I could only give four stars because 10 wasn't an option

By far the best and not just as what she does but as a person, if you are searching for an attorney stop your search immediately and look no further. Christina's competency, knowledge and work exceeded expectations and the results that she was able to achieve for me show! I am forever greatful!

Excellent attorney, compassionate and aggressive.

My attorney put me at ease and made this very scary legal process bearable. She fought on my behalf and resolved my case above and beyond what was expected.

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.
