Cristina B Mehling

I hired Cristina to handle my divorce. This was a huge mistake. Her lack of attention and interest in my case was unacceptable. She never returned my phone calls. She would schedule a telephone conference with me and would not call or answer her phone at the scheduled time. She always had a differen...t excuse for missing the scheduled phone conferences. One of her excuses was that her taxes were due and she could not talk to me because that day was the deadline. Honestly, I did not feel this was my problem. This was inappropriate for her to tell me that as that was her issue and not mine. I never told her "oh I can't pay you because my rent is due today". She would not give a crap because rightfully so my rent is not her issue. So I did not feel that her waiting to the last day to do her taxes was my issue. I know there are no guarantees of anything in any case but as her client she never worked in my best interest. She eventually withdrew because she did not like the fact that I told her she was not interested in my case. For those of you who had a better experience with this attorney....good for you. But I do not recommend her. I did hire another GREAT attorney who actually did his job. The new attorney gave 100 percent energy, effort, time and research to my case which resulted in a successful outcome. Since my case was not a huge money maker for Cristina, it was not important to her so unfortunately she did not deliver.......worst experience EVER!!!

The first time I heard about Ms Mehling I received an email from her since I was trying desperately in every search avenue I could find to locate a good lawyer to help me with my divorce case. Her email simply read 'I can help you". This she did! Through a very lengthy and ugly divorce case Cristina ...kept her calm, professionalism and treated us both respectfully. Cristina is warm, friendly, very easy to talk to and worked with me in all aspects of my case. I only wish I had found her sooner. Wonderful Lawyer and would certainly recommend her. I actually hired her to represent me in another matter that just came up recently. I know she will do whatever it takes to help me with this matter as well.

I contacted Cristina on a matter of land possesion and conflict. She was informative as to our legal position and proposed a plan of resolution which totally resolved the conflict with my neighbor. This plan involved several steps including a land survey and contact with neighbor. She kept me informe...d throughout each step. I was able to build a retaining wall legally with the help of Cristina and the planner from the City of Bellevue. Sometimes walls do make good neighbors. After this experience Dan and I went back to Christina for to update our wills. Again she was informative and gave us good advice on how to taylor our estate to support our children that are currently minors should we die. I have recommended Cristina to several friends that are considering legal aid for property modifications that involve neighbors.

We recently purchased a real estate property and are happy with the legal services Cristina provided. In one case, the HOA made a mistake and caused us quite some hassle, and we had a hard time to get their attention to have the issue addressed. After we contacted Cristina, she put together and send ...out a letter for us and the issue was favorably resolved pretty much on the same day. Recommend Cristina! - Edit Review
