About Christine

Prior to attending law school I worked in the law practice industry; however, I was disappointed by the widespread lack of service and unprofessionalism that I observed. I strongly believed that it was possible to provide high quality legal services while still treating clients with the respect and dignity that they deserved, so I quit my job and went on to graduated magna cum laude from Thomas M. Cooley Law School. Today, I strive to maintain that same level of excellence in my practice. I exist to serve my clients. It can be both financially and emotionally draining to be involved in a legal dispute. I understand and appreciate the difficulties that you may be facing, and I am dedicated to finding a solution that is tailored to you and your situation.

    Top Notch Attorney

    Posted by

    If you are looking for an attorney that is honest, and will fight for what is right, Christine Heckler is the one. She will fight for her clients with her vast knowledge of the law. She is kind and compassionate while demanding justice is served. Very blessed to have chosen her.

    When all else fails

    Posted by

    I hired Christina 9 months into a contentious custody battle. My previous attorneys were good but I was getting nowhere. When she wrote her objection it's as if she was representing me all along she knew all the ins and outs of my case .Christina walked into that courtroom with confidence she spoke the law as if she wrote it herself. My battle is not over but I didn't want to write a review based on the outcome. Christina was able to get me my day in court. She brings hope to hopeless. When all else fails give Christina a call she's worth her weight in gold.

    technical excellence

    Ms. Heckler doesn't simply "make a good argument", she supports her/your position with solid case law. She did in excellent job in my case. I would hire her again.

    Ms. Christine Heckler is better than ANY and ALL my lawyers I ever had represent me. She was court appointed but did not present herself this way. The professional conduct she uses is far beyond anything I would expect out of a court-appointed attorney and furthermore I would recommend this lawyer to EVERYONE. She is good.

    Thank you for your imput!

    Dear Ms Heckler, I was inquiring for my own safety of this serial arsonist. This individual lives in my area and the fire was almost in my "back yard." Thank you for your valuable input and for your promptness. Two thumbs up to you!!!
