Best Possible Choice for Me

After consulting with many other lawyers in the North Houston, Spring, and Woodlands area. I came to Chris's profile on Avvo with very little expectation based on my previous experience meeting with other lawyers. As well as, a healthy level of skepticism for online reviews. I was quickly surprised w...ith her no nonsense attitude, approach to my case, knowledge of my rights, and background in very similar cases. As a father seeking sole conservartorship of my son, and dealing with a severe alcoholic with mental issues spouse. I needed someone that could be discrete and help me fight for my son. She met every request with detailed precision, and guided me through this turbulent time. From the very first day we met, and prior to signing our agreement. Chris had informed me of exactly what to expect, and exactly what would be the points of contention. Literally 10 different items came up as a point of contention, and she nailed every one of them exactly on day one. I remember coming into her office or talking to her on the phone saying; "Well... You were right again.." She would respond by saying: "Well... You know.. This is how we are going to handle this.." In those situations she made superb recommendations that led me to my end goal. The well-being of my son, and his best interest. Between Chris and Darby (who works in the office), I stayed up-to-date on every situation, and conversation that occurred. They ensured I was a part of every step and decision that needed to take place. They were very conscious of funds available, and I never felt like I, or my situation, was being taken advantage of throughout the course of things. Please keep in mind that divorce is not cheap, and it doesn't happen over night. Further, it is stressful, and you will be faced with hard decisions. Texas law is very specific in these matters, so be prepared to give fair offers when the time comes around. With all of this in mind, Chris & Darby helped me get through this with a price tag and division of property I was comfortable with, and a timeline that far exceeded my expectations. Most importantly my son, with a phased visitation schedule that allowed me to feel more comfortable with him in her possession. If you are a father that is unsure of your rights, or if you feel like the law is against you. Please take it from me that you will be pleasantly surprised with what you learn from Chris's knowledge and experience in these matters. I personally cannot say enough positive things about my experience at Lincoln law firm. I am very happy I found them.

Divorce Case

Chris was my Councel through my divorce case. She is very knowledgeable, considerate, ethical, and thorough. She responded quickly to my inquiries, and reviewed every aspect with me before taking any further actions. She was well prepared for our meetings and mediation. Great sense of humor! A shout... out to Darby, the paralegal. Thank you for everything!

The best I could hope for

This was just an awesome experience! I came into my divorce ready but scared as hell because I had no clue what I should do or how to go about it. I go into a consultation with Chris and leave feeling empowered and ready. She explained everything exactly what was going to happen step by step and what... I could do to expedite the process. The follow up was amazing, If I was waiting I knew exactly why, If I needed to take specific action I had clear deadlines and instructions. From beginning to end this was a great experience, not that I would ever want to divorce again, but her level of service, integrity, and excellence went far beyond my expectations.

Estate planning

We contacted Christine Lincoln's office because of her positive reviews on Estate planning. Her office was very accommodating to meet with us at a time that would fit our schedule and Ms. Lincoln was very helpful in explaining the documents that would be needed in the event that one of us became ill... or passed away. Her guidance was very helpful since this brought up questions that we had not considered previously.

Great divorce attorney!

I hired Ms. Lincoln to handle my divorce. I first met with her for a consultation. She was able to answer all my questions and made me feel very at ease and comfortable. She was very thorough in asking me many questions and also in telling me the process and what to expect. She and her assistant resp...onded to inquiries very promptly. In the end, I received a refund from the amount of retainer that was unused. I would highly recommend Chris Lincoln and this law office!

"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."
