Bio
Debbie Fishell
Christine has done the impossible and filled her father's shoes as a top notch estate planning attorney! Not only is she highly knowledgeable, but she is able to explain to us 'laymen', in simple terms and with diagrams, how complicated estate plans are put together. I feel so much more secure knowing that my assets are covered and my heirs taken care of. I recommend Christine to anyone who needs a plan.
Thomas Deppert
My family has worked with Christine for about 8 years. She is more than just an attorney - she truly cares. Christine is patient, kind and understanding. I consider her a trusted friend. She has a great team at Forakis and I can't say enough about her and her staff. I recommend her as the only legal planner you'll ever need. Warmest regards, Tom Deppert
