Tough & Compassionate
Christine is an excellent attorney, who has the experience and the heart to handle complicated employment actions. She was a terrific advocate who helped us through the tough times and drawn out process from a cold and ruthless employer.

Couldn't have and wouldn't have, stood up for myself without her.
I found Christine Adams by doing a random internet search in desperation of finding answers. She was THEE ONLY ONE out of 5 attorneys that returned my call. And right off the bat she explained to me my rights and what to do next. She was also very kind and compassionate. Something I really needed at ...
"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."
"I endorse this lawyer. She handled a difficult wrongful termination case against my client. She was aggressive, intelligent and professional. I would recommend her to any client who wants an attorney who understands the law and will fight for them. Most importantly she is ethical and honest."
