What My Clients Are Saying

“Christina is my “go to” mediator especially when the other party is unrepresented. She is knowledgeable about family law but as an attorney she provides legal information in a fair and balanced way. Christina is a highly skilled negotiator and able to work through conflict to uncover the real interests of both rooms. Over the years Christina consistently provides a high level of service but her compassion for families sets her apart. She really cares and it comes through in all her interactions.”

“When I was served with divorce papers I was surprised and devastated financially and emotionally. Christina took time to explain the process before my mediation and helped me navigate my emotions with patience during mediation. She gave me the information about the laws, encouraged good informed decision making and helped me see the big picture. She was direct and kept the conversation moving forward. I didn’t think I would get a fair shake but I did! Highly recommend her.”

“My ex-wife and I saved thousands of dollars using Christina to mediate our divorce. We both knew we wanted to be fair with each other but didn’t know what that would look like. Christina recommended a tax and financial planner and we were able to spend money with experts to make sure we made smart decisions when we divided our assets. Christina helped us find an attorney to draft and file our documents. The whole divorce took less than 4 months and we were very pleased with the process. Christina is smart, caring and was really wonderful to work with during a very difficult time.”

“Christina is a well informed attorney and trained and experienced mediator. Her process is to the point and she has a real ability to help parties redirect their conflict into a productive conversation. I’ve been working with her for years and am always impressed with her legal knowledge and ability to manage the parties and their attorneys. She is at the top of my list of mediators.”
