Great Work! Lucky to have her on our team!

We are repeat customers. Christine helped me with a real estate closing on my investment property and a will. She was very patient with me and my several questions about wills and trusts. She drafted me a detailed will for a fair price. On our real estate transaction, I was worried that the deal was ...done when a large electrical problem was found. She managed to quickly negotiate with the buyers and keep the transaction moving along. She will always be my first call for any legal work!

DO NOT HIRE

I spoke to Christine and she said that she would represent me for $500 and to email her my paperwork which I did the same day. I then emailed her several times and called her for a month and she has not responded to this day. I hope she didn't die or get seriously hurt but if she is still in business..., she is not a responsive lawyer and should be avoided. In the very least tell me that you are no longer interested and don't just ignore me after saying you would represent me in the civil matter.

Ethical rules do not permit me to respond to the specifics of your matter, even though we never had an attorney client relationship. I never took any money from you and I never sent you an engagement letter. After briefly looking into your matter at no cost to you, I realized that I could not help you. I did not take your money because I could not represent you. I am sorry that my honest and ethical behavior upset you. I would be happy to speak to you further at any time.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
