About Kristine
Kristine Stewart completed her undergraduate studies at California State University, Sonoma (Sonoma State University), earning a B.A. in Liberal Studies in 2007. She continued her legal education at Golden Gate University School of Law, receiving her J.D. in 2010. Those years established the academic groundwork for a practice anchored in California law.
After law school she entered private practice in the state. Over time she became a partner at Lerner Poole & Stewart, LLP. She is admitted to practice in California and works from the firm’s offices. Her role at the firm places her among the lawyers responsible for managing client matters and contributing to case strategy.
Her professional credentials include certification as a Specialist in Family Law by the State Bar of California’s Legal Specialization program. That credential is awarded to attorneys who meet experience and testing requirements in family law. It signifies specialized training and a recognized level of expertise in that area of practice.
Stewart belongs to local bar organizations. She holds membership in the Bar Association of San Francisco and the Marin County Bar Association. Those memberships connect her to continuing education opportunities and local legal communities. They also give her channels to participate in professional discussions and access resources that inform practice.
Colleagues and clients see her work through the practical demands of family law practice. Her background combines a liberal studies undergraduate degree with formal legal training, and the certification marks a formal recognition within family law. She has moved from law school graduate to partner over the course of a professional career spent in California’s legal environment.
Today she is a partner at Lerner Poole & Stewart, LLP where she practices family law. Her current practice focuses on family law matters in California.
