She really cares

I retained Balisteri for family court and she did a great job. I had bad experiences with lawyers and family court in the past and her genuine concern for me and my case was encouraging. She was very knowledgeable able and took time to explain things thoroughly. Would recommend.

Got us the best outcome possible

When my son got caught in a sting, Christina took time with us to explain the legal processes we would encounter. She was an effective negotiator with DA. It took time, and over time the plea deal got better. I recommend her enthusiastically.

Awful Attorney

Between hiring this lawyer and Mark Pecora, they were completely disorganized. The only thing the two of them did for our case was attend to the court dates, and was late twice! Not once did they meet and talk about the case before court or in between court dates. When we called or texted about our c...ase for an update, we wouldn't recieve feedback til days later. There was always some lame excuse! At sentencing, the closing statement, Christina was stumbling over her own words. She was nervous and did not sound confident at all. It was as if she was reading a speech, all she did was stated the facts. She was not convincing and sounded like a total ameutuer. The sentence was ridiculous and since after court, do you think she even cared to respond to a text! Hell no, she was an awful lawyer and acted as if she was a rookie. FIND A DIFFERENT LAWYER!
