The best!
I was looking for a licensing lawyer and went through several websites. I have chosen to hire Christine and it was an excellent choice.
She is very professional (no BS), did not promised the miracles and, very important for me, she is a compassionate woman.
Thank you Christine, it was a pleasure to work with you.

Mortgage License question!
Christine was a true expert in the information I needed and even though she was not in my area and not able to represent me she provided me with all the knowledge I needed to move forward and likely achieve what I need too. Thanks very Much Christine.

A meticulous attorney who donates her time time to help people.
I had informally consulted Christine on some work-related matters. She has uncanny ability to grasp
even the most complex situation and give you solutions in no time. She is five steps ahead of the opposing party/attorney, not one. She donates her time to answer questions on avvo.com. Take my case Christine!

So strong profession expertise, So strong customer care
This is my first ever experience with an attorney. When you don't have experience in an area, you tend to be cautious. However, just by one phone call conversation and one email communication, I am absolutely certain that Ms McCall is the one I could fully trust, is one of the best in terms of both professional expertise and customer case/emotional support. Thank you Ms. McCall for your sincerely helping people at the best you could (even not your client)!

Awesome!
As many professional service businesses do nowadays, majority of new clients for our hair salon comes to us based on positive Yelp reviews. One day, a negative Yelp review was posted and we started to panic. The review was nothing about our services or her experience at the salon. It was a personal attack on the owner.
We have previously tried to remove wrong reviews (people leaving reviews for wrong business) through Yelp but we couldn't get anywhere. Therefore, when this review came online, we knew we probably wouldn't get anywhere contacting Yelp. After going through some posts on Avvo, we contacted attorney Christine C McCall through the website based on some feedback she gave to other posts. Her answers to other posts were positive, personal, and confident.
Within a few hours, she reached out to me via email and she was very responsive to my numerous emails and all her replies were detailed but straight to the point. Amazingly, a few hours after our initial contact with her, review was removed.
Thank you Ms. McCall!

Thank you for your comments about my efforts in this matter. This was a wholly improper review that should not have been allowed by Yelp in the first place, and I am happy to have had an opportunity to participate in righting this situation for such a worthy and well-regarded business. Best to you always.

The Best
Christine recently assisted me in resolving a very delicate matter with a highly competitive training program. I honestly could not have asked for more.
Christine went above and beyond to help me resolve this matter successfully. She is tremendously experienced and I benefited greatly from her expertise and strategic direction. She is responsive, direct, and to the point. She looks to resolve matters efficiently and decisively. She takes no chances with her clients' cases, realizing how much is on the line. She truly cares about her clients and I always sensed that I was in good hands with her on my side, although she was very realistic about the challenges at hand from the start. It is rare to meet a professional with such expertise, passion, and empathy. Christine is a superstar and I will be forever grateful for her assistance.

Christine McCall: Best Defense for your Professional License
If you reading this review, chances are, you or someone you care about is facing disciplinary action against their professional license and needs the best possible representation. This was my situation four months ago. I felt desperate and scared after being arrested for a misdemeanor. I systematically interviewed all the top attorneys in town. I spoke with a dozen administrative law attorneys, keeping careful notes of their recommendations, fees and attitudes. Ms. McCall’s amazing reviews are hard to miss. She provided me with a complimentary hour-long consultation, and just as it is written: she is responsive, professional, and intelligent. She listened carefully to me and paid close attention to my concerns. I am a nurse and I was mortified to find out that the conviction I was facing could possibly ruin my career. I immediately trusted in Christine McCall and her intelligence, impeccable reputation in the administrative law community, and because of her caring no-nonsense attitude. She laid out the events before me, uncannily predicting the licensing boards every move with the accuracy of a legal oracle. Her fees are very reasonable considering that her approach to license law defense actually saved me a large sum of money over the other lawyers, who only wanted to sell me a one-size-fits-none package. I made the right choice with Christine by my side. Two things on which to never economize: your surgeon and your licensing board defense attorney. You may live to regret either. Make no mistake, licensing board will blindly seek to suspend or revoke your professional license. You are just a target for their bloated bureaucratic process. You will suffer the harshest penalties allowed by law should you have incompetent under-representation. Ms. McCall’s response to my emails were nearly instantaneous. She kept me informed at every stage and answered my questions thoroughly - even while traveling overseas. Who provides that type of service these days? Most importantly, my case was favorable resolved and everything I have worked so hard to attain has been preserved. My prayers were answered; I thank my Lord Jesus for his mercy. I highly recommend Christine McCall and her License Advocates Law Group!

Very helpful
Christine McCall is of the rare kind. Wow I wished I needed her because I would request her services and represent me. However, she was honest and very informative. I did not require her services but her answers were very helpful. It's ashame there aren't more attorneys like her.
I want to write more about how helpful she is but this review will almost sound fake so I'll keep it short and to the point. She is awesome :-)

Great Attorney and Very Compassionate, We Need More Like Her!
A few months ago, I posted an inquiry on this site for legal help on sensitive legal issues I have been facing. I went to other attorneys in person where I got little or no help and really got no way with the legal consultation, other than "Good luck with that!" Well, Attorney McCall, even though she is not in my jurisdiction, responded very professionally and accurately to a general issue posted. It takes skill to analyze and provide a client with an accurate picture and objective view of the legal situation. Other attorneys' responses were not as compassionate as Attorney McCall's response. Compassion is needed in the legal profession if you are a private attorney, especially since there are many clients whose lives are affected in many ways by others and the only relief is legal relief. Compassion is one of the values I believe in and Attorney McCall has it. This is not to say she cannot be an aggressive and tough attorney for her clients. The beauty of her skills is that she is a compassionate attorney with a very big roar or bite. Unlike some attorneys who bark may be bigger than their bite, her bark and bite are big. I fight for justice and I can tell she does too. Attorneys with integrity are difficult to find. When you find one, keep the attorney. Get Attorney McCall for your legal needs, if she can help you, and keep her.

Her letter will have anyone shaking in there boots!
As a San Diego plumbing contractor nothing beats your reputation. It can mean the difference between life and death of a business. Christine helped insure my reputation within my community by writing one of those letters to a major internet site for reviews of business services. A bad review that had defamation all over it was posted for the world to see! I cringed everytime I logged on to the site. Christine didn't accept no the first time when they refused to get involved and remove the post so she kicked it up a knotch. Christine definately has major talents because the post was removed today!!
Thank you for the steller performance!!

Perfection!!!!
I came across Ms. McCall as I was researching certain legal circumstances and how they may impact the review and approval of my California CPA Licensure Application. Of all the attorney posts on this and other sites, I continuously came across posts from Ms. McCall and each and every one of her posts were authoritative, concise, direct, well-developed, thorough, non-threatening, honest, and sincere.
My issues were complicated and troublesome (for me). I sent a couple of emails to Ms. McCall. I was not expecting such timely responsiveness. She was extremely responsive and she immediately recognized my issues and concerns and put me at ease, while providing a pathway for dealing with the issues during our initial consultation. During our consultation, it was abundantly clear that Ms. McCall, and her partner, had reviewed all of the information that I had provided in advance and was perfectly prepared for our meeting. She identified the key issues that needed to be dealt with, while putting to rest issues and concerns that were irrelevant to my case. The manner in which she conducted the meeting, including handling of sensitive issues, gave me immediate ease and confidence. She was patient and thorough, leaving no question, issue, or concern left unresolved. Ms. McCall is an extraordinary professional and human being. Most of us have a fear of attorneys, and/or a fear of dealing with the issues that require an attorney, I assure you that there is NO REASON to fear Ms. McCall. You should RUN as quickly as you can to her because she is AMAZING, Knowledgeable, and will give you tremendously useful direction and guidance. You can easily see her credentials here and other sources, but what isnt nearly as obvious in print, is the superb handling and attention that you will receive from Ms. McCall as she sinks her teeth into whatever your situation is. You will never feel rushed, nor will you feel that the service is incomplete. I will recommend Ms. Mcall and her colleagues to anyone in need, and I, myself, will certainly be a long time client of Ms. Mcall.
