Our Support Staff

Kristen Johnson, Paralegal

Kristen graduated from the University of Washington Tacoma in 2012 with a bachelor’s degree in criminal justice and a minor in law and policy. Her passion for working in the justice system led her to immediately finding a position as a legal assistant in a local family law firm. Shortly thereafter, she transitioned to a role as a domestic violence legal advocate. As a legal advocate at a nonprofit domestic violence agency, Kristen assisted victims of domestic violence in both a civil and criminal capacity. She helped victims of domestic violence understand and navigate the legal system. Having gained knowledge and experience working within family law, Kristen advanced to the role of a family law paralegal in 2015. Kristen knows that no two cases are alike, and her array of experience allows her to assist clients with their individual needs. In her free time, Kristen enjoys playing soccer and spending time with her two dogs, Brooklyn and Rocky.”
