Kristen Prinz

I started my own firm because I believe the law has become a knowledge commodity when it should be a strategic service industry.Before I went to law school, I had a lot of experience in the service industry, waiting tables throughout school. I then moved into marketing after college. I worked for a start-up in Seattle during the first internet bubble and for a niche marketing company after that exploded. I led the marketing department for a law firm when I decided that I might someday want to be a lawyer.My passion is devising legal strategies that benefit my clients. I know first-hand the challenges of being an entrepreneur, an executive, and a professional. I understand that legal advice needs to work towards a client’s business or professional goals.As a principal at The Prinz Law Firm, I lead a team that believes in providing value, service, integrity, and a client-centric approach to every project and challenge. I am always interested in meeting other professionals and helping others achieve their dreams. I am an active member of The Chicago Club, The Chicago Network, the International Women’s Forum, The Economic Club of Chicago, and the Executives’ Club of Chicago.
