Posted by Quinn | September 20, 2025 | Hired Attorney | Child Custody

compression builds power like time builds a case.

Crista Benedict has been amazing for my custody case, she was one of the few attorneys who shared my concerns, she has a small child of her own and saw exactly where I was coming from. I’m very pleased to have retained her and stuck with her, that is not to say that there weren’t times of frustration... due to the speed at which the case moved, which might be a similar complaint found elsewhere in the reviews, but that has more to do with the nature of the legal system than with Crista’s lack of commitment. Often times I would receive an email at 12:30 at night after she had been at the office all day, she somehow found time to be both a mother and a dedicated professional. Another example is during a recovery after surgery she was working, which is very impressive. I can be a difficult customer at times, but Crista was patient and tempered my decisive nature with caution. If you hire her, I encourage patience, she is like a steam engine, she may appear slow at first but given time she works much faster delivering powerful persuasive arguments.
