Happy with my results

I needed help with a domestic violence restraining order/custody battle. Ms. James and her office was there to help me in a emergency matter, her office was the only office to help me that same day..which I will never forget. Everytime I called someone was there to answer my questions. Iam grateful a...nd happy with my results. So glad it’s all over now and I can move on.

Best decision I have ever made!!!

I just want to start off thanking Christine and the rest of the staff at All America Law. I was looking for a lawyer in the beginning of January due to a custody battle over my son. The first lawyer told me that this would be a tough case and to maybe not even move out of state, that was unrealistic ...due to my new opportunities out of state. However, I kept looking and found Christine, on our consultation call I immediately felt her good energy and knew she was the right attorney for this case. Even though my case was last minute, Christine and her staff made it work by putting all hands aboard on this case. I cannot thank Christine, Katrina and the rest of the staff enough, they answered all my phone calls, kept me updated with what they were doing on my case, and made me feel secure with my case. All American Law cares more than just 'winning' a case but more so doing what is RIGHT. Christine was on my side and did more than I could ever imagine during trial. I was told by many people that it would be hard for a father to get an out of state move away order, but Christine made that happen and now I have physical custody of my child. We are now living out of state and happier than ever. I would highly recommend this law firm to any one that is going through a custody battle.

Amazing lawyer

Christine is an amazing lawyer I am going through a very stressful case any worries or concerns she has helped guided me through them . Katerina is my assigned paralegal any questions which is a lot regarding my case she is quick to respond to them. I couldn’t be more happy with this team defending ...me. They are so honest and very trusting .

Thank you!

I am so grateful for All American Law, I previously worked with another law firm and the difference is night and day. Ms. James and her team respond in a timely manner and are amazing at explaining complicated situations. I've learned that when working with attorneys that you are mostly dealing with ...paralegals and it's so important that they know what they're doing too. Katrina has been absolutely amazing in keeping me updated on my case and keeping me reassured in stressful situations. If you are coming out of a marriage with DV, I especially recommend All American Law, they truly make you feel heard.

Professional, Caring and Knowledgeable

Ms. James has been working with my case for approximately 3 years now and has produced exceptional results that have helped my ongoing , chaotic family law case. She has relieved a tremendous amount of stress and has provided the assurance I have needed to get through this. Alongside, Ms. James has a... wonderful, professional and assertive staff that always returns my calls in a prompt time frame with thorough answers . There is always someone in the office So it allows for attentive service. I truly appreciate everyone there and especially Christine James . I recommend her any chance I get and will continue to do so.
