Joe Garone

Christin Georgelas is an outstanding attorney. Going to court can be very stressful, but Christin's knowledge and experience is a relief and brings calm to the contentious situations that arise during litigation. Christin is very honest and to the point; it is evident that she has a great reputation ...among other lawyers and with the courts. Christin has proven to be great at predicting outcomes and using her wisdom to set realistic goals and expectation. Christin Georgelas prepares intricate cases and then explains the cases without missing any minor details. Christin is proactive and stays engaged with her client throughout the process. Christin provides smart legal advice and recommendations for the day-to-day situations that can arise throughout a case. In court, Christin Georgelas is a sharp, adaptable trial attorney. She does not entertain pettiness and the semantics from the other side. She communicates clearly and concisely in open court and presents herself with an intelligent and common sense approach. Having worked with her for years, I strongly recommend hiring Christin Georgelas.

Child custody lawyer | Nov 04

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"I am a family law attorney who has been licensed in Alabama for over thirty-five years. A large percentage of my practice involves child custody cases. I recently worked on a very complex paternity and custody case with attorney Georgelas. We represented the same client on issues pending in multiple states. I handled the Alabama litigation while attorney Georgelas handled the Virginia litigation. Throughout the cases, I communicated with attorney Georgelas and had an opportunity to review her motions and other filings in the Virginia case. In my opinion, her communication and writing skills are second to none. I can say without reservation that attorney Georgelas is an exceptional family lawyer with an advanced level of knowledge regarding complex custody, interstate, and jurisdictional issues. She is one of the most competent family law attorneys with whom I have had the pleasure of working. If I had any type of family law case in Virginia, I would not consider hiring anyone but her."

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Christin is a natural in her element as a family law attorney and guardian ad litem. She is professional but also personable in her approach. I have had the chance to personally observe her in action in the courtroom and outside the courtroom, in the halls of the courthouse, addressing each party’s concerns and positioning herself to best represent and advocate her client’s interest once she appears in court. She enjoys a good reputation among colleagues. She is knowledgeable and hard-working and honest in her opinion (sensible and pragmatic). I endorse this lawyer."

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.
