Diligent, empathetic and knowledgeable

Phenomenal communication and knowledge of her area of law. A true pleasure to work with. Cannot say enough great things about this attorney. She works hard, is timely and diligent and knows her stuff. Thank you for being a powerhouse when we needed one.

Smart and Experienced. Excellent in Court

I hired Christina for my 2nd OWI. She’s smart and a straight shooter. I asked her to push for me and we got less time than expected. She told me to get recommendation letters and then based off those she gave an AMAZING speech about my character and who I am. I was almost in tears. After being senten...ced, the clerk screwed up my JOC, she wrote an order to correct the clerical errors and got everything fixed. She had to tell the courts how to do their job properly and they listened to her. She’s so smart and wonderful. She’s very sweet and genuinely cared about me and my case. Love her!

I can't express how grateful I am to have had Christina as my attorney. I was never a person to speak up for myself, so previous times I would just let anything happen in the courtroom just to get out and get it over with because I was so intimidated and a nervous wreck, so to finally have her there ...as confident and knowledgeable as she is really helped me more than she even knew! Christina always did an excellent job at explaining everything that I needed to know ahead of time and what all possible outcomes may be. I would recommend her 100%!
