First time I ever needed a lawyer and was very happy to have found Ms Oleson
Handled my case with professionalism and was on quick to respond to my concerns. She was an advocate for me in a world of uncaring bureaucrats and a hostile legal system.

Very Thorough and Professional Lawyer
Christina is very professional and did a great job! I am very happy about the outcome of my case in which she helped me in the process of getting my felonies expunged! I appreciate how she coached me on what I should say should the judge ask me questions and for answering all of the questions I had. She was very diligent and noticed mistakes that were made by the clerk once I got my motion granted. She made sure that the clerk signed my motion before mailing it to me! I would recommend Christina if you are looking to have your case expunged.

Past client
I had talked to other attorneys before, but Christina was the only attorney that handled my criminal case in a very personal and caring way. She was always honest and upfront with me. Christina Oleson understood my constant fears. I was fighting for my freedom and didn't want to go back to jail or be on probation again. I will continue to recommend her because she fights from her heart as if her life depended on it. There are lots of attorneys out there, but if you want the best go with Christina Oleson. You will be glad you did.

Perfection at it's peak
Ms. Oleson was outstanding in clearing my record. It was exceptionally easy to start the process to begin with. Filled out the required information and got a very quick response to my cases. Ms. Oleson and her staff were extremely knowledgeable , professional and courteous. I did not expect this courtesy extended to me let alone so quickly. I thought that passing information online in this process would be less than desirable. I was incorrect. My cases were attended to promptly with accuracy. I was informed and kept up to date in a timely matter. If I did have any concerns , I was able to speak to Ms. Oleson's staff promptly with no delays and have these concerns addressed immediately without hesitation. My concerns were taken care of and when I was finished speaking with Ms. Oleson's staff , I fully understood what was happening and my concerns were immediately laid to rest. Considering my case load I had laid upon Ms Oleson , all my cases were expunged within 6 months of starting the process. I had expected my cases to take much longer to go through the courts and be tangled up in red tape. Again , not so. My cases went through without delay. Considering my handy work due to more than a few violations , the fees and charges for these services were more than fair. I was unable to provide the fees required "up front ". Thanks to Ms. Oleson , Ms. Phan and Higbee & Associates I was able to be put on a payment plan that was very easy to manage. In conclusion , this has been a very pleasurable experience. Kudos to Ms. Oleson , Ms. Phan and the rest of the staff !!!

Terrific Attorney!
I've had the pleasure of working with Christina on some civil litigation cases and found her to be a most diligent, thorough and efficient attorney. She not only takes pride in doing excellent work but is also a genuine, caring and attentive person who you want on your side. I highly recommend Ms. Oleson.

God bless you!
Ms. Oleson helped me clear my felony conviction off my record. I tried to do it myself, but did not fill out the right forms according to the judge and my request was denied. I would recommend her to anyone that has a criminal record because she will fight for you.

An exceptional and caring attorney!
Christina Oleson is an exceptional attorney. I was very worried when I first spoke to Christina about my case, and it was the way she treated me from our first meeting that made all the difference in the world. She was positive, considerate, and actually cared about me as a person. I wasn't just another case to her. I felt like I didn't matter to the system, but as Christina's client I mattered to her, and that made all the difference. So Thank You Christina, not just for everything you did for my case, but for making me feel like I mattered.
