Christine graduated from Western Washington University with a cross-disciplinary degree in Law and Diversity, focused on American cultural diversity and the law, and from the University of Idaho College of Law, where her work in the legal aid clinic led to a focus on family law in her practice. After several years as a legal aid volunteer attorney, she joined a Whitman County criminal defense firm as their first family law attorney. Her own family matters brought her back to the west side of the state.
"Family, good, bad or indifferent, is part of our foundation and often central to our lives. Sadly, you may need protection from a family member with unmanageable issues, but for the most part, those relationships are part of who we are, now and in the future. My commitment is to provide compassionate legal assistance to clients dealing with changed family relationships, without damaging them beyond repair in the process, especially if children are involved. In family law, that's a win .".

Professional, Knowledgeable, and Helpful! Christine made things much easier for me.
Christine was very helpful from the beginning. I was given a free consultation, and my options were clearly laid out for me in how to proceed. At first, I was very confused by laws and procedures, but she helped my understand everything. When I decided how I wanted to proceed, she was quick to get...
