A true fighter!

I hired Christine to help advise me and advocate for me during the student conduct process. As a few may know, this system can be very isolating and scary. Not only did she guide and advise me, but she also tirelessly fought for me. She believed in me even when I stopped believing in myself. In the e...nd, she ensured that I received the fair treatment anyone should be given under due process. The entire time, she was the consummate professional, and she was absolutely kind and understanding through out the process. I cannot speak more highly of Christine, and I recommend her to anyone who needs a fighter in their corner.

Avvo Rating

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.
