My voice of reason

Christen was my lawyer throughout my long and grueling divorce case that lasted almost two years. She was extremely professional, diligent and always answered me back extremely fast. It was such a hard time in my life and having Christen as my lawyer helped to make it so much easier. She was my voice... of reason when I needed it and someone that I truly trusted had my best interests at hand. She was always more than prepared at every hearing and willing to stand up to anyone necessary. She is very well versed in family law and always pointed me in the right direction. Divorce can be the worst time in someone’s life and to have an attorney with the knowledge and passion to get you through it is priceless!!

Amazing and best Attorney in Palm Beach County

Mrs. Ritchey is not only professional but what I have seen countless times is she has passion and heart for what she does. It is evident in the courtroom as she will defend her clients relentlessly and will always do what is in their best interest. She does not sugar coat, is honest and has a wealth ...of knowledge regarding case law. She will take time to listen and offer feedback. Mrs. Ritchey is very responsive with e-mail and phone calls. My case for the last year has centered around some parental alienation as well as issues with my child’s mother. In fact, most recently I was having difficulty obtaining my daughters passport for travel outside of the country. Her mother refused to provide it unless I signed a document agreeing that she will control the passport and other stipulations. Mrs. Ritchey immediately drew up a counter stipulation and in the end while nothing was signed by either party because of her counsel and support I was able to obtain the passport without further back and forth bickering. Mrs. Ritchey is also well respected by judges across the County. What I also have appreciated about Mrs. Ritchey is she really goes beyond the mark. She will fight and will always find the positive in your case regardless of the outcome. Her dedication to my case and to her profession sets the bar very high for others. I would recommend Mrs. Ritchey for your family court cases and I will also state Mrs. Ritchey is not the type of attorney that just seeks your money. In fact, if possible she tries to avoid the court room drama and does her best to try to settle things between opposing counsel out of court which in essence saves time and money. No one likes to go through long drawn out battles and she is aware of this. As stated above if needed she will and will fight. When needed she is aggressive. You can’t go wrong with Mrs. Ritchey.

Thank you so much

Going through a divorce after a long marriage wasn’t easy and very stressful time in my life. Christen Ritchey help me get through this stressful time because she was super knowledgeable. She made me feel comfortable from the beginning of the process. She always kept me informed of every step, she kn...ew which precedent court cases would apply to my case, her prediction were always correct, she was patient and remained in character, and she gathered current information which assisted with winning my case. I felt confident that I selected the right lawyer after seeing her in action.

Professional, Knowledgeable, Experienced

Attorney Christen Ritchey, as well as her partner Caroline Johnson have assisted me and several of my family members in various legal matters over the last ten years. Ms. Ritchey handled each legal matter with enthusiasm and great professionalism. At all times, she kept us well apprised of the status... of our cases, and, as busy as she was, she always found the time to quickly respond to calls and emails and promptly answered all questions that we had. In the cases that required it, she applied the exact amount of aggressiveness needed and always accomplished the goal at hand. For that, I (and my family) could not have been happier with the services received from Ms. Ritchey. She is very smart and has proven to be more than capable of tackling complex legal issues. I would highly recommend her, and her partner Ms. Johnson, for all your legal needs. You will not be disappointed.
