Divorce Client;

Christina was a great ally to have in my corner through the toughest time in my life. She came to me highly recommended, So there was no need to keep looking. I trusted her, knowing she would have my best Interest. She is highly knowledgeable, highly experienced, compassionate, and TOUGH. Her... office staff is top notch as well. Stephanie made sure I was on track with required documents and not to loose focus. There were times I just wanted to throw in the towel. They were there to hear me vent and cry at times. They guided me through keeping me from not falling apart. They return calls immediately and prepare documents in the same fashion. Not to mention keeping me informed of important dates to be aware of for my divorce hearings. I couldn't have made a better choice of an attorney. I highly recommend her.

Good Attorney and Advocate

Christina was very responsive and filed all necessary documents in a timely manner. Updates were sent daily if not more often, which is rare from a lawyer. She also stayed after hours to help settle and kindly negotiated and advised me on my options.

GREAT LAWYERS!

Going through a tough time in your marriage can be so scary however, Mr. Brad McDonald had my best interest at heart and gave me honest advice and opinions, rapid responses, and did not make me feel pressured for a second. He gave me all my options and did not push me one way or another instead was t...here if I had a question about a process, paper work, etc. He allowed me to make my decision based on all information that was true to the law (which gave me so much comfort for someone to break it down). Thank God my husband and I have decided to work it out and he was so happy and supportive. He did not make me feel bad, instead wished me the best. Mrs. Christina Anton Garcia, was there to guide me in the right direction (Brad) and shown compassion and understanding and when I told her we decided to reconcile, she really supported me and my decision. Brad and Christina are part the story in the restoration of my marriage. I'm forever grateful for you guys. You are heaven sent! **Eisy**

High Value, High Integrity and the DV expert

Hiring the Best attorney is the most important decision one makes! Mrs. Anton Garcia came, highly recommended by another (attorney), and remembered the compliment, Judge Stoddard noted during one of my initial hearings (She is an excellent option for your case). When I met Mrs. Anton I realized,... she is worth every cent I could invest to preserve the safety and dignity of all involved. She is incredibly knowledgeable, but also has a high level of emotional intelligence and empathy. I entered her office feeling defeated and left feeling, "heard, validated and confident"; with the information provided by Ms. Garcia. Once, I shared with the respondent in my case, that I met with Ms. Garcia; he decided to move towards settling vs. pushing for a trial. He noted his attorney didn't want to go to trial with Ms. Garcia! A divorce is a painful and disruptive family (life) experience. And money can be made, but hiring Ms. Garcia is absolutely an investment that will ensure your divorce will proceed with and end with respect for all parties involved, even though she is respectfully and aggressive in negotiating I also hired Ms. Garcia in a non traditional way, because I wanted to advocate (in court alone). She understood my situation and worked with me so I would be prepared. Her guidance was life-changing. I negotiated more than expected. The key is (following her guidance and trusting the process). I would not trust my family's future to any other attorney than Ms. Garcia. She is respected among her colleagues, judges and past clients. She has a proven track record of high negotiation outcomes, which makes an already painful process, less disruptive by avoiding a long and costly trial. I was willing to sign over a property, to pay for her "trial" preparation, because of the seriousness in my case, but her guidance before the pre-trial was so effective that "the respondent's attorney was released from representing him!" She has a team of professionals available to answer questions if she's in court, but you can also expect a call from her cell, if she knows her client needs re-assurance. Simply outstanding... To have her represent you and your family (regardless petitioner or respondent); is the most important gift you can give yourself and all involved. Let's say, Ms. Garcia is a force to avoid if one is the respondent! Example in my case, the attorney for the respondent was retained for over 20k by my ex-husband. Yet, the respondent's 30 year aggressive (male/misogynistic) attorney opted out of a case when realizing, the strategy and guidance was coming from Ms. Garcia. I think enough is said. May God send you and your family love, light and a victory during your difficult and life changing event. I believe, attorney's like Ms. Anton give the profession the recognition and respect needed to face any giant. Hiring Ms. Anton is an answered prayer (especially if you relax, breath and do exactly what she suggest; plus no need to ever wonder if she will follow thru or if she cares). Her intention to help families stay safe and re-build seemed to be the foundation I was blessed with to end this chapter with dignity, and safety. I hope she considers running for Judge! She has a gift and talent that will ensure safety and resources need, are awarded in domestic violence cases. ....I hope this message helps your situation! It is the least I can do for the outcome I received with Ms. Garcia walking beside me when I was discarded and financially/emotionally debilited. Peace be with you and with your family!

Exceptional Service and Attention!

Christina was there for me through my entire divorce. She was a tremendous asset to have on my side and always answered the phone even on the weekends or when she was on vacation. Christina always had my best interests in mind and she is a pit bull when it comes to defending her clients. Her knowledg...e and passion for practicing law is evident every step of the way. Katrina and Tina were also always there to help and made sure my questions were answered quickly!
