Modification of the Parent/Child Relationship from my Previous Orders

I consulted with 5 different attorneys through out the course of my issue. I sought out Christina due to her support of empathy, personally relating to my current issue and made me feel like a human and took the matter at hand serious. Regarding communication, always responded in a timely manner.... Very supportive (even if I was having a melt down due to rising issues regarding my reasoning for seeking legal guidance) Paid attention to detail and always looked at both sides of the case in support of the best interest of my child. Office staff was very caring and kind! Excited my expectations and helped me get the best out come for my child.

Excellent

A friend recommended Christina to me after I was served papers from my ex suing me for custody of my son. Lost, desperate, hopeless, & afraid, I called Christina for a consultation. She was able to get me in THE FOLLOWING DAY although 2 other attorneys that I contacted could not even meet with me ...before my hearing. Christina patiently sat and listened to my entire story - which detailed 10years of family life and hardships - and was rather unorganized and probably seemed more like rambling than anything. But she found ways to relate to my situation & shared details of her own experiences. She took the time to empathize & listen & then explained my options carefully. i truly feel like Christina CARES about me, my son, my family, & the outcome of my case. There is no doubt in my mind that she will exhaust all legal avenues and pursue any viable options to help me... as if it were her own family. If you want an attorney who will take time for you, who will listen to your every concern, & who will fight for what is fair, she is an excellent choice. She may not be the most inexpensive attorney out there, but you get what you pay for... and when something as important as one's family is on the line, we don't want the cheapest or most inexperienced lawyer representing us. Christina is timely in responding to messages, emails, even texts. And has kept me updated and informed every step of the way. I am confidently recommending Christina for anyone who is facing legal issues in family law.

Extremely Pleased

I hired Christina for my custody case. I've got through this system multiple times & my lawyers had never really advocated for me until Christina. She is an amazing lawyer who will go to any lengths necessary to make sure your case is treated fairly. I highly recommend her to anyone needing an amazin...g attorney!!

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.
