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.

Parking Lot Incident
A grocery store cart slammed into my car due to high winds and the grocery store tried to deny liability (saying it's an "at risk" parking lot!) Their employee was running after the cart but couldn't catch it, causing considerable damage to my vehicle. They kept denying liability for the incident an...
