Firm: Law Offices of Kristen M. Gates

380 S. Melrose Drive , Vista , California 92081

Practice Areas: Family

It is my goal for my clients to know that I have been honest with them, that I have worked hard for them, and that I genuinely care what happens to them and their families.  If I can educate them about the legal process along the way, even better.. Prior to law school, I worked in a medical malpractice, personal injury, and family law office while obtaining my paralegal certification.  Interacting with clients who were going through such a traumatic time in thier lives, both physically and emotionally, motivated me to pick an area of the law where I felt I could actually help people.  I understand that family law is a necessary evil, but with the right guidance and competent representation, the process can be a little less painful.. During law school, I worked in the family law mediation clinic.  I believe every case should at least explore the possibility of reaching an agreement amicably, but if necessary, I have no problem flipping the switch and aggressively advocating for my clients.  I am comfortable in the courtroom and you'll feel confident knowing I have your best interests in mind.. After working as a law clerk at an older, established local law firm in civil litigation defense, I soon realized that the big firm approach was not my style.  You're going to have personalized attention and deal directly with me- not be shifted off to a paralegal or legal assistant.  After graduation and passing the bar, I worked in family law, civil litigation and bankruptcy with my father, who has been practicing almost 40 years.. I then gained valuable experience as a staff attorney for the Chapter 13 Bankruptcy Trustee for the next five years.  Even though I appeared on thousands of cases and was the examiner of hundreds of creditor meetings, I missed family law and client interaction, so here I am.. In my free time, I love to spend time with my family, travel, watch sports, ride horses, play softball, scuba dive, work on art projects.  Anything else you'd like to know, just ask!
