This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Works with Abusers

One of the people that she has on her staff and closely works with is a woman who is known for sexually assaulting transgender women and she has completely defended and ignored any allegations they are a danger to this community.

When you have been accused wrongly.

If you have ever been accused of something you didn't do I think you know how I felt when I was accused of violent wrongdoing by very close people. Nobody would even talk to me. When I met Christina I knew I was finally going to have a fair chance of being vindicated. She was the first and only perso...n that would even listen. Without droning on let me say that I was always confident and indeed we prevailed. Christina will be my attorney for life.

Awesome Attorney

I have known Christina for several years. Sadly, I had the misfortune of needing her professional services and advice. Her advice is sound and well researched. And she handled my small case with the same zeal and determination I observed with her larger cases. I wholeheartedly recommended her a...s an attorney.

You Can't Find A Better Attorney

Ms. DiEdoardo has been our attorney for more than three years and has handled a wide variety of issues for us including having to "clean up" a variety of disasters caused by lawyers retained prior to being referred to her. I cannot find words adequate enough to express what a marvelous attorney she ...is. Her creative approaches to presenting arguments to the court are unsurpassed and her background as a journalist adds immeasurably to her ability to express herself in written documents. She has represented our civil rights when we became enmeshed as a possible witness in a client's litigation. She has successfully represented our business interests against those of a major corporation that attempted to revoke an ongoing contract without cause; and she has represented us personally in federal court demanding that an opposing party be held in contempt for their actions against us and their failure to abide by court orders. If you seek an attorney willing to listen, able to grasp and retain minute details, willing to champion a cause and stand up for what is right in the face of opposing might, you would be hard pressed to find better representation. We give her a 15 out of a possible 10 rating...

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
