Amazing!! I just referred my friend to her

Cristina was probably one of the best people that could ever happen to me I had multiple convictions preventing me from getting work I have been to jail for five times and finally after calling and being referred to her through an expungement attorney I found myself in amazing hands of somebody who u...nderstands how to fight and when to fight. She expunged to leave my connections Driving on a suspended license as well as many other things that are associated with this situation.

Unlawful Termination

I was recommended by a family member to contact Ms. Irvin. From the the start she was very analytical, asking me questions, making sure she understood the whole story before moving forward. She was a very strategic, making sure that she had all the polices and dates, times, events that happen to make... sure that when she sent in a letter to the other party's legal team, she knew what they did was wrong. She followed up with the legal team, making sure they would respond, and when they didn't, she went higher up the administration latter to make sure the CEO and other members were aware of the situation. During the time of negotiations, she was very good at making sure I get what I want. She was contacting my other job that I had lined up to make sure my spot was still there while dealing with this matter. She encouraged me throughout this process and was very personable. I am so happy with her as she was fighting for me that I am seeking to retain her as my lawyer! She was amazing throughout the whole time and did not doubt her for one second.

Tenacious

When I met Ms. Irvin and started speaking with her about my case before my hearing, I was pleasantly surprised. I immediately knew that she actually studied and read all the letters and documents pertaining to my case. In my experience most attorneys don’t. I must tell you that my felony was dismisse...d prior. I was meeting with Ms Irvin to reduce to a misdemeanor. When we stood in front of the judge the judge said “ how am I supposed to reduce a felony to a misdemeanor if it has already been dismissed?” Ms Irvin recited some case law explaining to the judge that it is lawful to do so. The judge was unsure and said she would recess. Luckily the judge went to chambers and read all my letters and found the case law that Ms Irvin had mentioned. The Judge thanked Ms Irvin for teaching her something new. In turn the Judge ruled in my favor against the DA recommendation. Don’t lay Ms Irvin good looks and young age fool you. She knows what she is doing and prepares herself to battle against the worst case scenario.

I would like to give Ms. Irvin a glowing recommendation on what a thoroughly assertive and smart attorney she is. I was involved in a case recently where I had previously been denied an early termination of probation request. And I had to wait for reconsideration for several months. The DA and the... judge seemed dead set against me prevailing the second time around too. But this time I had Ms. Irvin as my attorney and she vigilantly consulted with the DA on my behalf and talked up for me and we prevailed in getting my request granted! I left the court elated and feeling extremely blessed that I had Ms. Irvin this time around to fight on my behalf! She gets the highest ratings in my book. Sincerely, L.S.

Catina Irvin

I highly recommend Catina, I am a transactional entertainment attorney and do not handle litigation matters. Recently I had a client with a breach of contract/copyright issue where the other party filed a statement of claim in the matter. I consulted with Catina on that case and she offered top-rate... advice. I found her to be diligent and insightful and she made certain that the litigation process/strategy protected the interests of the client and preserved his options during the settlement process so that the case was properly negotiated and dismissed on the record.
