The mediation process can help you resolve disputes without going to court. In a mediation proceeding, a neutral third party meets with you and the person you disagree with. Mediators are trained to find mediation solutions in legal disputes, including divorce mediation and business disagreement mediation. The mediator acts as a facilitator, helping you negotiate until a solution is found. Mediation is the most informal process for dispute resolution..

Thomas Carnes, Mediation Attorney on May 24, 2017
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.
Judith Davis, Family Attorney on Apr 13, 2016
Relationship: Co-worker
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.

Matthew Hill, Family Attorney on Apr 5, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
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.
Karen Langsley, Family Attorney on Mar 16, 2016
Relationship: Worked together on matter
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.
Michelle Cheng, Unknown Attorney on Mar 15, 2016
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
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!
Rose Cardona, Family Attorney on Sep 29, 2015
Relationship: Worked together on matter
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.
Patricia Brown, Family Attorney on Apr 28, 2014
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
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.
Walter Wright, Family Attorney on Mar 30, 2013
Relationship: Worked together on matter
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.
Kevin Madison, Family Attorney on Feb 21, 2012
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?
