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 at...torney, Christine knows her stuff and I highly recommend her services!

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

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 filin...g 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!!!!

Posted by Angie | August 18, 2018 | Hired Attorney | Chapter 13 Bankruptcy
