Professional, Knowledgeable, Works hard for you!

I've had the pleasure of working with Attorney Emerson for just about a year and continue to be pleased with the results. She is trustworthy, hard working, and always ensures your needs as her client are always taken care of. I feel she works hard to ensure all her clients get what they are seeking.... She always gets back to you the same day, and know you can put your trust into Christa to get your case ruled in your favor. Highly recommend her to everyone that needs any help!

Great Disability Attorney

I felt like I clicked with Christina the first time we met, she could clearly she how stressed I was about my disability case and she made me feel at ease. She was great at getting and handling all the paperwork or any other information needed. Christina exceeded what I thought would be done thru t...his whole process, I had heard from a lot of people that they had to go and get their own records or mail out whatever disability was looking, I think I might have had to go to one place for a copy of my MRI they kept sending the wrong one and I said I would just go pick it up. Christina is a fabulous attorney and when I thought things were taking forever she always had the right words to say to me and make me feel better. The finally came the phone call from Christina that we didn't need the hearing that the judge signed off on my case, I was in such relief I think I just started to cry I can't thank Christina enough for everything she did. She really is a wonderful person and really cares about her clients.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"For the past several years, Attorney Emerson has been my go to source for Social Security issues and help. I have referred many of my personal injury and workers' compensation clients to Christa for representation with regards to Social Security Disability Insurance claims. Christa has displayed amazing professionalism and work ethic in effectively representing my referred clients, who have had nothing but great things to say with regards to her help and representation. If I am ever contacted by someone looking for an attorney to help them with regards to a Social Security issue, then I immediately put them in touch with Christa without hesitation because I know that she will give them the help and attention they need to the best of her abilities."
