Biography Submit listing

Christine has loved the law since a rather young age. Her career, though varied, has one theme: helping others, especially victims of crime. Christine opened her law practice and chose to exclusively handle US immigration law for two reasons. First: her own experience with the US immigration system because she and her husband adopted their daughter. During that long process, she lived through – and survived! – the very same immigration system her clients do today. Several parallels can be drawn between her family and her clients’ families. Like so many of her clients, she brought her child to the US for the opportunities it can provide that her daughter’s home country could never provide. Second: Christine grows increasingly vexed that many cannot experience the same freedom of movement she has. She is motivated by her clients’ aspirations for a better, safer, and freer life so she uses her expertise and legal skills to help them improve their lives.
