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.

Highly Recommend

Christine Dalena came highly recommended to me by a friend and she did not disappoint. She addressed my issues with the skill, advocacy and urgency that they required. She was responsive and went above and beyond in assisting me. She was clear and right on point with her advice. I would have no hesit...ancy in recommending her to anyone looking for an extraordinary legal advocate.

highly recommended

My ex husband filed a motion to terminate my support which I was totally dependent on. I was scared. It was not any easy case. After talking with a few attorneys I was referred to Ms. Dalena by others who strongly recommended her.  I eventually hired Ms Dalena. I was extremely satisfied with my selec...tion. I felt very vulnerable at the beginning of the process, but Ms. Dalena quickly allayed my fears. She was extremely patient with me explaining the law and all of my options. In the end she secured a very favorable settlement for me. She was always available and made me feel like she genuinely cared about me and my case. I have worked with other attorneys in the past but none as good as her and her fees were extremely reasonable. I would highly recommend Ms. Dalena.

i highly recommend Christine Dalena

I would just like everyone to know that I used Christine Dalena for my divorce. I can not express how outstanding she was throughout my whole case. She kept me up to date and also returnd calls within hours. She kept me informed but foremost looked out for my best interest. She was very aggressive in... a positive way and extremly organized. I would HIGHLY recommed her to anyone out there going through a divorce.

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.
