About Christine
Biography
Licensed in Illinois since, 1991, I believe in providing personalized and responsive services to all of my clients. Without minimizing your concerns, I will provide you with all available options for resolving your problem and will tailor an approach that fits within your budget and expectations. An experienced litigator, I am not afraid to utlize the court system to resolve any issue, but am also able to negotiate and enact agreements for resolving issues outside of the court when possible.
Your calls will be returned; your emails will be answered, and your questions and concerns will be addressed.
I am available for all probate cases, including estate and trust administration, guardianships of minors and disabled adults, contested estate and trust issues, elder law matters, and affordable estate planning.
