Bio
Allan Schwartz
Christine Lee is an exemplary person and worker. She is always conscientious, dedicated and cheerful about her job responsibilities. Her work product recommends her far better than any words I can apply to that task.
Daniel F. McLennon
It is with great pleasure that I recommend Christine Lee. In a word, she is tenacious. Christine cares deeply about her clients’ well being, and she wants the best results for them at the least cost. This passion drives her persistently to dig into case facts to find the critical information that will make a difference in the outcome of a case. It also drives her to research the law voraciously in search of the cases and statutes that may compel an outcome favorable to the client. She has the experience to know where to look, so that her efforts are efficient and not wasteful, so that costs are minimized. Christine is a zealous advocate, and her courtroom skills have won her clients better than expected results, and her oral advocacy has been praised by opposing counsel. Finally, I am pleased to recommend Christine because she is a pleasure to work with—she is a nice, decent person.
