Kristine Linn has been working in family law since 2007--first as a paralegal, then a law clerk, and since 2013 as an attorney. She joined the Law Offices of Sherri M. Anderson in 2017, where she assists clients with complex financial and parenting issues. Her earlier background in education, the arts, and business inform her practical and nuanced approach to the problems clients bring to her.
While committed to mediated outcomes for families where possible, Ms. Linn recognizes the need for legal intervention in high conflict matters. She enjoys trial work, and has achieved good results for her clients in court by focusing on what is fair under the law and sensible under the circumstances.
Ms. Linn is a graduate of Pomona College (1987) and attended the University of Washington for her masters and doctoral work in English literature. She became an attorney through the Rule 6 Law Clerk Program in 2013.
