This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Linda

Christine Bechtold reviewed my business partnership contract. During our initial complimentary consultation, she listened intently to my concerns. She responded quickly to my emails, even at 10 p.m. When I received her contract evaluation, it contained the most valuable information imaginable. Sh...e outlined for me her recommended plan of action to dissolve a company. She has trustworthy vision, and she is very professional.

Professional care during a divorce case

Ms. Bechtold truly cares about her clients. She charges a flat fee for her professional services. I highly recommend her!

Less Stress

From the consultation to my final divorce, Ms. Bechtold was helpful and made the process understandable and less stressful. I have recommended her to my friends.

Legal Services Review

I could not be more pleased. 1) Clear guidance during the process; 2) prompt and helpful responses; and 3) willingness to extend your services to meet with and communicate with the other party were indications of a level of service which I admire and emulate myself. My impression of the practice... is that it was small enough to serve my needs with complete focus, but professional enough to assure me of the most accurate and best service in a time of confusion and real need.

Change of Custody Paperwork

Very responsive to my request and worked with me to get everything covered. Extremely fast response for everything I asked.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
