Posted by anonymous | October 24, 2022 | Hired Attorney | Family

An ok attorney

She represented me in a highly contested family custody case and the end results were disappointing. Christy is friendly/knowledgeable, but her strategy throughout my case was very underwhelming and felt the opposing counsel outshined her at trial/approach. Also, it’s very eye-opening when the GAL te...lls you in private that the other attorney is really good - you know your attorney is not doing enough. Another critique- I felt she was too easy to push me to “give” or find middle ground which allowed opposing counsel to get more for his client. Overall, she’s ok for a simple trial. Not a highly contested case with very experienced attorney.
