Biography

Where Business Expertise Meets Legal Excellence

Christine is a family law attorney licensed in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey, with a practice that reflects something genuinely rare in the legal profession: the combination of deep legal knowledge and extensive real-world business experience.

Before focusing on law, Christine spent more than 30 years in the business world — developing the analytical skills, financial literacy, and strategic thinking that now distinguish her legal practice. Holding a Bachelor of Science in Business Administration, a Bachelor of Arts in Communication, and a Master of Business Administration, she understands the financial complexity that often lies at the heart of family law matters in ways that most attorneys simply cannot.

When a divorce involves a business, significant assets, real estate, or complex financial structures, Christine's background allows her to engage with those issues at a level of depth that makes a real difference in outcomes. She doesn't just understand the legal side — she understands the financial side too.

Over the past 15+ years, Christine has concentrated her legal practice on family law and estate planning, helping individuals and families in Pennsylvania and New Jersey navigate some of life's most challenging transitions. Her areas of focus include divorce, child custody, child support, mediation, estate planning, and wills.

Christine has also completed more than 60 hours of formal mediation training, giving her the tools to help clients resolve disputes collaboratively — often avoiding the cost, stress, and uncertainty of litigation. She approaches every case with a genuine commitment to finding practical, lasting solutions that serve her clients' real-world needs.

As a solo practitioner, Christine personally handles every aspect of each client's case. Her clients work directly with her — not a paralegal, not a junior associate — from the first consultation through final resolution. That level of personal attention, combined with her breadth of experience, is the foundation of her practice.

The Difference

What Sets This Practice Apart

A rare combination of legal expertise, business acumen, and genuine personal attention.

The Business Advantage

Most family law attorneys have never run a business, managed a balance sheet, or navigated complex financial structures. Christine has. With over 30 years of professional business experience — backed by a BSBA, MBA, and BA in Communication — she brings a level of financial literacy to family law that is genuinely rare. When your divorce involves a business, investments, real estate, or complex assets, that background isn't just helpful. It's essential.

Legal Depth, Not Just Legal Knowledge

Christine has spent more than 15 years concentrating exclusively on family law and estate planning in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. That focus means she understands the nuances of each state's laws, the tendencies of local courts, and the strategies that actually produce results — not just the textbook answers.

A Mediator's Perspective

With over 60 hours of formal mediation training, Christine approaches every case with an eye toward resolution. Even in contested matters, her mediation background helps her identify opportunities for agreement, reduce conflict, and protect her clients from the emotional and financial toll of prolonged litigation — whenever that path is in their best interest.

Personalized, Responsive Representation

As a solo practitioner, Christine personally handles every aspect of your case. You won't be passed off to a paralegal or junior associate. You'll work directly with an experienced attorney who knows your situation, returns your calls, and is genuinely invested in your outcome.
