Texas Judge Vacates DOL’s Minimum Salary Threshold Expansion

She is also a member of the Firm’s litigation practice, with a focus on business and class action litigation. Kristin appreciates her role as an attorney, working tirelessly to make the legal process easier for her clients.
Kristin’s desire to become a lawyer began at a young age when she gained an early understanding of the important role an attorney plays in guiding clients through difficult times. She draws upon this firsthand experience, as well as her experience as a judicial clerk, to advise and support her clients through some of the most complex and stressful periods of their personal or professional lives. Using her effective communication skills and attentive nature, Kristin works side by side with her clients to keep them highly informed throughout the matter.
