Top Marks

Christine was an outstanding resource for us. She efficiently managed all communications with the court, gave us ample time and guidance to provide her necessary support materials, provided realistic expectations for the outcome of the case, and effectively represented us to the prosecutor. We coul...dn’t have been more pleased with her work or the disposition of the case. While I hope to not need Christine’s services again, her number is the first number I would call if necessary.

Christine was amazing throughout the whole process.

She was not only great at keeping communication between us strong, but she also made sure to explain things in depth to assure I was aware of any and all options. When things would be pushed or extended, she was also very assuring it was for the best and that it would garner the results I wanted. She... went above and beyond in making sure I could trust her throughout the whole process and I could not have asked for a better person to work with.

Best of the best for DV in CT

I never ever imagined that I would get in any sort of criminal troubles in my life. That goes to show that the future is unpredictable. 2015 and 2016 were bad years for me. I lived my post divorce years too irresponsibly, drank too much always. I acted afoul of a basic laws and got in trouble wi...th domestic violence events, with only me being the party in trouble. I ended up behind bars after large bonds were tagged on me by the state of CT. I was then told by a fellow executive like me to get in touch with the law office of Mark Sherman. That’s what I did and when I met Christine, the lead attorney in all of the cases against me. Christine did a phenomenal job getting me out of trouble and was able to get rid of all 3 felony charges against me, and that’s after getting me getting my high bond down to $0. I actually was never sentenced to spend one day in prison thanks to her work. In many ways, Christine made the future predictable for me. I am back at work as an exec today and have put my life back together. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of legal help in criminal matters, particularly domestic violence in CT. FLC from CT

Forever grateful

Christine represented our family when our son was in trouble. It was a traumatic time for us and Christine handled our situation with care, compassion, and the utmost professionalism. She guided us through the whole process and she and her firm worked with the DA to resolve the case. We would reco...mmend her and her firm to anyone with criminal or domestic issues. We cannot say enough good things about Christine. Highly, highly recommended!

Grateful client

Hello.. I am writing this review for my attorney Christine Lynn landis. I was at a point in my life when things were really going horrible. I was in a nightmare situation being charged with larceny facing serious time. I was 17 yrs old when my troubles began. I was used and betrayed by a man that... I thought loved me. He abused me and had me living in constant fear for my life. After 2 terrifying years of verbal mental physical and sexual abuse I finally had a chance to escape him. During those 2 yrs I was forced to committed acts out of fear. I knew that one day these choices would catch up to me but I was too afraid to face them. Once I fled the state trying to get as far away from him as possible and try to rebuild my life. I started working.. Seeking counselling.. And reconnecting with my family.. Then one day going to work the taxi I was in was pulled over by the police. The officer said the drivers light was broken and he asked me for my I. D. He ran my name and a warrant for my arrest showed up from 2 yrs ago. Now all my fears were awoken again. I was arrested and trasfered to Connecticut where my crime was committed and many people associated with my abuser. I had no money and no-one to help me in this horrifying predicament. My mother searching for help for young girls who were sex trafficked found Christine. From the first meeting I had with Christine she helped comfort me. She spoke to me as a caring and understanding woman who felt my pain and hardship and genuinely wanted to help me. From her first involvement in my case she improved my circumstances. I didn't have bail money. And she pleaded my case to get me out. She kept in contact with me regularly informing me of what was before me. She would always give me the positive and the negative of my case. She didn't hold anything back. And even if things weren't looking too well.. She still gave me encouragement and hope. Now yesterday I received the best news that my case was closed. I'm so happy and grateful to Christine for all her help and support. For anybody being arrested it is a scary thing. But for a young woman it is very frightening. Christine helped me. For anyone else in my situation looking for a attorney I recommend Christine landis. And to christines boss.. She needs a raise! (Smile.. thank you Christine for everything. From me and my mother. I hope great things await you in your future. You helped to change my life for the better. Take care. Sincerely.. Your Grateful client
