I am a native of Anne Arundel County, Maryland, and have focused my legal profession in the area of family law. After law school, I began working with law firms as an associate attorney focusing mainly on family law cases. I have successfully negotiated and resolved numerous divorce and custody cases, and I have tried numerous contested divorce cases and contested custody cases across the State of Maryland, with my primary practice in Anne Arundel County. Not only have I represented parties in divorce and custody actions, I have also been appointed by the Court as a best interests attorney for children. Additionally, I volunteer some of my time at the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County as a facilitator to help mediate cases at Scheduling Conferences.
In recognition of my standing in the legal community, I have been designated as a Rising Star by Super Lawyers and Baltimore magazines for the past three years.
In regards to my education, I received my Juris Doctor degree from the University of Maryland School of Law in 2003. During law school, I served as an Affiliate Editor of Margins Law Journal and served as a summer judicial clerk for the Honorable Judge Philip T. Caroom, in the Circuit Court for Anne Arundel County. I received my undergraduate degree Magna Cum Laude from the University of Maryland located in College Park in the year 2000. I was a member of the prestigious Phi Beta Kappa Honor Society.

Best interest of the child is a sound bite. I hope she can sleep at night because my kids are living with an abusive alcoholic but they have deeper pockets than I do. One star was selected only to submit.

For your support and expertise throughout this ongoing child custody case.

"Christina is an excellent lawyer and very knowledgeable in the area of divorce, child custody and other family law matters. I refer all of my clients to her for assistance with their family law needs as I know she will provide them with the very best legal representation."
"I endorse this lawyer. She is very well prepared, compassionate, and respected in the legal community. Christina has great people skills, and works well with other lawyers even in difficult situations. She is very knowledgeable about divorce, custody and all issues that families deal with in their most difficult times."
"Christina Bayne is the real deal. She is smart as a whip, well prepared, a pleasure to work with or against, has the respect of the judges and represents her clients zealously. I fully expect Christina to be called " Your Honor" some day in the future. For now, however, one need look no further for a lawyer other than Christina. I have been practicing many decades and she recently whipped my butt in a highly complicated and fiercely contested matter, but did so with the highest degree of professionalism. Lawyers on the other side of cases from Christina had better bring their "A" game or they will have very disappointed clients. she represents the best of the Bar."
"Christina is an excellent attorney. I have had several cases against her and in each case she represented her client in an aggressive and highly competent manner. I would recommend her to any person searching for an attorney."
"Christina and I have been opposing counsel on a number of cases. In each, I know I can expect her to be a competent and well-prepared advocate for her clients."
"Christina and I were opposing counsel in a divorce case. She is easy to work with and very knowledgeable in family law matters."
"Christina is always well prepared and very knowledgeable about the law. She is a true advocate for her clients."
"I endorse this lawyer. She works hard for her clients but is respectful and courteous to opposing counsel. I have worked with Ms. Bayne as opposing counsel on many cases and she is an excellent attorney."
"I endorse this lawyer. Ms. Bayne is a well respected lawyer in the community. She is very knowledgeable in all areas of family and domestic practice."
