About Christina
Biography
I am an attorney with a focus on family law and general civil litigation. In this role I assist clients with dissolution of marriage, paternity, child support, modification and negotiating agreements. The newest addition to my area of practice is collaborative family law which helps families avoid litigation, minimize the legal expenses, and likely move forward in a more agreeable fashion than battling it out in a courtroom. I am very excited to grow this area of practice and help families resolve issues in a positive light.
While I enjoy all aspects of my job, I think my favorite part of a matter is working with the client to assess the issues of a case and find the most effective and economical means of accomplishing a resolution.
In 2012, I was honored in being awarded as a Legal Elite Up-and-Comer.
This past July, my husband and I summited Mt. Kilimanjaro along with two friends and the help of our guide, Wilfred Moshi, of Kili-Treks.
In 2006, as a member of Team In Training, I ran the Walt Disney World Marathon. Since that time I have run a half-marathon a year.
