Christine M Powell

The previous reviews were correct about Christine Powell. Please if she is assigned to your case get her off, unless you can get on her emotions with no evidence. Christine Powell was unfortunately appointed to my case as a best interest attorney. My case involved a narcissistic parent who has been ...out of my children’s lives for the past several years to the point where he has been in jail for non-payment of child support. As our court date was approaching, I called her for our initial meeting and she wanted to meet last minute. After the meeting, Powell promised me that she would do everything in her power to prevent the other parent to receive 50/50 custody. I thought that was a little odd because at that time she did not even speak with the other parent or my children. Powell then met with the other parent the day before the hearing. Powell called me right after her meeting with the other parent and said that the other parent made allegations about me and that she believed those allegations. Powell then proceeded to use profanity against me and spoke to me in an emotional tone. I could not believe all of the allegations Powell was saying about me especially since I have never done anything close to what she had said. For example, Powell said that I have an alcohol problem and I can’t even remember the last time I drank alcohol. Despite all of that, Powell told me that at Court the next morning she would recommend to the Judge that I get every day except some weekends. To my surprise, at Court the next morning, Powell recommended to the judge that I get 50/50 custody, made baseless allegations against me, and recommended that I be tested for alcohol. To make matters worse Powell told the Court that she did not even need to interview my kids because her mind was already made up and the interviews would not change anything. It is devastating because I am the only parent that my children know and all one needs to do with Powell to get her to side with you is to make false allegations about the other parent.

I am the petitioner in my case. Over a year ago my now 3year-old son was abused while in his mother's care. When we broke up she kept my son from me for 2 month's before I was able to get her to court. We finished court and not even a month later his mother lied to the courts to get emergency custody... of our son. I went to the courts with proof that she lied and a witness whom she told that now that she had custody of our son she would never let me see him again. The courts assigned Christine Powell to the case. From my very first phone conversation with Christine she used offensive language told me I was guilty of what my ex said dispite my proof that my ex had committed perjury to get emergency custody of my son. She then told me to email her the information I have. A week later she says she doesn't have the time to read the emails and to mail her the papers. She also not only accused me of stalking my ex she said she believed that I was. I informed her it's impossible for me to stalk anyone without a vehicle. She also told me I wouldn't be getting my son on Halloween even after I told her that our current custody agreement says our Son spends all Holidays with both parents. She replied back with )"That's not how it works"). I replied back with haven't you even read the custody agreement? Her next email was her apology for not checking the agreement. I still didn't even get to to my son trick or treating for a hour. She has been coaching my son's mother. Which is a conflict of interest. She also refuses to give me the babysitter information that his Mom has even though it's not protected information in any way. She lied to the courts about me even though I can prove she is lieing. This woman thinks she canmakr up laws at will. She eeven threated my boss to have me held in contempt of court if he didn't let me have the day off for a mediation that I had already requested to the courts that it be changed because I didn't have anyone to cover my shift. The judge of the case granted my request to reschedule the mediation. This woman has also orderd me to give my son to his Mom before my time is up or else.

She is the best interest lawyer for a minor child in a case I have going on. She is very basis. And she says one thing one minute and then she changes her mind a few days later. She has a good back ground history but she doesn't do her home work and shows up for court right on time and has done any r...esearch on what she is doing. Then when she was told that the case will have to come back in a month she replied she wasn't going to come. That she will call in her review of the case.
