Our family first engaged Mrs. Christopher almost two years ago to handle a child custody case. It was one of the best decisions we have ever made. Not only did Mrs. Christopher support us every step of the way, but she also recommended incredible experts and appellate attorneys to achieve our best ...

Growing up in a broken home the last thing I ever wanted was to put that burden on my children. When faced with my spouses decision to file for divorce, I was forced to find an attorney. I didn’t want just anyone. This matter involved young children and I wanted the best I could find. Milena and h...

What began as a consultation ended in a smart decision to retain Ms. Christopher's services. At first I thought I would be able to navigate through the divorce from my husband on my own, but soon realized as a full time professional and mother of two I needed someone looking out for my children's and...

Ms. Christopher and her team were very gracious and patient in working with my elderly parents on their Wills. I would use her again in a heartbeat!

My husband and I used LegalZoom to prepare our wills. When my husband passed away suddenly a few months later, I saw Milena's ad in the church bulletin, so decided to contact her for help with handling all the paperwork. Milena and her team were kind and understanding during a difficult time. More i...
"I endorse this lawyer. Milena is a competent and ethical attorney. She diligently represents her client's interests and is professional in her work with other attorneys."
"I highly endorse Ms. Christopher. We had a case opposite each other, and she worked hard to resolve tough issues. Ms. Christopher is a great negotiator who puts her client’s interests first."
"I have worked with Milena both as an amicus attorney for a child in a difficult custody case and as a mediator. She has the knowledge, skills, creativity, diligence, and manner which lead me to recommend her as a family law mediator to opposing counsel over and over again. I can recommend Milena as a family lawyer and a family law mediator without reservation."
"Milena Christopher exhibits characteristics most attorneys hope they might one day achieve. She sets a high bar in the legal community. Milena has the unique quality of empathizing with her clients, advocating for their rights, and guiding them through their legal issues. She is highly ethical, honest, and truly cares about her clients, staff, and co-workers. Milena and I worked together for two years as attorneys at the Office of Attorney for Students (AFS) at Texas State University in San Marcos Texas. I also refer clients to her private practice on a regular basis. For prospective clients, attorneys who need to refer cases to, and potential co-workers, I highly recommend Milena Christopher. Kama Davis"
"Having had the opportunity to serve as opposing counsel to Milena Christopher multiple times, I can say she is a pleasure to work with. She is an expert at representing her client's interests while maintaining the highest level of professionalism with opposing counsel. She also does a very good job managing her cases and making sure things stay moving towards resolution. For all of these reasons her clients greatly benefit from having her as their attorney."
"Ms. Christopher and I worked together on several cases and she has always had a level of commitment to the client and to a resolution of the family law cases that impressed me. She does not unnecessarily prolong litigation; she is dedicated to a resolution that works for the clients within the context of the client's family. She is great at helping clients work toward solutions that work for them; not just cookie-cutter orders."
"Milena is a thoughtful, kind, and conscientious lawyer who really cares about doing the right thing for her clients. She has such a warm personality and is easy to connect with. Highly recommended!"
"Great attorney for a low-drama divorce experience which is sometimes hard for both clients and fellow attorneys to find but always better for the family law outcome. We have worked together as collaborative attorneys which requires that everyone be capable of working and communicating well for the sake of the process. I highly endorse Milena and would look forward to working on opposing sides again."
"Milena Christopher is an excellent attorney and I am happy to endorse her. I worked with Milena Christopher as opposing counsel on a recent case. She was extraordinarily committed to helping the couple reach a resolution that worked for their family and kept respect a factor in the divorce. She did a remarkable job, both in her effectiveness and her effort. In particular her mediation skills were evident in this particular case."
"I have worked with Milena Christopher on the boards of directors of the Hays County Dispute Resolution Center and the Texas Association of Mediators; as a co-mediator of cases and a co-instructor of courses at the Hays County Dispute Resolution Center; and as an attorney representing clients in cases I have mediated. In each context, I have found Milena to be intelligent, analytical, creative, hard-working, patient and kind. She is a "total package" of professionalism and a first-rate colleague. I strongly recommend Milena to anyone who is considering using her services as an attorney or mediator."
"I highly recommend this lawyer. I have worked with Milena on several cases but got to know her better when we served together on the Board of Directors of our local Battered Women's Shelter. Milena has dedicated her life to helping others. She spends countless hours assisting women through the shelter. Milena is smart, honest, and tough. She doesn't go looking for a fight, like some over-aggressive family law attorneys do, but she won't shy away from a fight if it is a fight that needs to be done. I would send my own family members to her...need I say more?"
