You need her for your kids

Christie has single handled made it so my kids are not put through any more trauma by their maternal grandmother or father . Her skills as an attorney can’t be matched. I haven’t ever seen anyone be able to walk into a court room and make sure everything that you asked for happens. My children have ...been through countless years of damage at the hands of my ex-husband and without Christie I would never have gotten my children to where they are now safe, secure, and only with me they see their father only twice a month versus him keeping them all weekend. My prior attorney was unable to do anything over 2 1/2 years and Christie did everything in nine months. She won’t take you as a client if you lie and I’ve come across a lot of attorneys she isn’t there for your money she’s there for your kids only

5 star

I would highly recommend christie .Christie helped my wife and I get custody of my son and my wife adopting my son.She was very helpful in the 2 plus year long battle,even reducing our fees because opposing party made life difficult with countless paperwork filed against us.

Christie Bara Mitchell-Guttman

I was referred to Christie Mitchell by a friend in 2012 and had seen her in court prior to that. During our consultation she advised me on what to do but was honest in saying I didn't need to hire her at that point. Once my case got more complicated I went ahead and hired her for peace of mind and he...r expertise. She has been by my side and has been a great support, resource, and attorney since I hired her. I had a different attorney prior to Christie that was good but seemed to be more interested in charging me rather than doing what was best for my kids and myself. Christie is more interested in doing what's best and cost effective for her clients. I have had to deal with multiple mediations and court hearings since 2012 but only due to the other party and the court system. I will be going back to court again soon, hopefully for the last time but I am secure and confident since Christie will be by my side.

Excellent attorney puts the child first

I recently hired Christie. I've been in a terrible divorce battle for 6 years. My first attorney was the most inept attorney you could imagine and created a black hole for me I've been having to deal with. My last attorney came down with cancer right before a court date and had to remove herself imme...diately from the case and recommended Christie. She heard my story and gave me conscice answers and direction. She quickly took action and its been so refreshing. I finally feel there's light at the end of the tunnel. She is truly working in my son's best interest, not mine or his mother's. I'm retired after 25 years in law enforcement. Seeing Christie work is like working with a prosecutor that knows the law and how to put evidence together to get the right outcome.

The best family law attourey period.

Christie handled my dissolution of marriage along with custody issues with the kids. She was honest from the start gave no false ideas as to what was going to happen. She handled the process quickly and inexpensively compared to my previous attorney. Unfortunately in any divorce you do not always ge...t what you hope for. I appreciated her honesty in explaining the process along with what is achievable and what was not. I've recommended her to many of my friends. And unfortunately have also seen one of my friends with an attorney going up against her. That's a predicament you do not want to be in. I'm so thankful she was ony team.
