Posted by Michelle | April 27, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Support

She restored my hope

When I first walked in to Ms. Woods office I had just left a child support hearing that did not go very well for me, I was disheartened, afraid, upset and had very little hope for any help from anyone, and she was my last stop before heading back to Lubbock. I had completely given up on lawyers and j...udges and saw very little promise of ever there being an improvement in my circumstances. I had very little money and not a promise of making much more than I currently was, I was in the middle of unenforceable custody orders, and up to my eye balls in past due child support. What Ms. Woods did for me was see past the black and white on the paperwork and beyond some of the things being held against me, and beyond my financial ability to repay and dove head first in to my case with bravado and tenacity knowing full well the cards had been stacked against me pretty high. Any other lawyer would have sent me on my way packing as fast as I had walked in her office. What Ms. Woods endured during the course of was stonewall after stonewall from the opposing side as well as very little to work with during the case. Ms Woods endured countless nights of texting me after counseling sessions where I was upset and asked her endless amounts of questions. One night after a particularly horrible session she stayed on the phone with me the whole time I drove from Levelland to Lubbock until I was calmed down and able to feel comfortable with moving forward in the process. I have never been made feel like a "lost cause" or "waste of time" and her staff has also treated me with respect and dignity just as she has from the moment I walked into her office. I am confident Ms. Woods has always acted in mine and my childs best interests and always advised me to conduct myself in a manner that would never be detrimental to my case. I can't say that about the other lawyers I've had in the past for this same situation. Ms. Woods finally HEARD what I was saying and cut through the attorney jargon to finally understand what I had been enduring for the last 8 years. I without a doubt will always be indebted to Ms. Woods for her perseverance and guts to handle my custody modification. I can't be grateful enough for the hard work that has been put into my case. She has restored my opinion in lawyers and brought hope to a case that I thought I had no chance of ever making improvements on.

Only if you want top notch!

Ms. Woods was hands down the best decision I made regarding my case. Anytime I needed something - she was always right there. Even after our case was settled, Ms. Woods continued to eagerly answer all of my questions and concerns. Conflicts resulting in legal representation can become financially tro...ubling at times. Ms. Woods was always understanding of the financial strain. If ever placed in a legal situation again - Ms. Woods will be my first choice.

Grateful!

Hi, my name is Amberly. I have hired Christina on at least two different cases and during these events I was beyond grateful with the service she provided for me. Not only did she help me keep my daughter but she also helped me see things in a whole new prospective. She is very reasonable with her pr...ices and she will work with you. I will for sure most likely re-hire her if I ever need the assistance of an attorney in the future represent my case. Thank you Christina and Jennifer for all the help you guys have done so far. Keep up the good work!

Great Lawyer

Christina is handling my custody case. She was very upfront about how the case could go, and helped me prepare for both outcomes. She keeps me in the loop whenever something happens, and is working hard on all matters. Christina has looked out for me through the entire thing. She didn't charge me an ...arm and a leg like a lot of other attorneys wanted to for my family matter. She plays chess not checkers when it comes to my case and is working as hard as possible to win for me. I do not regret my decision to hire her nor would I change lawyers at any point. She is definitely a wise choice and i would refer her to any of my family or friends in need of an attorney.

Professional and Proactive

I had a minor encounter with law enforcement. Christina took an interest, didn't minimize it and communicated clearly. The only time things went "bad" was when I ignored her advice. She even helped me fix that problem. If I ever need an attorney again, for whatever reason, she is who I'll ca...ll.
