Attention to detail.

Christine did an amazing job with my case. It was a challenging matter that required creative solutions, and she had the experience and attention to detail to get the outcome I needed.

Never Again

Christine was very helpful and attentive until she received my retainer, then things fell apart. She was repeatedly unprepared for our meetings and offered zero advice on how to negotiate a settlement with my ex. Basically she filed paperwork and I was on my own for the rest. On our final court date ...I had several questions about the divorce decree that had been prepared by opposing counsel, but she arrived at court (late) and had not even read the document herself yet. I felt pressured to settle on terms I wasn't happy with in order to avoid a lengthy trial and thousands in additional legal fees. I would never use her again nor recommend her to anyone.

I am sorry that you are dissatisfied with my legal services, but your experience does not reflect my procedure of practicing law. First, I start with a retainer, specifically discussed prior to any representation. I offer a free phone consultation and one office consultation for a flat $75 fee. If you are dissatisfied with my representation, you may contact me 24/7 on text, email, or phone call to address your concern. Second, I personally compose every divorce decree. I am very particular with my client's decree as I believe in being extremely thorough to help my clients avoid future litigation. I would NEVER finalize a divorce decree without having the decree at least a week prior to the final hearing and discussing the document with my client either in a phone or office consultation (whichever works best for the client). Therefore, I have NEVER been to a final hearing without reading a proposed decree. Feel free to call my office to discuss a resolution. I strive to have happy and well informed clients.

  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
