Kristen Thurmond
Attorney and Owner of Thurmond Law Firm LLCKristen focuses on family, criminal, and animal matters. Family law matters include divorces, changing or modifying custody orders, child support issues, child custody issues, and paternity actions. Kristen helps her clients be prepared for the legal issues that come during emotional times when family dynamics are changing.

If you're a pet owner and find yourself facing some sort of legal problem, Kristen can help. Kristen has volunteered at Spay & Neuter KC on numerous occasions and has a passion for helping families keep their pets safe, healthy, and out of legal trouble.
