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.

Great family law attorney

Thank you Chris for helping my daughter through a most difficult time. We greatly appreciate your explaining the process throughout and working with specific issues to my daughter's case.

A great lawyer to help you through the pain of Divorce

I met with Mrs. Lincoln and she consulted with me about my divorce. She was a wealth of information that I did not know or understand and she explained it to me fully. I hired her to represent me in this divorce and she did an outstanding job that was fair to both me and my future ex-wife. She was so... good that she helped my ex-wife by answering questions for her after her lawyer would not return calls or e-mails. My ex-wife is the one who suggested I contact Mrs. Lincoln and made the comment that she wished she had hired her instead. I would highly recommend her if you find yourself in the situation where you need a great divorce lawyer.

"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.
