Kristine Pogalies Colburn

Attorney Colburn became a member of the California Bar Association in December 1993 after graduating from Thomas Jefferson Law School in the top 5% of her class. She is a partner in the law firm of Stocks & Colburn. She has worked in a Family Law firm for 18 years and during this time has had the opportunity to act as a settlement judge in family law matters. Too often she saw divorcing parties and/or their attorneys who were unqualified to handle the wrap up items that needed to be done especially the complicated and legally mandated requirements for the division of retirement plans. Realizing a need for comprehensive legal services for dividing retirement plans, she developed her expertise in preparation and processing of private plans and government retirement plans, 401(k)’s, IRAs and TSPs.

Attorney Colburn will prepare the legal documents required through approval with the plan, filing with the court and service on the plan as a neutral on behalf of both parties or on behalf of one party. She can also advise attorneys as to the language required for a Judgment of Dissolution.
