Chris is the BEST!

Chris was wonderful in court. She is attentive, strong and so very smart. I've never seen anyone prepare like her. My ex-husband tried to move away and take my kids with him. We had joint legal and joint physical custody so I was terrified. The matter went to a full hearing and Chris stopped all of t...hat. I was so relieved I almost cried. My kids will live with me and continue school in their district. I would recommend Chris to anyone who needs a family law attorney in court.

Chris was phenomenal in family law court today. My case is over and I am elated. If you need a great family law attorney in Orange County, definitely choose Chris! She's extremely good.

WE ARE VERY HAPPY CLIENTS

Christine is an awesome attorney who helped us a great deal on my fiancee's Custody and Visitation Battle. She always made herself available and at very reasonable prices. We loved having her support thru those hard times and would definitely recommend her services to anyone that needs legal help.
