Over the past few years, I’ve been hearing horror stories from dancers, about an attorney named John Kristensen. He represents dancers in misclassification cases. Multiple dancers have informed me that he takes absurdly large cuts of settlements, gives them bad advice, is difficult to get a hold of, and treats dancers like shit. I don’t think I’ve ever met this man. I know he runs a website specifically targeted at getting dancer clients, and advertises himself online as the go-to guy for suing strip clubs in California and other states.

I’m making this post partly as a warning, because I’ve spoken with enough credible clients of his to believe them. I am also curious to hear more information about him. I was warned by one of his former clients that he’ll get mad if I post about him, and he’ll try to legally punish me for it in some way, but I don’t give a fuck. I want to know more about the lawyer who is being mean to brave dancers suing their clubs, when he should be doing his best job as their representative, taking a reasonable cut (1/3), and talking to his clients with respect. There’s so much ptsd that comes with being a dancer and suing one’s club. The last thing someone needs in that situation is a lawyer who adds on more stress and trauma.

Please contact me if you have credible information about the bad behaviors of Attorney John Kristensen! I won’t give anyone your name if you don’t want me to. I received permission to post this from former clients of his, who will also remain anonymous.
