This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Amazing support

Christina has been an immense help to my partner and I through a very high conflict personality parenting case. She has been out "lawyer mom" and walked us through every step. Her knowledge and expertise in family law is undeniable. I would recommend Christina to anyone dealing with any type of diffi...cult dispute

Amazing

Christina and her team have been an incredible support system through very difficult time. She has a huge amount of compassion and understanding and very knowledgable on what works and what does not! I am very grateful for her courtroom presentation and willingness to fight for my children! I would r...ecommend Christina for any of your family court matters.

Lawyer

Outstanding lawyer, so personable, shatters stereotypical stuffy lawyer reputation. From the moment I began working with Christina I knew she was the kind of person who is honest, looks you straight in the eye, kind and listens as well as offers extremely good advice. My friend recommended her an...d he could not say enough about her. Nobody likes to have to go to court, write wills, or deal with difficult law issues, but if you do, you should contact Christina.

Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter

"I endorse Christina. I have had several matters recently with Christina on the other side. She is a knowledgeable and smart, balancing reasonableness with representing her clients with zeal. She is one of those attorneys who works to defuse family law cases rather than increasing the conflict. Christina is a problem solver who thinks outside the box whenever needed to seek solutions for her client. I do not hesitate referring clients to Christina if I have a conflict."

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Christina is a real star in the family law community. She truly cares about her clients and obtaining the best possible results, sometimes under very difficult circumstances. In an area of law where the attorneys are often adversarial, Christina is actually very pleasant and clients who retain her are lucky to have an intelligent, hard-working, and strong advocate on their side. I feel very comfortable sending clients to Christina and I wholeheartedly endorse her."
