Best of the Best!!

Christine Dalena and her assistant Brenda helped me navigate through a terrible time in my life finding myself needing a divorce lawyer after 35 years of marriage. Christine is a top-notch attorney who is respected among her peers in Family and Matrimonial law. However, unlike other attorneys who hav...e crossed my path, she is understanding, compassionate, and was always a phone call or email away keeping me up to date on my matter. I am a paralegal who works daily with law firms and attorneys and within minutes of our initial phone call, Christine was the one to handle my divorce. She is excellent and I highly recommend her and her team at Laufer, Dalena, Jensen & Doran who helped me achieve a very favorable outcome.

Attorney Review

I would strongly recommend Christine Dalena to anyone looking for a great advocate and compassionate attorney. She was referred to me by another attorney who spoke extremely highly of her, and he was 100% correct. Throughout the process I always felt protected knowing that she was looking out for my ...best interest. She was always professional, highly attentive and extremely knowledgeable on the law. She consistently kept me apprised of the statue of my case and was right on point on how my case would likely resolve. She was well prepared for all court appearances and was commended on her preparedness. She achieved a great result for me, and her fees were extremely reasonable. I would highly recommend her.

Competent and compassionate

Christine is an excellent attorney and I can’t say enough good things about her. I’ve been a client of Christine’s for several years and she is always the first person I consult with on legal issues. Christine’s strengths are thinking quickly on her feet (this is especially important in family law ma...tters) and pragmatically. She is able to recall important facts with accuracy and speed. She is exceptional at analyzing and fully understanding complex financial information. She possesses finesse and professionalism in the courtroom. Anyone going through a family law matter knows it can be a black hole and difficult to deal with but it is much less daunting when Christine is in your corner. As someone who is unfamiliar with the legal process, she listened to what I wanted/was looking for and made sure that how we got there was legally strategic. I’ve rarely come across an attorney that is both competent and has the compassion of a real person, like Christine. I highly recommend Christine Dalena.

I hired Christine to represent me in a contentious divorce. She is a fabulous family law attorney who explained how the process worked in great detail. This was a well organized firm that was prompt with responses. From our first meeting, I was impressed with how she listened and treated me. I would... highly recommend her and her team.

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.
