This was my first experience needing a criminal lawyer, and I'm so lucky I chose Christine. She was able to calm my anxiety from the first phone call, and the results she achieved with her "magic" were outstanding. Thank you, Christine!

Resolved a 21 year old legal issue for me in a timely and professional manner. Staff was responsive and helpful. Highly recommend.

Christine did an excellent job handling my case. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable but compassionate as well. Christine was able to help me get out of an unfortunate situation with a not guilty verdict at trial. She was always willing to answer my questions and concerns along the way and truly cared about myself and my case. I couldn't have asked for a better attorney.

Christine is very knowledgeable and professional. I wouldn't have known where to start with my case without her. She was my saving grace in a very stressful situation. Because of her expertise, hard work, and compassionate support, Christine was able to guide me through an overwhelming court system and get my case dismissed. If you're going through any criminal issues, this is the lawyer to call.Thank you CHRISTINE BRANSTAD for the great service, as this was the first time I have had to use the services of an attorney I can say I am very pleased with what you has provided while representing me in my case I would give her 10 stars if I could.

I was referred to Christine after a severe accident found me looking at serious charges that did not make sense. At our first meeting the thing that struck me the most and made my decision to have her represent me was the quiet confidence that she projected when we talked about the whole scenario. She was very upfront and very direct in her questions of what had happened. There was no arrogance or war stories about past cases. That confidence alone gave me more comfort over the next year as we worked through the court system and is what I believe led to the judge’s decision. Christine’s demeanor and intelligence alone would make her a good attorney but it is the coupling of her composure and knowledge of the law that make her a great attorney and a great friend years later. You will not find a more competent and approachable person to have lead you through the legal process, no matter the situation, than Christine and her office. I have used them exclusively since my accident and it is evident from being in multiple courtrooms and meeting rooms through the years that the entire legal community shows incredible respect and admiration for Christine and the ethics that she exhibits daily.

I was looking at some time in prison, Christine was there to fight for what was best and needless to say I didn’t go to prison other options was worked out but without her I would be doing 5 years she pitched a good resolution and it was accepted. I appreciate the person she is and h for another chance to get through this.; from me and my family to her and her family Thank You,,! Your a amazing person and what she has done for me will always be held remembered and ;appreciated.;After working with her I do agree there is caring people and they will help you succeed.

Twenty years ago, my husband was in a compromising and extremely stressful situation due to manipulation and false accusations. His lawyer had only made things worse. His brilliant research career was on the line. He was stressed to the max. I suggested he contact Christine Branstad because I had heard good things about her. He did. He was treated with complete respect, and felt secure in the process. Christine’s immediate discernment of the situation, her superior knowledge of the law and her quick, on-the-spot ability to respond correctly in court, not only saved his career but enabled him to live stress free. Over the years I have recommended, what is now, the Branstad and Olson Law firm to several people. All of them have had positive outcomes and come back to thank me with glowing things to say about how they were treated with respect and their lives returned to normal due to the firms unparalleled knowledge of the law. Recently I too have experienced the firms help. It was not a huge problem, but in my old age, it was stressful and daunting to me until Christine and the team took care of all the legal end of things with ease. I cannot thank them enough. The entire team works together smoothly. I was treated with the same care and respect as if this had been a huge problem. I too am extremely thankful for them. --Martha

Without a doubt, Christine and her team are amazing. I have used Christine on a few occasions, and have experienced nothing but satisfaction. You are truly made to feel like she cares about you and your case, because she honestly does. Anytime I needed an update on my cases, I knew all I had to do was call, and Christine or Nathan would promptly get me the information I was asking about. Plus it’s not just the two of them, Summer and Torrie also went above and beyond to make sure I felt appreciated and not like I was “just another client”, because to this whole team you aren’t. They set me up with the MyCase app, and everything was right there at my fingertips. Highly recommend using Christine, Nathan, and the entire team for any of you’re legal needs.

I have had the pleasure of working with Christine a few times. A few times she was not my lawyer, but I was a witness in a huge trial case, that she won. A couple of years later I was faced with a theft charge. She knew that I didn't have much money and allowed me to pay when I could. The outcome of that case was just as she said it would be. This past June I was charged with a theft charge and with my previous theft charges 5 and 6 years prior, the county attorney was wanting me to do 90 days, 2 years probation, and a repeat offenders class. I have 5 children ages 2 to 13 years and 90 days was not something that I could personally do without hurting my children and husband. Christine kept reminding me that she was not going to allow me to do jail time and would take this to trial if needed. Thankfully, everything worked out. Christine is not a Monday thru Friday lawyer, she contacted me on a Saturday morning to go over my case and responded to me on a Sunday evening after I text her. Christine is a fighter and willing to fight for what is fair and not scared to go to trial. Thankfully, even though Christine was not able to go to my final court date, because she had a prior commitment and the judge refused to continue the hiring, I ended up not doing jail time, just like she said. Everyone in her firm is AMAZING. I would never walk into a courtroom without one of them representing me.

Prompt, attentive and willing to go beyond the scope of my expectations. She listened, and then with care proceeded to explain the possible outcomes - I am so thankful that I made this call. Highly recommended!!

Christine successfully negotiated a successful plea for my issue. She is very professional and has great experience

I hired Christine to handle a traffic ticket that i was issued that would've had a huge negative impact my CDL and livelihood. I was extremely satisfied with the professionalism and how easy it was to get ahold of her and others in the office. She is very knowledgable about the legal system and ultimately helped get my case dismissed. I had spoken to a couple other attorneys before I spoke with Christine and I knew within a couple minutes she was the right person for my case. It was my first time having legal trouble and she took the time to explain the process and what would happen along the way. She will be my first call if I ever find myself needing representation again.
