Hire her!

Christine is one of the most skilled family law attorneys in the area. She will help accomplish your goals but at the same time she will be up front with you regarding realistic expectations. This is exactly what you should seek in an attorney. Christine is very trustworthy and almost all of her clie...nts are solely based on referrals. If you are in need of an attorney for a divorce, custody matter or other family law related matters, I would highly recommend retaining Christine.

DO NOT USE and DO NOT RECOMMEND.

DO NOT USE and DO NOT RECOMMEND. Worst divorce lawyer who failed her client. Seems she took on more cases than she can handle, and may have mixed up client cases. She lacked the ability to listen to client's needs or wants, and lacks integrity, honesty and professional ethics. Christine did not thoro...ughly and carefully read through documents, bullied client into signing under diress, showed no support to her client, provided no accountability when she is at fault, did not provide fiduciary duties to her client, unapologetically pushed client into agreeing to things client did not agree to and practically aided the opposing party. She did not use discretion when communicating in public, especially when the opposing party was present and within earshot. Christine was very intimidating to her client and allowed her emotions to take precedence over her professional role and the work she was hired to do. She is not dependable and how she is able to continue law is beyond me. Due to her negligence and threatening, demanding, unprofessional and inconsiderate demeanor towards her own client, I do not recommend Christine J. Cassellius for any law services, especially "Divorce".

Christine Cassellius

Christine and her team did an excellent job representing me. Christine was honest, respectful, and professional. She was an advocate for me during a hard time in my life. Christine was very knowledgeable of the law and court system. Not only did she work hard, but she also knew what issues to fight ...because of her depth of knowledge. I would highly recommend Christine Cassellius in all family law issues.

Wonderful Attorney

Christine promptly reviewed my prenup that was written by my husband's attorney. She respondly promptly since we were on a very tight timeline. It was evident she had my best interests in mind; pointing out things I would never have thought of. I highly recommend hiring Christine.
