When Kristina Retzlaff went to law school, she chose a career that would allow her to help people in their day-to-day lives. “I chose family law because I wanted to work with people who, on a daily basis, would not normally have a need for an attorney,” Kristina says. “I knew this practice area would be most rewarding to me as an attorney. Being able to help people through difficult times in their lives is what makes my job more fulfilling than the average job.”. Kristina says, “What I enjoy most as I work with my clients is seeing the point when they realize that they are going to be okay. Early in the process of a divorce, or any lawsuit, really, people have a lot of doubt about the legal system, their future, their finances, and the children.  With my help, there comes a point in the process when they realize ‘life’s going to be different, but I’m still going to be fine’. It is extremely rewarding to get them to that point.”. Kristina Retzlaff graduated from the University of Kansas School of Law in 2004 and served as staff articles editor on the Kansas Journal of Law and Public Policy.
