I asked Cristin a question from her webpage and she not only gave me a really good answer, she offered to take a quick look at my forms before I turned them in. I took her up on the offer and a few weeks later dropped by her office. She works incredibly fast! In what seemed to be no more than a few seconds, she caught several errors and mentioned she wanted to review a few of my choices with me. I won’t get into the specifics, but her catch saved me a serious amount of money in tax implications. Best part about the whole thing was when she was done, she refused to take any type of payment! Why? She said “You are a good parent, put in an unfortunate situation. Going over these forms is the least I can do.” I thought I’d see a unicorn or a flying pig before finding an honest lawyer, but I found her.

From the beginning to the end, throughout the entire process, Cristin was truly a helper I could depend on without worrying. She's knowledgeable, considerate, detail-oriented, clear, timely, and very comfortable to work with. She is the BEST.

Cristin is amazing! From the start to the finish of my case, she did everything she could to accommodate me. When I came in for my consult, I brought my daughter because I couldn’t get a sitter. Cristin mentioned I would get more out of the consult if my daughter was not in the room so we could speak candidly. I wasn’t sure what to do, but one of her staff brought out a laptop and offered a few movies for her to watch. Normally I’d never leave my daughter out of my site, but I felt really comfortable with Cristin and her staff. They set her up in a cube where she happily watched Princess and the Frog. My one hour consult lasted almost as long as the movie and from it I gained a wealth of information. She gave sound advice, and not once did I pick up that she was trying to sell herself. Her main focus was on my daughter and the best outcome for her. Needless to say, I was very happy, and my daughter was begging to go back. Cristin managed to keep my case out of the courtroom which saved a lot on costs. Most of our communication was done electronically and saved me from taking time off work and time away from my daughter. Although my case isn’t completely finished, I can say without hesitation that I there is no one I’d rather have on my side through this ordeal. Cristin is one a million.

I hired Ms. Lowe to represent me in 2006. I think she was very green. I was stressed and had mixed feelings about my divorce and child custody. Instead of my lawyer helping me get what I wanted and what my child needed, she basically left me to do it myself with a very laissez-faire attitude. It was almost like she didn't want to work for me. Basically all she did was file paperwork. She did not advise me in ANY way. She actually seemed to be friends with my ex-husband's lawyer! Now because of how the paperwork was written up...I have to fight for custody again from another state! Unless she has gotten more experience, I would not recommend her.

I'm currently in the middle of my divorce, and we were recently in court on a custody and visitation motion. I was so frustrated by the other attorney. We had an agreement and then my soon to be ex backed out at the last second. I was close to losing it, but Cristin kept me focused and calm. We were standing in the law library talking while my ex and his attorney were out in the hall "discussing strategy", and then another attorney approached Cristin. They exchanged pleasantries and then moved on. When Cristin and my ex's attorney went outside to talk, the other attorney came back up to me and whispered "You got really lucky with your attorney. She's one of the best in the county." wow! You just don't hear things like that. But just like the attorney said, when we went in front of the judge, Cristin stuck to our plan and calmly addressed the issues. The Judge agreed with her, and we were done. I felt very well taken care of and represented. We have a long road ahead of us, but I know I'm in the hands of one of the best lawyers in the county! Just ask her peers. :-)

I chose Cristine on a friends advice. I had been struggling with another divorce lawyer and working with Cristine was such a refreshing experience in such a difficult time. Cristine knew exactly what I needed to do to protect myself and prevented me from making a number of very costly mistakes. I would recommend her to anyone in this unfortunate position.
