Getting divorced was one of the most unexpected and painful experiences in my life; however, being represented by Milena Christopher made it bearable.
She is a kind, considerate and very ethical attorney. Milena regularly suggested that I take high road even though I didn’t always want to. Milena was readily available to me at all hours of the night and day even when she was on vacation. Her advice was invaluable; she made it clear to me, this was my divorce and she would do whatever I desired.
Milena endured two excruciating, full day mediations with me against a very difficult and disagreeable opposing council with grace.
Her staff is courteous, helpful and accessible. I felt comfortable confiding in them.
I would highly recommend Milena Christopher to guide you through any of life’s complexities.
I have found Milena Christopher to be thorough, highly professional and timely. Whatever she has handled has always been of the best, and I would trust her with any legal work she undertakes. She has handled business law, real estate and wills for us and has also given us valuable advice in a number of other areas.
A tireless worker, she listens well, puts a client at ease, and focuses over 100% on what she is representing for the client. One never has to wonder what move to make. Milena Christopher is logical, sensible, and knowledgeable.
Real Estate: Without her we would not have fared as well in the negotiations. She brought up points we never thought of and which brought out more positive results.
Wills: She understood exactly what we wanted and how to word the documents to make them fit exactly what we wanted.
Business: She wrote out contracts for authors that were well-researched and clear.

Excellent attorney!
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 possible outcome. Mrs. Christopher is very professional but sincerely cares about her clients and is supported by a talented and amazing team (attorney and paralegal). Mrs. Christopher is well-respected by both her peers and judges. We are most grateful for her continued support and recommend her and her team.

Outstanding
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 her staff were just that. Professional, compassionate and very respectful of my feelings through the entire process. I’m extremely glad that I had them in my corner and I cannot imagine anyone else representing me through this arduous process.

It is not as easy as you think...
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 my own best interests. If not for Ms. Chrostopher and her staff's expert legal advice and attention to details I would have been emotionally and financially worse off. No matter how small or easy you think your divorce may be in the beginning, do not underestimate the value of having Ms. Christopher and her team working for you. It was one of the best de isions I ever made.

Regretted Using LegalZoom
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 importantly, Milena was very knowledgeable about the court process and it all went smoothly. Unfortunately, because I had used LegalZoom, I had some trouble with some insurance policies and all the paperwork involved with the testamentary trust, which was due to the language in the Legal Zoom Will not being as specific as it should have been. I regret not having Milena prepare the will in the first place, as I would have had an easier time setting up the trust; at a time like that, the last thing my children and I needed was anxiety about our financial situation. I highly recommend The Law Office of Milena Christopher for estate planning needs.

Great attorney, wonderful to work with
We had a very unpleasant and long standing legal matter and were concerned about the ability for it to once and for all be resolved when we met and hired and Milena. My husband and I both whole heatedly agree few could have managed this so smoothly and so well - Thanks to Milena's calm yet thorough management of our case it is now behind us and actually settled for more than I would have anticipated. She will be our family attorney from now on.

President, New Vista Solutions
I highly recommend Milena, as I have found her to be an exceptionally competent, experienced attorney. She represented me in a case in which many other attorneys would have clashed with a difficult opposing counsel and likely escalated the situation, however Milena maintained a calm determined demeanor that allowed her to negotiate a successful outcome for us even though she had to negotiate final resolution over a weekend!! How many attorneys will do that! We would certainly not hesitate utilize her talents in any future legal matters.

She's wonderful!
Milena Christopher is very knowledgeable, respectful, compassionate, and completely looks out for your best interest! I never expected a family attorney to be a pleasure to work with but she certainly was. Hopefully I won't need anymore domestic relations services but if I do she'll be the one I call. No hesitation! If you're looking for a winner, here she is.

Wills and advice for daughter who was fired for disability.
Dr. Christopher drew up our wills. She was very helpful giving suggestions, but always left decisions to us.
More importantly, when our daughter was hit by a pickup going 45 miles per hour while jogging and was fired for her disability, Dr. Christopher spent hours talking to her getting information in order to advise our daughter as to her options.
Our daughter lives in South Carolina; therefore, Dr. Christopher could not represent her in court so she again spent hours finding a SC lawyer for her.
A client of Christopher Law Firm is more than a client. They become an important person. There is much more than just business taking place. There is genuine caring.

Awesome Atty.
Mrs. Christopher was the best ever! I have had 2 other Attys. I had hired and she got better results than they ever did! I would reccomend her to anyone and everyone! Her prices were lower than the other 2 I had hired too. She has stayed in touch with me throughout and since my messy divorce which is unheard of!
Hats off to her!

Mediation Attorney | May 24
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"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.

Family Attorney | Feb 21
Relationship: Worked together on matter
"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?"
