Kirsten Durant

Kirsten Durant helps clients navigate personal legal challenges with clear explanations and compassionate support. Based in Kreis Enderle’s Portage office, she focuses on family law and also assists with estate planning and civil litigation.

Kirsten understands that clients facing divorce or other family law matters may be working with an attorney for the first time. She strives to make that experience less intimidating by being approachable and taking the time to answer questions and explain unfamiliar legal concepts. Her goal is to help clients feel supported and informed as they consider their options and take their next steps.

An interest in working directly with people drew Kirsten to family law early in law school. During her law clerk experience, she served as a first point of contact for clients, researched family law issues, prepared pleadings and motions, and assisted attorneys at mediations and court hearings. She first joined Kreis Enderle as a summer associate before returning to begin her career with the firm.

Kirsten earned her law degree from Wayne State University Law School, where she received a full-tuition annual merit scholarship. She participated in moot court as a junior and senior, coached fellow students, and served as treasurer of the Family Law Society and the Women’s Law Caucus. She holds a bachelor’s degree in marketing and human resources from Oakland University and is a member of the Deaf and Hard of Hearing Bar Association.

Outside of the office, Kirsten enjoys spending time with her family, friends, and her cat. She especially enjoys being outdoors, camping, and hiking.
