General Practice 13%

Advocates for Justice is a FULL SERVICE firm which means I will provide you and your family with legal counsel. We feel being an attorney that only handles one specialty area is like being a mechanic that can only fix the fanbelt.

13%
Criminal Defense 11%

Advocating for clients and defending thier rights has always been an area of my legal practice that I am passionate about. When rights are violated and left unchecked it creates a corrupt environment. As a criminal defense attorney I strive to prevent injustice by making certain my clients recieve a vigorous defense.

Family 10%

All Families need to have an attorney they can turn to for legal needs. I look at clients holistically- much like a "Family Dr." by providing personal service with respect and integrity I build relationships that can help my clients through a multitude of legal concerns. In this way I can coordinate the treatment for different legal needs so that the chosen soloution for any particular legal matter does not negatively impact another legal matter.

Speeding and Traffic Ticket 10%

Traffic Infractions can impact insurance rates but it can also hurt you in an accident even where you were not at fault. Your traffic points may alter the way police officers percieve you as a "safe" driver. That means points on your license can directly translate to a perception that you were at fault in a motor vehicle accident situation.

Brain Injury 5%

An untrained eye may not recognize the hidden or sometimes subtle indicators of (TBI) Traumatic Brain Injury but it is an area of law I am educated to deal with both as a former special education teacher and currently as an attorney who has witnessed and dealt with the devastating lifelong effects these injuries can cause.

DUI and DWI 5%

The effects of a DUI can be difficult and demanding it is my job to investigate and gather evidence to make sure my client is not unjustly seized and deprived of thier license.

5%
Federal Crime 5%

Federal court is unlike State court in that it requires specific pleading formats and special permissions to access online pleading platforms. As a member of the US District Court for the Middle District of Florida I have that ability.

Having handled legal and personal issues when my own son became injured on a Motorcycle due to an unaware motorist I have a personal interest in helping motocycle accident victims recieve the compensation they are owed.

An Honest Attorney!

I used the firm Advocates for Justice to help me when I thought I was going to lose me house and Christy Greene was there every step of the way talking to the credit card companies and the lender to help me stay in my house. When I decided to move anyway I was afraid Christy would keep all of my reta...iner but she gave me back all of it! I know she had to have put in some hours but she didn't keep any of it. An Honest Attorney! Thanks Christy

General practice lawyer | Oct 08

Relationship: Co-worker

"I have worked with Ms. Greene for 1 1/2 years as in-house counsel for a Fortune 500 title insurance company. I have had the opportunity to review much of her work product, as well as partcipate in or ascertain how she handles interactions with fellow attorneys in our department; outside counsel; insureds; and opposing parties and their counsel. I would rate Ms. Greene very highly both in her professional attitude towards all of the aforementioed individuals, and in her efficacy of the insured's interests. Ms. Greene brings a unique combination of skill, desire, and tenaciousness together with a superior work attitude that would benefit any client she may ever represent."
