Best lawyer ever

I am not sure where we would be without Ms. Rankin. She has been there for my family in a time of great distress. She and her team went out of their way to give peace to my mother during her last days. She has also guided me through every step of the way during the process to handle my mother's estat...e. We were so comfortable with her that we asked her to handle our family's planning. She makes discussing difficult decisions so much easier. I would recommend anyone with an estate or probate need to call her.

A Highly Recommended Trusts & Wills and Estate Attorney

As Successor Trustee of my father's estate I hired Christina in advance of my father's passing. I work in the insurance industry and, over the years, have worked extensively with attorneys in civil litigation as part of my employment. My wife is also a paralegal and, the result of all of this, is tha...t I knew I had to do my homework before selecting my attorney because trusts & wills are complex and you when it comes to the law and assets, you simply have to get it right. Christina Green Rankin came highly recommended through business networking activity I am involved with in my community and I additionally learned from other sources, including a trusted neighbor that had hired her, that Christina has a stellar reputation in this field and should be first on anyone's list of candidates for representation in trusts and wills, estate planning, etc. One of my favorite intangibles in hiring Christina is that her father practices in this same field and I imagined it highly likely that she literally grew up in his law offices and has probably been discussing trusts and associated matters around the dinner table for decades! Or maybe that's just my imagination but, for me, knowing that she was born into this profession, along with her stellar academic achievements, was a very strong plus. After my father passed, as difficult as things were, I was thankful to find Christina to be incredibly smart, professional, timely in her responses, up to date on everything, and insightful. Equally important was her positivity, and uplifting spirit. Of course, there were twists and turns along our legal road and every step of the way it was reaffirmed that I had the right lawyer at my side. We ultimately finished with a very efficient settlement and disbursement of the estate. I really appreciated that Christina exercised endless patience with me and her professionalism in taking the time to explain things so understandably and answer all of my questions. Her staff was also very organized, courteous and prompt and this often overlooked fact should also be considered when hiring a lawyer.

highly recommendable

My wife and I received the most specific information for our estate planning. With the knowledge of attorney Christina Rankin it was a pleasure to follow her explanations and recommendations pertaining to our case. It was a great pleasure working with her.

Restored my faith in the legal profession!

Had come from a situation where a lawyer left me with an unfinished product. Mrs. Rankin was recommended to assist me with my legal situation. The area in which I needed an expert was very complicated and I needed a lawyer who was really was up to date with the latest statutes dealing with wills an...d trusts. I really hit the jackpot, aside from being very friendly and easy to work with, her depth of legal knowledge was very evident. Answered all my questions, kept us aware of what she was doing throughout the process and the outcome was a professionally developed legal document. My trust in the field of law has been restored!
