Kristen "Kris" Finlon

Skilled and dedicated advocate for a complex employment case

I hired Kris Finlon at Gardner Skelton after facing wrongful termination and a non-compete dispute with my former employer in Charlotte. While her official recognition in Employment Law for Individuals was reassuring, what truly impressed me was her strategic approach. She leveraged her background from NYU and her focused year of practice to dissect the nuances of my case, crafting arguments that clearly demonstrated her mastery of labor and employment litigation. Kris was personally invested, explaining each step in the process without overwhelming jargon, and her advocacy during negotiations was tenacious yet measured. We achieved a settlement that fully protected my career mobility and provided fair compensation. The one area for slight improvement was initial response time during the very early stages of engagement; communication became consistently prompt once the case was underway. Overall, I felt represented by an attorney who is deeply knowledgeable and genuinely cares about her clients' outcomes. I would confidently recommend her for employment-related legal matters.
