Cristin Michelle Lowe

Don’t even think about using her! Absolutely awful and unprofessional. I made the mistake of hiring her to represent me and after months of no progress I fired her 2 weeks before my court hearing. She lacks knowledge, is aloof and unresponsive, but tells you arrogantly how good she is whilst simu...ltaneously missing the absolute basics such as filing the documents I had spent time completing. I only uncovered this after firing her, the other side were understandably very frustrated and it set my case back significantly. What a mess she left behind and how many items I needed to complete and file myself. She’s a fraud, Corina in her office was polite and helpful but Josh……..arghh what a class A patronising idiot he is! She will happily take a big retainer from you, smile and promise you the earth. That may very well be the last piece of communication you get from her..AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

DO NOT USE CRISTIN LOWE...EVER! I hired her in March 2021 for an extremely simple, non-contested, EASY Legal Separation from my husband. (We're still married but not "been together" for over a decade but live part time. get along, vacation together, raised our boys, and a fantastic platonic fun rel...ationship). She did an initial consult for 400 an hour. I hired her. I literally NEVER HEARD from her again! Not even being exaggerated. She filed the initial separation in S.F. Superior Court and there is a 6 month wait period in CA. Early November 2021 (6 month wait period ended). Did I get my Legal Separation Agreement that I needed so I could then get the QDRO's done and all filed to Superior Court? NO. Mind you this was a NON CONTESTED, AGREEABLE Legal Separation. All we needed was the Agreement so then QDROs could be completed by a QDRO Attorney I already consulted with. Tick Tock...month rolls on....I tried contacting her. She committed CLIENT ABANDONMENT! December. 2021...January 2022...still NOTHING. February 2022...nope...March 2022...nil. In meantime, my Separation Agreement could've been done MONTHS ago. I would've already been paid out by the retirement 401/457 of my husband as my settlement for 21 years of marriage. I wasn't going after any spouse support, there's no custody issue, no CALPERS pension so this was quick. My husband is getting more impatient as months pass because of the legal separation, there is "hold" on the accounts so he can't contribute to his retirement accounts which brings his "net" TAXABLE income bracket higher. Her long delay not doing anything, we both have lost THOUSANDS (15k combined) in our accounts which impacts me greatly since its MY FINAL SETTLEMENT with my husband and I would've had the cash before all the losses if she DID HER JOB I HIRED HER FOR! She NEVER RESPONDED to ANY email after initial hiring. Her paralegal kept saying I have it on her calendar to "catch up" and hopefully you'll get your agreement soon. March 2022 rolls by and I had enough! It's already been a YEAR since the initial filing of our separation in Superior Court. All I need is the Legal Separation Agreement. This isn't rocket science! There aren't lawyers involved on both sides, there's no arguments with my spouse. VERY AMICABLE. I waited 5 MONTHS for a simple painless, non-complicated Legal Separation Agreement. I terminated her at end of March 2022. Did she apologize? NO. Did she even bother to try to explain herself? NO. Just crickets as usual from her. I hired another attorney April 1, 2022 who completed my Legal Separation Agreement in 3 DAYS! Got my QDRO's done right after and within a week I had everything needed. Cristin Lowe didn't even KNOW that my husband's 401/457 company Mission Square are managers just like Fidelity or TRowe. They aren't even CALPERS or have anything to do with CALPERS which I already told her I wasn't going to touch his pension, so her filing a joinder in Superior Court for CALPERS in 2021 was stupid and unnecessary and cost me fees I didn't have to pay to begin with. She will initially give "great advice" and be good in the consultation but after that? You'll never hear from her again. NOT ONE UPDATE about your case, not one email to let you know the progress or next step. She should've had my Legal Separation Agreement READY TO GO and COMPLETED right when the 6 month wait period was over. I had to call her office to make an appointment just to discuss the financial arrangement my husband I agreed upon. That is HER JOB TO CONTACT ME TO GET THE DETAILS so she could FINISH the legal separation agreement she didn't even bother to start. Junk attorney. Cristin Lowe is the absolute worst and too expensive for the little she did. Charging for every email or phone call that you're forced to make to try to get any answer on the progress of your case. Horrid. DO NOT HIRE HER. YOU WILL REGRET IT.

I am not impressed with Cristin at all. She is not very empathetic at all. I been seeing her for almost a year. She never responds on time and very rarely answer my questions or concerns. . She made me look bad in front of my ex and his attorney by talking down to me. She was not prepared for my ...4 way. She made me do all the talking. On her website sh gives suggestions on how a case should be handled at different stages of a divorce by both the client and his/her attorney. However, she never follows her own advice. She is very rude to me. My case is very complicated and my ex' s attorney is very aggressive and attacks me every opportunity she gets. Cristin never defends me and is not aggressive in handling my case. I am extremely disappointed. If I had known this, I would have never taken her on as my attorney. I don't understand why she is getting so many great reviews. It seems like some of these positive reviews are fake.
