Christina successfully represented us in the custody arrangements of our grandchildren. She was extremely good with the legal aspects of the case and had an excellent handle on the situation. Additionally, she cares about providing her services and keeping the children's interests in mind. I highly recommend Christina to anybody who is looking for such services.

For Christina There are not enough words to express how grateful I am for you. Before we began working together, I could not see the light at the end of the tunnel. For me, this was such a hard yet beautiful experience. I want to thank you and your team for all of your support and dedication. Christina always made sure I understood the process and walked me through every step of our adoption. I was fortunate to have you alongside us. You made this process so easy and always worked hard for us. Thank you for always accommodating me. I could not thank you enough. We could not have gotten our adoption finalized without you. Not many people can understand all that we face during a tricky adoption process like mine but I thank you for making me feel so heard, understood and supported. I knew if I had a question about anything, she would answer immediately. Thank you again. Please know this means the world to me. With lots of gratitude, The Palacios Family

Christina helped us succeed in a very complex adoption process ! Her knowledge of the law and judicial process was much appreciated.

We worked with Christina for the adoption of our son and it was an amazing experience. She is truly caring and believes in what she does. She takes her time to answer questions and make sure you’re comfortable with the process and understand what is happening every step of the way. I highly recommend her, you will not be disappointed

My husband and I wanted to go through the adoption process with his two girls, whom I consider my own and have been a "mom" to since they were both very young. With their birth mom not in the picture for many years, we wanted to make things "official" and wanted to do a step-parent adoption. Christina was so wonderful! She was very detailed and thorough and made sure to explain the process to us every step of the way. She made sure all of the proper paperwork was handled and always kept us up to date on everything. It was a very painless process and we were so happy when the final hearing took place and we could all celebrate. I wouldn't hesitate in referring Christina to my friends or family because I know they would be in wonderful hands! Thank you Christina for always responding, your in-depth knowledge and your assistance through everything! We couldn't be happier!

Christina did an excellent job of guiding me through the process of adopting my grandson. She was professional, compassionate, and always available for all of my questions and concerns. I would highly recommend her .

I reached out to Christina during a moment of extreme crisis after my ex-partner had filed for a specious restraining order against me, got denied, and still moved out of the state with our children without informing me. Christina was so incredibly helpful, responding to my worried and excessive questions with care, tact, and kindness. She helped me draft emails, prepare filings, and basically kept me from losing my entire mind during this awful period. I ended up getting my children back to California, and I don't know if any of that would have happened without Christina's guidance. If you're looking for someone who will invest time and energy in your case, and will always keep the best interests of your children front and center, Christina is far and away your best choice.

Christina is highly competent, extremely knowledgeable and really knows her way around the law. Always accessible, very understanding she was able to present options in a clear and succinct manner. She understood the urgency of our matter and always responded promptly and produced high quality work. Aside from her overall professionalism in her work, she was a real pleasure to get to know and was very personable. We never felt intimidated and had the utmost trust in her guidance and direction. We would highly recommend her and would use her services again!!

I would like to thank my wonderful attorney Christina Maranhao who was there for me and my family and walked us through the legal system. Christina was always available to answer any questions that we had, and she always got back to us in a very timely manner. It’s very comforting to know you have someone walking through a process with you that is so capable, and I was so grateful to have her on our side! I just can’t say enough about Christina and Moore Law firm, they were there for me and my family every step of the way! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Jan

I went through a divorce this year. Even though my now ex-wife and I decided to use a mediator, I wanted my own attorney to navigate me through the process and to ensure I was being represented fairly. I hired Christina upon the glowing recommendation from friends who had hired her to mediate their divorce. On the very first phone call, I relaxed knowing I had found the very best consultant possible. Christina is incredibly smart and knowledgeable and kept me 100% aware of my rights under California law as she guided me through the divorce process. She read through and explained all of my divorce paperwork and court documents up to the final agreement and court filing. I signed every single document knowing I was protected. Beyond that, Christina was kind, patient and very understanding that her clients are going through an emotionally difficult time. I could not imagine navigating the divorce process without her. I hope you never need a divorce attorney, but if you do, you couldn't be in better hands.

My divorce was a nightmare of complexity. I had trouble finding a lawyer with both the experience and willingness to take it on. After consulting with several attorneys I was referred to More Law For Children and Christina Maranhao. After the consultation I knew immediately I had the right firm to handle the divorce and child custody for my case. Christina and her team were professional and experienced in all of the matters I was concerned about. As time went on and unexpected things arose they were prepared at every step. Things took a while. I mention that because I initially worried things would get forgotten or fall through the cracks. This was not the case. Evey communication was as if we had just spoken about things. Christina really kept on top of things and made me feel as if I were her only client. Her strength is definitely perfect follow through and relentless attention to detail. I needed this to offset my tendency to put things off until the last minute. Life sucked during the quarantine and divorce, so thank goodness Christina had enough focus, resolve, and fortitude for all of us. I also thought billing was fair. My other experiences with attorneys have not been such, so it was a relief to have things come in at or below the estimate and have invoices outlining everything. I hope I never need Christina again, but for anyone in a tough divorce and child custody situation, it is a relief to have her in your corner.

This review is a LONG TIME COMING. Unfortunately, it's all too common to need a family law practitioner at some point in your life. I cannot recommend this office and these Christina ENOUGH. I had an extremely difficult case a few years ago and to this very day I'm still stunned about not only their professionalism but their tenacity, knowledge, compassion, strength and determination to fight for me and all of their clients. Christina was absolutely incredible. She was unbelievable! Mind you, my son's father is a millionaire. Not just on paper. Millions liquid. Compared to him I'm poverty stricken. Christina, in collaboration with Sahar Douraghy, were fair in fees and won my case against some heavy hitting attorneys that worked for my son's father! These women didn't even bat an eye! They not only won my case but fed the defense some of their "own." They made me feel like I was family and fought for me as if I WERE IN FACT family. I will NEVER go to any other attorney should I ever need help again. If you just give them an opportunity and go in for a consult, you will walk out feeling like everything for once, is going to be just fine. Thank you, ladies! You changed the lives of my son Ryan and myself in a way I never thought possible. Thank you for everything!!!
