Krista went on to attend East Central University where she graduated cum lade with a Bachelor of Science in Legal Studies in 2015. While at East Central, she earned academic all-conference for four consecutive years while playing for the school’s NCAA Division II soccer team on a full tuition scholarship and was the Chief Justice for the school’s Greek Judicial Board as a member of the Chi Omega Fraternity.

She has always had a heart to serve her community and views estate planning as one of many ways she can help those around her.
Prior to joining Peabody Law Firm, Krista’s career was focused primarily on corporate litigation, business law, estate planning & probate litigation. She gained valuable experience as a law clerk for the Honorable Judge John Chupp in Tarrant County while she completed law school and in fast-paced litigation environments as a young attorney. She was excited to make the transition to focus solely on estate planning, probate litigation, and business formation and is certain that her experiences managing complex legal issues and corporate structures will help her assist her clients in forming plans that provide adequate protection for all their needs.
When she is not working with clients, Krista enjoys spending time with her husband, Daniel, whom she married in 2019. Daniel grew up in Southlake and Carroll ISD, so the Paschke family deeply values investing in the Dragon community. Krista and Daniel have two rambunctious young boys, whom they absolutely adore. Krista also loves attending church, watching football, and spending time with friends.
Krista looks forward to serving you and meeting all of your estate and business planning needs!
