One of the Best!

There are no words to describe Christine. She is truly one of the best in the industry and supported us through buying our first home. She kept the process moving seamlessly and helped educate us along the way as it was completely new to us. Her communication and responsiveness made us feel like we w...ere her only client, which however, we weren't. Honestly, i could go on and on about Christine, and would absolutely recommend to anyone looking for a lawyer, specifically within the Real Estate division.

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.
