Great Adoption Lawyer

My husband and I used Nikki for an adoption back in 2019. Our adoption was much more in depth than planned and things got way crazy. Nikki was their calming us every step of the way. She did so much more than was expected. It was also supposed to be a dual state adoption that ended up having to b...e single. She spent NUMEROUS hours for us learning and walking us through everything and the craziness that came with the adoption situation. I can't fail to mention that we were asked to adopt and only given 2 weeks to plan before our son was born. If we would adopt again we would MOST DEFINITELY use her!

Excellent Adoption Attorney

I have had the pleasure of working with Christine to complete 2 adoptions in Greene County. She is extremely knowledgeable and efficient! She made the difficult process seamless and moved our cases along quickly. She is very responsive to emails and text messages and kept me informed at all times.... I highly recommend Christine!

Made my Divorce easy!!

Christine was recommended to me by my blended case manager at the time to help me start and file my divorce, she was absolutely incredible. She answered every question i had and did everything in a timely manner and kept in contact throughout the entire experience. Not only did she file the paperwork... and follow through until i got my final Divorce decree, she even had my name change sent in so i could go back to my maiden name as soon as i was divorced! She was flawless and made sure i was divorced before the end of last year on December 27th! I would recommend her to anyone and she even worked with me on payments due to me not having a lot of income at the time. Shes professional, and made getting a divorce entertaining!

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.
