Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
The number of cases Attorney Christie and I have been opposing counsel on are too many to count. She is professional, courteous and most importantly, knows what she is doing. I highly recommend her and routinely refer cases to her and have only heard glowing reviews from those referrals.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
I have had the opportunity to work as co-counsel with Nicole , I found her to be extremely thorough in her preparation, and compassionate when dealing with clients who are going through a tough time . I highly I endorse this lawyer.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
Although Attorney Christie is new to private practice, she is not an inexperienced new attorney. To the contrary, she is a competent attorney who believes whole heartedly in what she does. As a criminal defense attorney who has represented many defendants over many years who were prosecuted by then Assistant State's Attorney Christie, I can attest to her dedication and competence. Over those many years I had many occasions to negotiate plea agreements with her. Attorney Christie was always respectful of my clients and me. She worked with me professionally to reach reasonable case dispositions. I am certain Attorney Christie will be an effective counselor and advocate for the clients she will now represent in her private practice. I endorse her.
