About Christelle
Biography
I have been a practicing attorney for over 20 years. Most of my legal career has been focused on family law; however, I started my litigation experience in San Diego as a prosecutor. I also worked as an attorney for the United Nations Mission in Kosovo and taught International Law at the University of Denver. I converted my love of family law and international law into a practice of International Family Law. About 30% of our practice at Frost & Beck, PC, involves an international component; 60% of our practice is domestic family law inclucing child custody and divorce, and 10% of our practice is family law appeals. I have won appeals in the 10th Federal Circuit; Colorado Court of Appeals and California Court of Appeals. As of January 18, 2016, I have never lost an appeal.

Not a well informed lawyer
Christelle was the attorney on my case a couple years ago. She created problem after problem, costing both sides over 100k in attorney fees each! She refused to settle at the multiple mediations we had. She wrote countless emails erroneously detailing the facts of the case. Most of the time, I wo...
