Beyond Compare!

As a mom, my job was to recommend Christine to my 19 year old son when he needed legal representation on a speeding ticket that, due to a previous at fault accident, could have cost him his license, his job, and made getting himself to college classes a significant difficulty. I had absolute faith in... Christine's ability to negotiate the best possible outcome on his behalf. I am pleased to say she did just that and more! My son was advised on what actions he needed to take and what to expect in court. I attended the hearing and was inspired by her professionalism and how she engaged my son previous to his case being called. She explained the outcome of her negotiation and what it meant to him. She spoke directly to him, as I was an observer. I do not believe that he could have had better representation.

You are very appreciated

Christine's legal skills, professionalism, and thoroughness is what I was very grateful to have. She kept me posted on all news pertaining to my case. I would highly recommend Christine to anyone in need of legal assistance.

family crisis

Our daughter was in legal trouble and so our family was in crisis. We needed a lawyer! We had no idea of who was most qualified to defend her. We asked friends and friends of friends (including other lawyers) and Christine was recommended repeatedly! We consulted with Christine and felt very comfo...rtable having her represent us. She is smart and well prepared. She was open and thoughtful during our discuss of the situation and we felt heard! She did a great service for our daughter. Christine's competency is also reflected in her office staff. Jean and Katie are wonderful-- they always knew immediately who we were when we called-never felt lost in the shuffle. The case took a year to move through the court system. All of our multitude of questions over that year were followed up and answered. They were always available! We are greatful to have found this office of professionals!

Christine is the Best Lawyer !

In 2012 I was arrested for Theft by taken and while I was in the holding tank my brother looked up a lawyer for me and came across Christine Koehler. She got me out on Bail the same day and then when I actually got to meet her and tell her my side of the story she agreed to take my case. It was a lon...g process...there was a moment when I just wanted to enter a Plea and Christine told me No we will fight it all the way. She kept me in the loop every step of the way. If I did not talk to her then her assistant Katie was able to help me. Needless to say she not only cleared my name she gave me my life back. I would definitely recommend her to any one that I know. I just want to say Thanks from the bottom of my heart.

"Christine is THE Gwinnett County Criminal Defense lawyer. As a result of Christine's most recent death penalty case, the legislature had to change the law to make it easier for the prosecutors to take a life. She single-handedly changed the way potential jurors are selected in this county. Thanks to Christine, we now have jurors who better represent Gwinnett County. She is dynamic in and out of the courtroom. This is why she is in such high demand to speak to criminal defense lawyers across the nation. You simply cannot find a better lawyer."

"Christine practices outside my usual stomping ground but she was a year ahead of me in law school about 17 years ago. Since then, she has been named a super lawyer but I would label her more as a kick-ass Goddess of Criminal law. Her reputation for taking on major cases and challenging courts and district attorneys at every turn is state-wide. She works hard and she's smarter than everybody else in virtually any courtroom."
