Christina did a great job getting the best possible outcome for a difficult case. She was competent and kept me posted. No matter how many times I contacted her with my concerns she was very reassuring and considerate. She is a fine lawyer

A ten-year sentence for 2nd VOP became a reinstatement of probation

My fiance was facing ten years for a second VOP. The Mander law Group was recommended to me, and Ms. LaMaida was assigned to the case. She may appear demure, but she is exceedingly competent and proficient, and is definitely on top of everything. The judge had already declared my fiance was going aw...ay for a decade (while represented by a public defender), but Ms. LaMaida's work with all involved now has my fiance reinstated back on probation - and our wedding on track. We owe her our lives. Thank you, Christina, from the bottom of my heart!

Knowledgeable+ Comforting

In a time of uncertainty I felt like everything I was saying was heard. My courtroom experience was calmed by her abilities. We conquered what had been impossible.

Attention to detail

Christina came to my mediation with a full parenting plan written up. The other side did not have that. Medation used it and just had to add a few things and take a few things away. This made for a very fast turn around and no time wasted. Had any and all information we might need. Very detail orient...ed and easy to follow. I was very impressed with her calm strong sence of what I wanted and what was in my best interest. I will have her help in years to come.
