About Christina:
I am a litigator and trial attorney who works to protect the reputations of individuals and businesses of all sizes that have been maliciously attacked online. When a competitor, disgruntled employee, patient, or customer is attacking a client, I work tirelessly to stop the harmful conduct and restore my client’s good name.
I am a passionate advocate for my clients, one they can rely on to provide subject matter expertise and creative solutions to their problems. I am also a compassionate listener and counsel my clients throughout the litigation process with empathy and thorough explanations about how I will work to achieve their goals.
I have a proven track record of winning cases in several trial and appellate courts and am dedicated to obtaining the best results for my clients. When someone is attacking a client’s good reputation, I use all of the skills and knowledge at my disposal to put a stop to the attacks and help my clients regain the peace of mind they deserve.
