Christine is phenomenal! I spoke to other lawyers regarding my bankruptcy before settling with Christine. She's honest, straight forward, extremely knowledgeable and also very affordable. I couldn't have asked for a better lawyer to get me through my BK so smoothly. Very very highly recommended.
Christine rescued me from a disaster. I filed my own Chapter 13 but completely messed everything up. But I was given Christine's information from a law clerk at the Cook County Circuit Court. Christine saw me immediately and reviewed my case. Within minutes of hiring her my case turned around and she got me on track. Christine is always available and extremely helpful. I have referred her to others in need. I felt she was a angel in disguise. I highly recommend Christine. If your looking for a lawyer who can fight for you then look no further Christine is your lawyer.
We are currently offering remote services. I strive to provide the most personalized and hands-on approach to serving my clients. I am committed to explaining the process so that you understand exactly how bankruptcy works and are prepared for every step, so that there are no surprises.
I am compassionate and understanding, and will never make you feel judged. This is already a stressful time in your life, and I am here to take that burden off of you.
With that said, I will be aggressive in my representation of you. I personally handle every detail of your case and will tirelessly fight for you to ensure your financial success. I take pride in the relief my clients feel when they leave my office, that shows me I have done my job.

Top Notch Lawyer
Earlier this year I had to file bankruptcy and it's a very vulnerable time. She was very kind, understanding, and informative. She made me feel at ease and normalized the process. She's a great lawyer with personalized care. Whenever I had a question she was just a phone call or email away and would respond promptly. I never felt like a number, I felt valued. Anyone that needs this type of lawyer I recommend Thurston Law Firm. You won't regret it and will be treated with dignity and respect.

Chapter 7
Christine Thurston is an Amazing lawyer, she knows what she is doing. Before I went to her with my case I tried other agencies like debt stoppers and private lawyers. They did not seem to care for what's best for me except for pushing me to settle for chapter 13 so I can pay them $4500 when I qualified for chapter 7 and that is what I asked for as client. I did not settle with them in fact one of the gentlemen was very pushy to signing papers right away so I can pay them money that I dont have. My Fiance found Christine Thurston on Google with great reviews. I reached out and I didnt have to wait I spoke to her directly and meet up with her in her Schaumburg office in no time to help. I was so stressed out and lost lots of sleep over the financial struggle I was going through. I asked Christine why she loves her job? And her answer was to give hope back to someone like me and do whatever it takes to look into every case to make sure she doesnt miss anything and everything is accurate. She is very knowledgeable, she took my case and I was priority just like every case she takes. She was real and 100% truthful on what to expect. I appreciate her for her passion and love her for her career choice and I knew she truly loves her job and helping others. It was a good feeling to know that I was not getting so many debt collectors calls and Bills after bills. My case was settled in no time and I was free and have a new start. I recommended my friend because of how amazing the service is that Christine provided me. Why should you chose Christine to present you? because she is the best, trust me when I say your case is important wheather you chose chapter 7, 13 or stop garnishment and exce... Christine I can't thank you enough and I am grateful for the second chance I have because of you.

Excellent Lawyer
Attorney Christine Thurston is absolutely the best lawyer! I would highly recommend her to anyone in need of her law services.
Everything indicated in her law firm’s website on why she stands out is true:
1. “Exceptional Representation”
Christine is a true expert in bankruptcy – she is very knowledgeable, professional, ethical, clear, and honest. I dealt directly with her, and her sense of personal touch made a big difference. She went above and beyond my expectations.
2. “24/7 Assistance”
Christine is very helpful and responsive.
Each time I texted her or sent her an email, she consistently promptly answered all of my questions clearly. She has also made herself available for a phone call. It means a lot to have good communication.
3. “Stress-Free”
Going through a financial hardship is a very stressful time but Christine has helped me tremendously in making this difficult time easier to manage. She has compassion - she has strived to make this very challenging time less painful. She never made me feel judged.
She has provided detailed direction throughout the bankruptcy process, making it a painless experience from start to finish.
From day one, I already felt comfortable with her. She is very patient in providing clear direction and advice.

I contacted a few law offices before selecting Thurston Law. I chose Christine because of the way I was treated from the outset. Christine stood out far and above the rest. The choice to file bankruptcy can be quite humbling, and stressful; especially when dealing with medical issues simultaneously. Christine was very kind, understanding and took genuine care and consideration for my circumstances. Her clear knowledge of bankruptcies laws left no doubt in my mind I was in exceptional hands. Her availability and dedication to her clients is extraordinary. I am very grateful for an excellent job, and the humility extended to me during a very difficult economic hardship in my life.

Outstanding Service for my Chapter 7 Case
I can't say anything negative about Christine A. Thurston. I contacted her to handle my BK case as I found her online and she delivered excellent service. Her hours are flexible, she is reasonably priced, communicates great, very detailed in how things will be handled and delivered services as such. I already referred a friend to her and she is happy with her services as well. She will definitely receive more referrals from me and I wish her all the best in her career. Thank you for great service.

Christine Thurston was an excellent lawyer. I found her on thumbtack.com. She made the process very easy and always answered any question I had very quickly. There were no hidden fees either! The amount she said is the amount I paid.

Great Lawyer!!
When I was in debt I didn’t know what to do because I had such a high debt. I was searching up lawyers that can help me with this case but I didn’t know who would be a good lawyer. Then Christine message me and told me about her law firm and how she helped many people with bankruptcy and I immediately look her up and I saw great reviews so I contacted her. She made me so at ease going through bankruptcy. She would answer all my questions even though some would be repetitive but she didn’t care about that because she knew that going through bankruptcy is hard. I seriously recommend her to anyone that is going through a tough time finding a lawyer for bankruptcy. Without her I probably would be stuck thinking about what I should do with all this debt.
Thank you Christine!!

Great attorney!
Great attorney, I would recommend her services to anyone who is considering filing for bankruptcy. She was available at all hours and very helpful throughout the entire process, from the first visit when I came just to get consulted and didn’t have a clue about the process through the very end of the case. I felt very at ease and confident I was doing the right thing after consulting with her.
Glad I had hired her!

I urgently needed to file a Chapter 7. I had imagined a process that would be slow and painstaking, but that was not the case. Christine took me through the process seemlessly. You cannot go wrong if you make the choice to hire her as your attorney. She is professional, clear, friendly and knowledgeable.

"I’ve known Christine for 15 years. She is an amazing Attorney. She is smart, attentive and aggressive. Many attorneys have only 1 or 2 of these qualities. She will listen to her clients concerns, address each and every one of them and explain things in a way that they will understand. In the next breath, she will be handling an aggressive creditor. Best of all, she knows her way around a courtroom. I highly recommend Christine."
