Christina Adkins was an AMAZING lawyer. She was VERY thorough, thoughtful, & personable at ALL times. My case was not a typical open & close case, but she stayed persistent with the case & details when needed, and laid back & let's things, sort of settle down for a while when I needed it to. All in a...ll, I would give her a SIX star rating if that was possible. There is LITERALLY not one thing that happened that I would give her a poor rating for, everything went ABSOLUTELY fantastic. And the secretary at the main office was AWESOME to work with as well,and kept me in the loop with everything that was happening. I would, and will in the future, recommended them to anyone, and will use her & her firm again if needed. Thank you for everything Christina Adkins

Not only a good lawyer but a good person

My ex-wife refused to allow me to have any contact with my children. After many heartbroken and devastating years of representing myself and getting nowhere, in utter desperation, I realized I needed a lawyer. Choosing Christina was the best decisions I could have made at the time. After only a few m...inutes of consultation, I was completely impressed with her assessment of my situation, but even more so, I was totally reassured by her sincere compassion and empathy. She tenaciously studied my convoluted and nuanced case thoroughly. Not only did she perform her legal obligations exceptionally, her emotional support was priceless. Her expertise and diligence paid off. Because of her, I won the right to be reunified with my children. Words cannot express how grateful and impressed I am with her representation. Christina is one of the best. I encourage anyone in need of a lawyer to hire Christina Adkins.

Christina, highly recommended.

Christina took my ex to court more than once to force him to sell joint property from a divorce. She is dedicated to the task. She watched out for me to make sure I didn’t get screwed by him. I recommend her highly. Lee Ann

thorough and extremely knowledgeable

having a tough relocation case Christina showed poise under pressure & was very knowledgeable about the areas to be covered for such a case & was extremely thorough in presenting the best case for the relocation to be approved. Having knowledge in all areas of family law she was able to draw from the...m and she went above and beyond expectations in doing so. She was reassuring without giving unrealistic expectations for the outcome. I was very happy she was on my side of the court room & if there was to be another time where her expertise was needed I would not hesitate to call her again.
