Outstanding

Speaking from the perspective of having used 4 attorneys in my life, Christina is the most professional, straight forward, no nonsense attorney I have ever encountered. She never mislead me and made sure I understood every bridge we were crossing. She is responsive and timely. She is tough and fair. ...I HIGHLY recommend her. I consider her to be a blessing in mine and my son's life. I had a very difficult situation that required her attention for several different matters over a period of at least 3.5 years and she never once waivered in her dedication to my family and I.

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.

Definitely Recommend

The moment we met with Christina at our free consultation we knew she was the attorney for us. She listened to all of our concerns and was up front and honest about everything. From the moment we hired her she made herself available anytime of the day to answer any and all questions and concerns. She... always answered us back right away. And Jennifer, her paralegal, is just as amazing! She, too, made herself available just the same. We knew every detail about our case, dates, & times and were properly notified in a timely manner about everything. We have and will continue to recommend her to everyone. She is definitely our go to lawyer!

Christina-2 Them-0

I've been involved with Ms. Woods for legal representation on two separate occasions and both times she protected the interests of her client. I was involved in a divorce proceeding and Ms. Woods represented my spouse, while I used an attorney who seemed competent enough and had been recommended to... me. I only spoke to my attorney a few times on the phone and only saw him for the first time right before the hearing. We met prior to seeing the judge and Ms. Woods devastated my attorney. I left the courthouse with barely the shirt on my back. When my wife and I later reconciled, I learned just how effective Christina had been in her defense. More recently, my wife and I were involved in another legal issue and there was no doubt that we would hire Ms. Woods to represent us. The matter was resolved in our favor and again demonstrated her strong commitment to our situation. The next time we need an attorney, our first call will be to Christina Woods.

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.
