Posted by Craig | March 5, 2025 | Hired Attorney

This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Incompetent

Grossly incompetent. Completely unprepared and lacks the legal accumen to counter any argument. You will absolutely regret hiring.

Posted by Kenneth | April 6, 2016 | Consulted Attorney

This review is from a potential client who consulted with this attorney.

Caring and Compassionate

I had the privilege of working with Christina in law school and on family law cases. She is extremely passionate and strives to provide resolution to her clients in difficult times. I wholeheartedly recommend her for all your family law needs.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"It's hard to find a lawyer who is licensed in Florida and practices in Tennessee, but Christina is both. Even though she's only been licensed about a year she knows her stuff. She is no-nonsense and doesn't take any guff from the other side. If you need a good lawyer for your divorce, custody, or child support case, you should give her a call."

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
