Tiana oversees the day-to-day operations of Hansel Law while maintaining a busy civil rights practice focused on stopping police and correctional misconduct and discrimination.  Tiana has been with Hansel Law, helping to build and shape the practice, almost since the founding of the firm.  She is a passionate advocate both in the courtroom and out, where she has a direct impact in the community through expungement clinics and other volunteer efforts.

Throughout her legal career, Kristen has gained experience in a variety of plaintiff civil litigation practice areas, including civil rights, employment discrimination, lead paint, nursing home negligence, medical malpractice, automobile negligence, and premises liability.

Kristen will fight for justice with everything in her and help give a voice to those that may otherwise not have one.

The strength of our firm comes from the deep commitment to justice shared by every member of the Hansel Law team.  From the internships Hansel Law provides to top college students to our law clerks, legal assistants, paralegals, associates and our founder, we work as one cohesive unit to contribute to the quantum of justice in the world.  

Our shared mission leads to a strong sense of camaraderie,
so sometimes we play just as hard as we work!

Our high impact cases garner public interest, which is a powerful tool for reform.  Our work is covered in regional and national  media.  The corruption and wrongdoing exposed by our work and the resulting media attention drives positive change beyond the courtroom.

Our efforts, and the resulting public pressure, have caused the resignation and termination of high public officials, legislative reform,  heightened standards for police, the modernization of governmental policies and the retraining of police, among other successes.

Our attorneys are also frequently asked to provide media commentary on issues related to civil rights and constitutional law.

Justice may start with a jury award, but we push further for real and lasting reform.
