Professional and Caring
Christina took her time with me and made my divorce as stress free as possible. She genuinely cares about helping others. I was very nervous and anxious going in but her knowledge and professionalism made me feel prepared. She took the extra time to make sure I understood everything in my paperwork. I really appreciated her time and patience with me. Christina was a bright light for me during a difficult situation.

My experience with Christina Adames.
Where do I begin? Two weeks prior to a custodial court hearing in 2015, I was referred to Law Offices of Hales and Hales. Regardless of short timing, Christina took my case in and decided to represent me. From the beginning, she was honest with me about what was to be expected from each hearing. She showed up to every hearing with all the necessary information and evidence to provide to the courtroom. She is always very professional to all parties involved. During tough moments of communication with the other parties, Christina is always a voice of reason, helping to dissolve disputes by being the logical medium. We were faced with a situation that required immediate attention last year and Christina went above and beyond to ensure protection on the individuals who needed it. Her paralegal, Sonia, has been nothing short of incredible help as well. They truly care for the best interest of the case, always informative, and always going the extra mile. Thank you Christina and staff, for all your help for the past years!
