Professional, thorough, and caring!

As an attorney myself, I knew that my brother needed an attorney to get him through his divorce. We found Christine at All American and she was the perfect fit for what he needed - a combination of empathy coupled with the moxie to be tough when he needed her to be. She has seen a lot in her years of... practice but not so much that she has let her compassionate side go. She provided great advice and counsel to my brother and helped him get through the process of his dissolution. Christine explained every step along the way and took the children’s best interests into account in turning a bad situation into one that served my brother’s family. I would recommend her to anyone needing the mixture of professionalism, expertise, and caring to advocate for them.

Fights for whats right

Mrs. James has been my attorney for about two years and she has been a godsend. As a father involved in a child custody case, how it’s difficult in the California justice system for any father and with an uncooperative mother, Christine has given me more than I could have asked for from an attorney. ...Christine has fought for what’s best for myself and my child, continues to fight for me to obtain custody and helped get the child support down. Christine has helped reduce the stress of this case, simplifies the legal talk to help anyone understand it and I would recommend her to anyone who needs help. She is an unbelievable attorney at what she does and to have on your side every step of the way.

Divorce and Child Custody for Mr. Olson

I hired Christine James to help me navigate my divorce and fight for custody of my children. She was a very good teacher at explaining how the divorce process works and had a lot of patience dealing with my ignorance. Christine has a very cool head too, especially when dealing with hostilities that o...ften boil up during contentious custody and divorce battles. I know I would be in a lot worse position if I had not sought out Christine's council. In addition to Christine's expertise, her office staff was always very helpful, understanding, and diligent about providing me with critical information as well as making sure I was providing the correct information to expedite the divorce. I am very satisfied with Christine James's service and my final divorce and custody arrangement.
