Posted by Marlene | February 7, 2025 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Highly recommend.

Christine is an amazing attorney. She knows the law. She is able to guide her clients through tough decisions. She is not solely focused on making money for herself, but in doing what is right for her clients. We had to fight the executor of my parents will to act ethically. The executor took her pow...er the the extreme, and Christine did everything in her power to take care of the beneficiaries since it was clear the executor and her attorney were not. We are better off as a result. She is fair, smart, and knows the law. She is aimed at doing what is right and just. Whether you need help contesting or getting your affairs in order, Christine is your person.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
