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.

Reccommended Lawyer

Christina Woods handled my case with diligence and urgency to put my fears at ease. She was very professional and knowledgable when it came to the interpretation of the law, and was very supportive during mediation and trial. She ensured that the correct motions were filed, and gathered discovery qui...ckly to prepare defense for the case. She answered my questions in a timely manner to ease the burden of what might happen during the trial. I would reccommend her to friends and family, and would use her again for further lawsuits.

Loyalty & Profressionalism

Christina and her staff went above and beyond while handling our case. Very responsive, knowledgable, professional, and coutious. We would definitely not only use Christina's office again; but we would refer her without hesitation.

A+

I had the honor to have Christina Woods as my attorney for a child custody hearing on Dec 2014. Christina and her staff were very professional and kept in contact with me every week. When I met with Christina for the first time, she set up a "my case" profile for me. Christina wanted me to see tha...t her and her staff gave my case 100% everyday. I was able to log in at anytime and see exactly what was being filed with the courts on my behalf. I have over 26 documents that were filed over three months. Christina and her staff kept a great log on all documents, and contacted me when they were drafting the documents. They sent me a draft before anything was filed to see if all information was correct. I also got calls as soon as the document were filed with the courts. Christina and her staff were in constant contact with me via telephone, email, and text. Everytime I called I spoke to Christina, or if she was not available I would leave a message and I would get a call back that day, or the first thing the next morning. Christina and her staff made me feel like I was part of their "Family" with how helpful they were and explaining how the court process works. I highly recommend Christina to anyone who is needing an attorney, she is very honest and professional with her work.

Posted by anonymous | April 18, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

DO NOT USE THIS ATTORNEY

Hired Ms. Woods for enforcement of child visitation. THERE IS NO FREE CONSULTATION AS ADVERTIZED IN GOOGLE SEARCHES. .Same day the other parent filed to Modify Child Custody. I made a down payment and started payments as contract stated. I made a file with ALL documents and gave this 2 them before 1s...t hearing. I never even knew about second hearing until a TEXT the day prior at 3pm FOR 9AM hearing.I was asked for documents that I had given in the file the first time I went there. Ms. Woods NEVER even met with me to discuss the 2nd hearing which ended poorly. I was notified the next day that I never hired/PAID her for the MODIFICATION.....only the ENFORCEMENT. REALLY......? When you hire an attorney......isn't that for the situation. I was NEVER even served for the Modification. The case would have ended differently had Ms. Woods conferred with me prior to the hearing. HOW CAN YOU GO BEFORE A JUDGE.... If you do not know the case. STARTING OVER WITH A NEW LAWYER....go somewhere else...don't waste you time... money... and most importantly YOUR LIFE.
