The 2019 reviews below are similar to my own bad experience with this greedy, selfish and sloppy lawyer. Christine has a high cognitive intelligence, but a low emotional intelligence. She can provide competent counsel and is quite a strong writer but what comes across as proactivity at first is really her billing more - e.g. composing excessively long emails and filibustering during phone calls - than is necessary so she can bill more. She baits the hook saying her rate is $300something/hr., but she is effectively ripping-off at $600something/hr. as a ‘make-work’ power biller of every twitch. She extracted lots from me adding limited value beyond stating the obvious and telling me what I already know. The worst part about dealing with Christine and her officious assistant is their attitude that the clients work at their convenience, not the other way around. When she makes a mistake, she gets tricky and gaslights rather than taking responsibility and saying sorry. An awful experience!

Christine has helped me immensely on three separate occasions over the last few years. She has provided clear communication and counsel on very complex legal matters. Christine and her team are quick to respond to any of my questions or concerns. While I understand she has other clients, I always felt like a priority. During an incredibly stressful time in my life, she would patiently articulate the legal process, and helped me understand possible outcomes and options in order for me to make the best decision with the information available. Working with her, I was successful with each of my court cases. While preparing for court is not a pleasant experience for any parent, she made the expectations and preparations clear. I would recommend Christine and her team to others looking for a skilled family lawyer.

I went from a lawyer who was so bad he actually got me in trouble with the court, to Christine at Jordan Battista LLP. Since taking over my file, I haven't had to accept any offers to settle, and have wholly won the motion that I have brought. I am a believer in the fairness of the legal system, but I now know having not just a good lawyer, but a good TEAM behind them is also important. Admittedly, I'm paying over twice as much now, but I have sole custody of my little girl and Christine understands my motivations are only to keep her safe. She worked for me over her holidays and while she had a full case load. In emotional circumstances for her clients, she is straight forward, honest (even with things you may not want to hear), thoroughly prepared for court (and shows up early), and will follow clients needs over strategic plays (in my case a time delay would have been advantageous, but when I explained the stress of the case was wearing on our family, she pressed ahead and won).

Christine comes off knowledgeable and intimidating but in reality is just very immature and unprofessional, with a thought process of an angry teenager she does not observe the facts of the case and makes an attempt to resolve the issue. Instead she drags it on and insists to make the case as promiscuous and convraversal as she can to boost up her reputation as a pit bull in the court room. She should stick to fashion.

Christine was not a very knowledgeable lawyer but pretended she was. Her interests are more directed at making a name for herself then in the welfare of the client.
