She worked for P.J.F.P. and saw the workings of household courtroom up near. That clerkship ended in an associate role at Adams & Adams in 2010, where she handled household things and learned the mechanics of client representation.

Within a yr she opened her personal practice. In 2011 she based the Law Office of Kristin M. Lis, LLC and served as owner and principal.
