Bad situation -Great Experience

Every part of dealing with Chris was a positive experience. She is has solid integrity, is a great lawyer and has a get it done attitude. She has a great attention to detail but is also very responsive. She looks at ways to speed up the process and reduce expenses, and I am sure she was cons...ervative in the hours billed. The other side's attorneys were not responsive and not organized. Chris made up for it, did way more than our share so we could get the divorce finalized by the end of the year. I am convinced that if I did not choose Chris that we would still be dealing with this divorce 5 months later. Chris also has great communication skills. She was a leader in the collaborative meetings and a voice of calm, humor and reason (which I needed) in our many one on one chats. I honestly can only think of positive experiences in regards to working with Chris. I am cheap, but I never felt bad when writing a check for the professional services I received. I am sure no divorce is easy. A tough time for all involved. I luckily chose Chris as my attorney in a collaborative divorce and have never regretted the choice I made..

Excellent Attorney

I assumed, wrongly, this proceeding would go rather smoothly as there were no children to contend with. My now ex wanted the 50% of the house and 50% of the IRA. I owned the house outright before the marriage, and one of the IRA's I earned prior to marriage so not community property. Chris provided t...he other attorney with case law, and figures from the house and IRA's to prove our point. There was still money to be distributed, but not to the extent the other party requested. Chris has done this before and knows how to put together spreadsheets to demonstrate her point of few. She is easy to talk to, accessible. The entire process works better if the client provides requested information on a timely basis. It keeps everything moving.

A great listener

My barber recommended her when my wife and I were looking to have our wills redone. Christine took us through a thorough interview process that covered a lot things we had not thought about. Along with our wills, she provided both of us with a Power of Attorney, a Medical Power of Attorney, and a M...edical Directive. A few years later we hired Christine to represent our daughter when she needed to get out of a bad marriage. Again her advice was invaluable. This week we called her to give us counsel on what a close friend could do to get out of a bad (but not violent) live in relationship with a man who just got arrested for his 6th DWI. We ran our ideas past her and she told us that our plan would leave ourselves open to potential lawsuits. She then went over some things that we could do to help our friend. At the end of the session we walked away with a plan that accomplished our friend's goal that was simple, but effective. I would recommend Christine Lincoln to anyone needing advice or representation involving family law.

Exceptional Attorney

I interviewed two other attorneys before hiring Chris Lincoln to represent me in a divorce. I definitely made the right choice. Chris' professionalism, honesty and incredible work ethic became evident very quickly. She is a great communicator and always promptly responded to my questions. I never fel...t unaware of what was happening during the process. She handled a very difficult spouse and opposing attorney with class. It was clear she held my best interest as a priority when dealing with them. She is patient and would not succumb to their antics. I am very grateful for the care she showed me throughout the entire process. I would highly recommend Chris to anyone seeking an attorney.

Excellent Attorney

While going through a divorce can be very hard and emotional, Chris made the whole experience as easy as possible. At no time did she judge me for the reasons behind the divorce and was a pleasure to work with under the circumstances. She was fair, up front, honest and represented me without hesita...tion throughout the entire process, nor did not try to nickel & dime me what so ever. I was very pleased with the final outcome and would give Chris high recommendations for anyone needing a divorce attorney.

"I endorse this lawyer. Chris recently concluded a difficult divorce for a family member. She and her staff were competent and professional throughout. 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. This was a pleasant experience in the context of an unpleasant situation."
