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!!!

Cristina did a great job in handling my very sticky and drawn out divorce. I always felt she had my best interests at heart and she fought very hard for me to get me a very fair deal. She isn't cut-throat like many divorce lawyers, but I also never felt like she was pushing my divorce on and on unn...ecessarily just so she could keep billing me. Her words were always "let's get this over with so you can move on with your life!" She was always quick to respond to my phone calls and emails and her billing was very fair, in that I never had any questions about the hours she was billing me for my case.

Cristina was incredibly responsive in a very urgent matter. She took care of my needs quickly and professionally. Then when follow up was required on my part - she kindly and politely reminded me of what I needed to do to complete our business. Cristina is also very trustworthy as when I had a questi...on that was outside her scope of knowledge she let me know and directed me to where I could find the answer I needed. I would recommend Cristina to anyone.

Cristina helped me with a cohabitation agreement as well as a living will and advance healthcare directive. She is very knowledgeable, efficient, and has the experience to understand how these types of matters are contested in court, which is an essential differentiator when selecting a lawyer. It's ...one thing to get an attorney with a specialization in a practice area, but it's a shorter list that have been in court and can author agreements and contracts in such as way that they are preserved and remain as intended even under protest. Cristina did a great job and I would recommend her highly for family law matters and contract matters.
