Mike Christiansen - an excellent attorney.

Mike Christiansen has been our Corporate Lawyer for over 15 years. Although we now have a very close and healthy business relationship, his responsiveness, genuine interest and desire to assist have been the same as they were when I first met Mike and engaged his services. His advice has always been ...in the best interest of clients, and we have been fortunate to have such an excellent source of legal advice and assistance. He is very dependable and his advice is sound and genuinely in the best interest of clients. As a CEO and a long term client of Mike's, I not only have no reservations whatsoever, but I am indeed, pleased, to recommend Mike Christiansen to any individual, business or entity.

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.
