5 Stars Isn't Enough

“I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney to guide me through my divorce. From day one, Christine was compassionate, responsive, and absolutely committed to protecting my best interests. She explained every step clearly, fought for me when it mattered most, and made an incredibly stressful process... feel manageable. Christine's professionalism and expertise truly set her apart. I’m beyond grateful for her hard work and highly recommend them to anyone needing a strong, trustworthy advocate.”

Knowledgeable, Supportive and Truly Dedicated

I couldn’t have asked for a better attorney during my divorce. From the very beginning, she was compassionate, patient, and truly listened to what I needed. She guided me through every step of the process, explained everything clearly, and always made sure I felt informed and supported. What I app...reciated most was her professionalism and calm, steady approach—especially during the most stressful moments. She advocated for me in a way that was both firm and fair. I’m incredibly grateful for everything she did for me and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and caring divorce attorney.

Highly responsive and moves things along quickly.

Christine was very helpful and efficient in guiding me through the divorce process in late 2024 through early 2025. She provided great counsel from experience and had an arsenal of contacts for assisting with certain particulars throughout the process when needed. Her fees were reasonable and her b...illing was methodically thorough as well as made transparent. What I most notably appreciated about Christine was her high degree of responsiveness and speed at which she moved things along on our end. Any delays experienced were caused by the other party and not by Christine herself. As with any legal situation, i feel it is the client’s responsibility to review any drafted documents with a fine-toothed comb to make corrections, ask clarifying questions, and take ownership/responsibility to drive desired outcomes. Every situation is unique and takes strong partnership with your attorney to get the best possible outcome, which largely depends on the client’s level of effort and thoroughness. The process itself was not short on frustrations and challenges, but Christine was patient and consistent with me in finding or suggesting possible resolution alternatives. In the end, I was satisfied with the outcomes and terms of the divorce thanks to Christine’s hard work and persistence. I know more about the divorce process now than I ever cared to know, and I felt like I had an ally in Christine at every step as she was guiding me through it.

The best lawyer you will find

Ms. Lincoln is superb. A divorce is never easy, and it gets infinitely more complicated when the reason for the divorce is your spouse suffers from an incapacitating mental illness and refuses treatment. I told Ms. Lincoln that it was my intention to keep things cordial and fair. This is easier sai...d than done when the other party cannot keep it together and behaves erratically. I am very grateful for Ms. Lincoln’s skills at moving things along while still keeping things friendly. It is a pleasure to work with an attorney who is thorough, always available, never in a hurry and can see humor even in tough situations. She was willing to go the extra mile and take on tasks that the opposing counsel should have completed. I was impressed with Ms. Lincoln’s way of organizing things, simplifying the process and responding promptly to emails. Many times, it looked like we had reached an insurmountable obstacle, but she was always able to find a way around it. In every profession, you will find those who can get the job done competently when things are straightforward and easy, but the truly valuable professional is the one who can manage the complex and challenging situations - Ms. Lincoln most certainly can.

In particular, she was able to navigate around a difficult client and her difficult spouse, finding solutions that maximized the available benefits to the client. Her fees were reasonable; bills arrived promptly and included detailed diary entries. She returned the remainder of the retainer within days of the final decree.
