Kristian is recognized in the Oregon legal community as an impassioned and intelligent advocate for victims of powerful interests.  In the child abuse area, Kristian has placed his stamp on numerous aspects of child abuse law in the Pacific Northwest, successfully arguing in favor of expanding opportunities for child abuse survivors to get their day in court.  In cases such as N.K. v.
