Cherie Lane Cash-Kristinus

Cherie Cash Kristinus walked beside me through the most difficult and painful chapter of my life. This wasn’t just a legal case—it was my life, my child, my future—and Cherie understood that from day one. For over a year and a half, I faced emotional highs and lows, moments of fear and frustration, b...ut through it all, Cherie remained steady, committed, and truly in my corner. There were times I was exhausted, discouraged, and felt like giving up—but Cherie didn’t. She never wavered. She showed up every time it mattered, armed with knowledge, passion, and a fierce dedication to justice. She fought for me like it was personal, and that’s something I’ll never forget. What touched me most is that Cherie is not just a brilliant attorney—she’s a mother too. She understood my heartache, my fears, and my urgency in a way only another mom could. And somehow, even while managing her own full life, she still gave everything she could to help me protect mine. If you’re going through something that feels unbearable, and you need someone who truly cares, who will stand strong when you can’t—call Cherie. She gave me hope when I had none left, and I’ll forever be grateful to her for that!

Cherie expertly guided us through a very difficult situation where we had to gain custody of our four grandchildren. She listens and ask the questions that allows her to provide the best actions in achieving the desired outcome(s). She pursued court date immediately and delivered our case expertly.... She truly made us feel that we were a team in this pursuit. We are very happy and know we have found a friend.

I was appointed Cheri Kristinus to be my lawyer for my sons case. We had to end up moving it to a custody case, and i retained her as my lawyer. She fought against all odds, my sons father had custody throughthe seneca nation indian reservation. I thought there would be no way we could win with that ...court being on my sons fathers side, but she did everything possible, worked hard and made a way for Tennessee to have jurisdiction on our case. We went for our final hearing yesterday, and we won!!! I was granted custody, and child support for my son. If you are looking for a lawyer to win your case, no matter how much you think it may be a lost cause, she is the one you want!! I promise you wont be disappointed!!

Words can not describe my gratitude for Cherie! This has been a VERY stressful process, to the point where I wanted to "throw in the towel", in hopes of Peace of Mind. Cherie has encouraged me to hang in there and advised me of my rights as a single mother with DISCONTINUE financial support from th...e father. She was with me every step of the way. I feel like I gained a sister, as well as an attorney. I am VERY satisfied with the judgement in my case. I will miss our attorney-client relationship, but I look forward to keeping in touch with such a beautiful and sweet soul.
