It has been my pleasure to co-mediate multiple family law cases with Christine. She is a smart, highly effective lawyer with the skills both to problem-solve issues well and to know when to litigate. Her knowledge and instincts are excellent, and she is organized and efficient. I highly recommend her as both a lawyer and a mediator!

Personally worst experience ever with Krystle. The lawyer did not fight for my daughter. It ended up being almost 9,000$ lost for nothing. I mean im told right off the batt yes 80% custody / parenting time is possible with your case. Then a month before trial Im told its 50/50 id the best. she didnt fight for anything that she stated My daughter and I deserved, all she wanted was an agreement which no one did. Complete waste of time and money. I would not recommend unless you have thousands and thousands of dollars to waste.

Christine is soft spoken and kind, however, she can be very tough when need be. Christine did
