child support. I feel like having a lawyer is having a voice and Kristi was a strong and compassionate voice. She fought really hard for me in the courtroom. I have had many friends who have got burned by lawyers in the past but I did not have that experience. Kristi and her office kept constant communication and were extremely helpful every step of the way. Thank you Kristi and team for all your hard work and efforts. Always appreciative to you.

I am so glad that I found Ms.Barnard. She has guided me in my most challenging days as a father. She's very honest down-to-earth and such a people's person. She fights for her clients to get what they are seeking without taking advantage with litigation costs etc. She is a hard working professional  and most importantly dedicated . If you are looking to hire a lawyer because of cursory issues or a family issue, you should definitely give her a call for a consult. I did and I am glad she's on my team. Thank you Kristi for all your hard work and dedication to our case .

I just want to say without hesitation Kristi Barnard was willing to take my case. I got turned away by a lot of other lawyers. But she was willing to help me. She is ready, willing, and able to fight for you. She is very good at keeping me updated about what’s going on in my case. I really appreciate everything she is doing for me. I would recommend her to everyone. Thanks again Kristi Barnard.

UNPREPARED 100% of the time. Kristi is a terrible attorney, who gives up, is messy, does things last minute, and is very timid in court. She is extremely rude when overwhelmed or challenged, and this causes issues during court hearings. Instead of using the evidence in court, she even points the judge to a client she is representing, on a subject that she has been clearly informed on. She is unresponsive and ignorant of important details and information, and is very hypocritical. She does not follow up, is TERRIBLE at fact-checking, and leaves a lot of room for error in court documents that she submits, and will charge you more and more hours for HER poor work. I believe she knowingly makes these mistakes so that you have to ask her to correct them before submitting the forms, charging you more money in the end. Instead of discussing things, she will try to shut you down and say she is right. She is, in fact, very delusional, as she seems to believe she is good at her job. There are other reviews here, just look at her responses. Her “work” starts at the bottom, and continues to go downhill until she quits on you. I’ve never seen an attorney try to make someone pay for mistakes, until now. She is a thief, and a liar.

I would never recommend someone who cannot admit that they are unprepared, unprofessional, and just not fit for the job. She is a person of rare intelligence (it’s rare that she shows any). 0/10 - I do not recommend.

What an amazing attorney Kristi is! She is kind, attentive and concise. She definitely understands her craft and goes the extra mile to help you understand the process and goes out of her way to make sure you get the result you're looking for. I would recommend her to anyone facing the difficult uphill battle of divorce. I'm very glad I made the right choice on Kristi! Thank you!

I am so thankful that Kristi handled a very sticky family matter for us. Our situation was one you would see on Dateline and Kristi handled it with dignity and respect. She was compassionate but, aggressive when she needed to be. We could not have asked for a better person to guide us through.
