Christopher Brine successfully mediated a mortgage for me, and when years later a blip appeared that was totally unrelated to the work he had done but associated with that very loan, I reached out to him and he immediately responded with concrete advice on how best to straighten the matter out. I highly recommend him as a consumer concerned attorney, particularly in bankruptcy and debt matters, and am forever grateful to have been represented by him in those areas.

Knowlegable, approachable and responsible
I was very pleased with Attorney Brine's performance on my behalf. He obviously knows his stuff, and furthermore, he was always friendly, approachable and available. It never felt like he was rushing me, and he took the time to answer all of my questions patiently. I would definitely recommend him to others.

Highly Recomended.
I hired Christopher to handle a debt collector lawsuit. He was thorough, took time to explain the process and answered all my questions. The outcome was very favorable without ever having to go to court.

Credit Card Debt
Christopher represented me in a credit card debt case. Chris kept in constant communication with me and offered advice each step of the way. He was a pleasure to work with and I am very happy that I hired him. He was very prompt in returning phone or email messages and was very thorough throughout the entire process. The end result was better than expected and I would highly recommend him.

Credit Card Debt Settlement
My wife and I worked with Christopher Brine this past spring 2015 against a debt collector.. Attorney Brine successfully navigated us through this process and treated us with the highest regard for respect and professionalism. We were well-informed at every stage of the process and what our options were. We listened to him and took his advise all the way to court with success! He always responded promptly to any questions through phone or email. He was a pleasure to work with I would highly recommend him.

Made bankruptcy less stressful.
This attorney handled my bankruptcy professionally. He was easy to stay in touch with by email, which I appreciate since I work long hours. The fee was higher than others I looked at, but I didn't want a McLawyer, and I was able to set up a payment plan. Everything went smoothly and the actual court appearance was quick and painless.
