Christina Roberson

Christina is absolutely amazing. She represented me in my DUI case and I couldn't have asked for better representation. She was always available to answer all my questions and she did so in a very kind and respectful manner. I would recommend Christina in a minute. Thank you so much Christina!

Amazing!!!

Christina helped me to get two misdemeanor charges dropped. She was very pleasant and communicative. If ever I had a question, she was never too busy to respond and explain. She was so helpful and very knowledgeable. Go see her!!

Christina Widner

Ms. Widner represented me in my DUI case and through her guidance, great knowledge of DUI cases/laws, and support, helped me win my case in court. She was helpful and communicative, took the time to answer all of my questions and walked me through the entire process. One of the things that drew me to... choosing Ms. Widner as my attorney was that she was down to earth, realistic, and honest, and she proved to be all of those qualities in our time together working on my case. I would highly recommend Christina Widner for she is not only an excellent attorney who steered me on the right path in my case, but also a good person who will work with a client with integrity, honesty, and great knowledge of the entire DUI process.

Disorderly Conduct Dismissed!

Christina was my lawyer for a Disorderly Conduct charge, and she did a great job! She was on top of things from the get-gp. Attentive and responsive to my eager questions, she kept me in full confidence that she will do what she can to get the case dismissed. I was lucky to have found her on Avvo.... She saved my career by getting this charge dismissed. Thank you!

Highly Recommended Attorney

I regularly refer my clients and other individuals to Ms. Widner when they are in need of criminal defense or DUI defense services. Ms. Widner consistently provides my referrals with high quality legal services and outstanding results. Ms. Widner always keeps her clients informed throughout the d...uration of their respective situations. Finally, Ms. Widner utilizes her advanced analytical skills to achieve advantageous outcomes for her clients irrespective of whether that involves a satisfactory settlement, or a full trial on the merit. In sum, I recommend Christina Widner for any and all criminal defense and DUI cases.

"I had the pleasure of working for Christina as a law clerk at Hammerschmidt Broughton Law Corporation. Christina is very dedicated to her clients and achieving the best result possible. She is quick to return client communications and will take her time to fully explain the court process. It is very much of an understatement to say that she goes above and beyond the necessary duties for her clients. If you are in need of an attorney who is not afraid to fight for you, I highly recommend Christina."

"Christina has been a strong advocate in the courts. She stands up to the District Attorneys and Courts when other attorneys will not even think about doing so. Being charged with a criminal case is difficult, but with Christina on your side, you can bet you will be in good hands. She takes initiative, including becoming President of the Fresno County Women’s Lawyers- no small task, I can assure you. She is dedicated to being a great attorney and I only wish there were more attorneys like her."

"Christina Widner is an emerging SuperStar in the DUI and criminal defense ares of the law. She is being mentored by one of the very best criminal defense lawyers in California. Before long, the entire local legal community is going to recognize the talent this lady demonstrates for defending people facing criminal charges. The best attorneys are smart, enthusiastic, skilled and dedicated to their clients’ cause. The very best have an even more experienced and talented mentor. Christina is in this rare category. I have been managing a law firm for 35+ years. I know what a SuperStar attorney looks like. My partner started with me as a college student before law school. He now has three “Attorney of the Year” awards, and is President of the State’s personal injury trial lawyers association. I know how to judge talent. Christina will be recognized for her outstanding talent and dedication before her career is over."

"Ms. Widner and I worked together at Hammerschmidt Broughton law firm for almost 2 years together. During that time, I was able to see firsthand, her incredible ability and talent for case analysis and legal writing. She is a master with the pen, and her motions and writs are poignant, educational and persuasive. I am always in awe of her ability to be concise and to the point, while still addressing all issues and facts in a moving paper. I highly endorse her, because of not only these abilities, but her extreme legal intellect as well. You will be in good hands with Ms. Widner as your counsel because she not only has these aforementioned talents, but is hard working attorney who will go the extra mile for her clients."

"I first met Ms. Widner in Law School. She was one of the members of her class that excelled from the begining. She earned high marks, was a member of the prestigius Ag Law Review, and carried a heavy workload. She gained real life experience while interning at one the top criminal Defense firms in the valley, and carried that momentum directly into her profession. She's a rising star in Fresno area criminal defense!"

"I endorse this lawyer. Christina began working for our firm while she was still in law school. We offered her a position as an associate before she took the bar exam. Immediately upon passing the bar she began handling court hearings. She is already an excellent attorney who is an extremely hard worker whom I can rely on for consistently superior work. She is already able to handle complex legal matters that are usually reserved for attorneys with many more years experience."
