Kristen Pisani-Jacques joined Children’s Law Center as a Staff Attorney in 2008 and became a Supervising Attorney in 2011. She graduated cum laude from Georgetown University Law Center in 2008, where she participated in the Street Law High School Clinic and the Domestic Violence Clinic. During law school, Kristen developed a strong interest in family law, domestic violence, and child advocacy issues and worked with Advocates for Justice and Education and the Maryland Legal Aid Bureau. Kristen graduated summa cum laude from Loyola College in Maryland in 2005 with a BA in Spanish.
As a mental health professional, it’s a pleasure to work with Children’s Law Center because of their attention to the full spectrum of a child and family’s needs. I rely on CLC attorneys to provide background and insight.
Meaningful adult relationships are often few and far between for many of the children I see in neglect and abuse cases. It speaks volumes to me when a troubled adolescent names a CLC attorney as someone they trust.
CLC’s attorneys go above and beyond to understand the mental health aspects of their cases.
