Cristina B Mehling

Cristina was my divorce attorney. It's hard to believe she had any education, background or understanding of family law. She turned my simple and winner divorce case to a 10 days trial and happily lost my case and blamed it on bad luck. She didn't listen to her client at all. She ignored the truth ...I was presenting to her; she chose not to submit many of my useful evidence; didn't use my witnesses; she ignored my objections, she just didn't care about me!... She bulked charged me and when I asked for details she got mad at me (insulted me) and then sent me a random list that some were not even related to my case. She showed me no professionalism. She came to the court with absolutely no plans ... she is a poor performer and struggling with presenting a simple case. She has bad attitude and allow herself to insult her client (I'm a modest, respectful and professional engineer working in one of the biggest IT company in world). It took me one whole year after my divorce and hundreds of emails and phone calls and later another attorney involved until finally I got my case binder from her in hard copy format and not electronic as she was never capable to manage the files and documents. At last she emailed me and called me 'rude' and bunch of nonsense which I chose to ignore. I feel sorry for her and her clients; I think being attorney is not her thing.

I used Christina in a case, after I looked for 3 years for a job and 14+ interviews I hired her to help me with a case against my former employee. She was not on time with anything, she did not properly prepare me for a deposition, after she basically threw the case she dropped my case without warnin...g and said to me "get a job" obviously she never had any interest in my case in the first place or even knew any of their facts of she would have known I had tried for 3 years and I hired her because I was unable to "get a job" she is extrelmly unprofessional, unprepared, and unfeeling. I would have probably been better off to do the work myself than hire her to represent me.

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.
