"Christine and I were opposing counsel on a case many years ago which we were able to resolve amicably. Since then, we have kept in touch and given each other advice and counsel on our respective cases. I respect her abilities as a lawyer and appreciate receiving her valuable feedback as a colleague. I would recommend her for all labor and employment law work."
"Christine is very helpful in her answers and is an excellent attorney. I have no hesitations in referring her clients."
"I endorse Christine because of her reputation in the community and for the work she has done for clients of mine outside of my area of expertise."
