Kristin has nearly 25 years of litigation experience. She holds a record-high child sexual abuse verdict in Massachusetts. In 2014, a jury awarded two of her clients $10 million for the injuries they sustained as a result of their father's sexual abuse. Representing these two survivors and the many others that followed them was a turning point in Kristin's career. In 2017, she left a large firm and launched Knuuttila Law, LLC to dedicate her practice to representing survivors of sexual abuse and sexual assault. That same year, Kristin was honored to be selected as one of the Top Women of the Law by Massachusetts Lawyers Weekly.
