This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Very Effective

Unlike other attorneys I interviewed before hiring Christian, I found Christian to be pragmatic and a very clear communicator. Too often, people getting divorced are taken advantage of and wind up overspending. Christian prevented me from getting too wrapped up in my emotions -- he looked out for m...e and for my children. I was very fortunate to be introduced to him. Thank you Christian!!!!

Solid, smart and . . .

Mr Pickney has represented me several times. He is very familiar with the courts and the personnel of Nassau county! He is prompt and very courteous to the court. He has made my family stronger due to his well researched and good planning of my cases in court.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

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.
