About Christina
Biography
Christina is an experienced attorney who brings a wealth of varied legal experience to her family law practice. She began her legal career working with child victims of abuse and neglect and returned to family law after practicing civil litigation with a large local firm for several years. "Working on large corporate cases was challenging and educational but I missed having that direct personal connection with my clients. I practice family law with a sincere motivation to help people in crisis."
Christina’s analytical and strategic approach to family law is a clear benefit for her clients. "I like to negotiate from a position of strength while always keeping an eye on the long term consequences litigation can have on a family. It's a delicate balance that requires a thoughtful approach."
Christina is currently taking Collaborative Law cases and conducting mediations for parties without attorneys. Call Christina for a consult to find out if Collaborative Law is the right fit for your divorce.
