Excellent Attorney

We consulted Ms. Lincoln to update wills,etc. She explained things clearly and we were treated courteously and professionally not only by her but her office staff. I really liked having things emailed that could be taken care of and reviewed in that way. Saved all of us time! Would definitely recomme...nd her.

Posted by Melissa | December 01, 2015 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation

Mrs. Lincoln is the best attorney i have ever known. She knows what she is doing and does an awesome job as an attorney.

She has taken her time to do everything she could for me, and has taken a big weight off my shoulders that i have had for over 20 years. I would refer everyone that i could to her that needs an attorney that knows what she is doing. I'm so thankful that i got a chance to work with her to settle my di...vorce and i will always keep her in mind if i need further assistance in the future. I could not have asked for a better attorney than Mrs. Lincoln.

Excellent and Professional Service

Christine handled the updating of our wills. It was all handled professionally and effieciently. Any questions we had whether by phone or email were answered quickly and to our satisfaction. We would definitely use her services again and I have already recommended her to my friends.

Trustworthy, Honest, Concise, Top value lawyer.

I retained Mrs Lincoln for legal counsel for a divorce in Harris County. I used this website and others to review any client feedback on Mrs Lincoln before contacting her. I can't say enough positive feedback about Mrs Lincoln and her firm. She laid it all out in front of me, listen to my story, let ...me know the realities, overall process, what I can and cannot expect, on time, went above and beyond when things were unclear to me. Very responsive. This is my first need for a lawyer and hopefully the last, but I wouldn't use anyone else. I felt like she cared about the outcome before it happened. Was reliable, honest, and open, all characteristics of a great lawyer.

I value her skills, support, and knowledge. I recommend her without question.

I first engaged Mrs. Lincoln’s services over three years ago and have used her expertise and skills ever since. Chris was recommended to me by a business associate who had used her services for his divorce. Over the last three years Chris has been successful in obtaining for me a protective order, ...a contested divorce, reviewed my wills, and provided general legal advice. I have always found her to be highly responsive, accessible, and knowledgeable. I have found Chris to be very competitive on her rates and her total billing to be in line with her up front estimates. She even refunded her retainer once when I decided not to proceed with a particular action. I trust and value Chris’ advice and will continue to utilize her services.

"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."

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
