Christine A. Kingston is in private practice in her home town of Huntington Beach, California, and is a Federal Debt Relief Agency. We help people file for bankruptcy under the Bankruptcy Code. Our practice is limited to bankruptcy practice, Chapter 13 and Chapter 7 bankruptcies at this time.

 

In private practice, attorney Kingston has the freedom to take on a variety of cases and will gladly spend the time with each prospective client to first look at the alternatives to filing for bankruptcy. Christine will not file a bankruptcy action when the client is best served by perhaps a debt management program, mortgage modification, foreclosure without bankruptcy, or any other means of helping them manage and eliminate their debt concerns.

 

 We provide a FREE consultation and discuss your bankruptcy alternatives and whether bankruptcy is right for you.  Our goal is to support you in achieving your goal of financial freedom from debts and help you save your American Dream.

 

During our consultation, we review financial records and the current financial picture. We will then look at what the future might hold for my client. We look at the possible outcomes and contingencies for each option available and then, once the client is well informed, they decide the direction to take.

My consultation with Christine was very informative. Although I’m not certain if I will need to hire her in the future, I’m thankful to have had the opportunity to connect with such a professional and caring attorney. I highly recommend her for all student loan related questions.

Wonderful co-counsel
We hired Christine to be our local co-counsel on a student loan adversary case. She and her firm were a pleasure to work with throughout. Our student loan client is quite happy with the result -- something we couldn't have achieved without using the prior bankruptcy in this manner! As a fellow attorney, Christine knows her stuff and I highly recommend her services!

Honest and upfront
I chose Surf City Lawyers after reading their website. Christine and staff displayed empathy, care, and concern due to my situation being newly divorced then contemplating filing chapter 7 bankruptcy. To say the least I was overwhelmed with my situation. Christine explained the whole process thoroughly, very detailed, and no hidden fees. With her sense of humor, business mix made me feel more at home. I hired Christine they are all highly professional, get it done attitude which I love. They answered all my questions above and beyond until I completely felt comfortable and confident. They are a local business. If you’re considering bankruptcy, just be honest, ask all the questions possible, their is no dumb question. I highly recommend Surf City Lawyers. Thank you so much Christine & staff. Rachel R.

Confident, knowledgeable and efficient
When your drowning in a sea of debt I highly recommend Christine Kingston and her team. In the beginning I was scared of what I could lose, but Surf City Lawyers sat with me and explained the process and what they could assist me with. Had I not filed with Christine Kingston and her team I would have probably lost more. Thank you Surf City Lawyers!

In Great Hands
From the onset Christine assured me that she and her staff would be behind me every step of the way. She also assured me of the result. She said I should not have any problems with any step as my case had a great potential for getting passed the BK process without a hitch. Even though I initially was apprehensive about it all, Christine and her staff were always there to explain and see me through each part of the process. Like many who have gone through BK before, I wish I could have avoided it...but like many who didn’t...I’m very fortunate and appreciative to have had Christine and Surf City Lawyers to have represented me. Thank you Christine and staff, for your professionalism and care. AD

BK 13 Highly Satisfied
The best experience in my difficult times. Assisted me with the process step by step. When a creditor sent in a lien that did not comply after Chapter 13. Attorney assisted taken care of it and added them to list. No worries and no lien. Best attorney, recommend this firm to all in need of filing Chapter 13. I am now in BK 13 going strong now in my second year paying and happy ever after. Blessings!!!

Greatest Attorney on Earth!!!!
I had been having issues with my Student Loan and being hounded for years in paying the astronomical fees associated with them. I had been to many Attorneys, who "thought" they might be able to assist with my needs, but always turned me away and had no one to refer me to. But just by chance, I had found Christine and things seemed brighter. She was extremely patient, caring, compassionate and explained everything in detail to me all along the way. She was the only person who would take my case and help me! Since the school I attended was sued in 2008 by the Feds, due to that, I was able to qualify for a BK and it just made my life easier! I would recommend Christine to anyone who needs assistance! There need to be more Attorneys out there like Christine! She gives Attorneys a GREAT name and reputation!!!!

A Lifesaver When I Needed One
Hiring an attorney is rarely a pleasant experience. I sought out Christine based on a referral from someone I trust who has worked with her previously. I was being sued and needed to protect my assets. Christine was honest, analytical and aggressive. I was terrified at times but, in the end, we prevailed. Christine was able to negotiate a settlement that did not require me to file bankruptcy. The final negotiated settlement was better than I had anticipated. I am thrilled with the outcome. Christine's expertise is well worth the investment. She saved me when I thought my only option was bankruptcy or losing my home. Neither event occurred due to Christine's tenacious advocacy. I am forever appreciative.

I have consulted Atty. Christine in 2015. Atty Christine talked to me and my husband in length with out pressure . Explained Chapter 13, what is the process and expectations . Once we were approved, She kept in touch with me and at the same time I can always call her for any questions we have.regarding bankruptcy.
