Christine was extremely helpful and knowledgeable which kept my stress level down during my divorce. Considering Ive never met her and live four states away, I felt very comfortable with her and trusted her to guide me through the process in Minnesota. She kept in constant contact with me and her communications were informational and helpful. She was always available for a phone call if I had questions and I felt like I truly had an advocate for my interests in the divorce. While I hate that I had to go through this, Im very happy that I found Christine and had her representation throughout the entire proceeding. I would highly recommend her.

Christine was patient and kind. She both literally and figuratively held my hand through what became one of the most harrowing situations in my life. Every minute she knew exactly what to do, and she was ALWAYS right. Her expertise and general care and understanding of my situation was beyond the typical lawyer's job. Even post divorce, she continues to be a guide as the kids and I move into this new lifestyle.

Words cannot even express the gratitude that I feel for Christine and what she has done for my family. My ex-wife moved out of state and wanted to take our children and wanted sole custody. After getting a biased custody evaluation through Hennepin county that sided with my ex, Christine helped me fight this injustice. She was incredibly strategic and was able to guide me through this stressful process with grace. I always knew I could trust her to know the law and respond accordingly. She cuts through the emotions and focuses on the law (unlike my ex's lawyer who wanted to drag this out for a paycheck). Don't get me wrong, this was a very expensive process but Christine was always fair in her charges. I am happy to say that the custody evaluation WAS seen as flawed and my children stayed with me in Minnesota. I cannot recommend her enough to fight for your rights as a parent, while making sure to take the high road and help you to stay calm in one of the most stressful situations you can go through in life!

Christine helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. Her knowledge and experience provided the wisdom to bring the situation to a proper resolution. Christine is firm and fair when dealing with other attorneys and kind and compassionate with her clients. An ideal combination. Christine has earned the highest marks I am able to provide. I expect she will be able to do the same for you. Thank you for your time.

I would highly recommend Christine for divorce. She isn't an attorney looking to gauge your pocket book and suck you dry. She is extremely fair and bills accordingly. She is also willing to execute your strategy. She works for you and doesn't make you feel like you work for her. I've dealt with many different types of attorneys and she has been by far someone who actually cares about you. She is fair in all all respects. Communication is also very good and responds very quickly. This is important because when your going through a divorce it feels like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. She is there to answer all your questions and put you at ease. Word of advice to all couples going through a divorce. Take your ego out of it and listen to your attorney. Your going to have compromise with your ex partner during a divorce to get it finalized. Its something you both probably didn't do enough of during your marriage that brought you to this point. Swallow your pride and move on. My divorce was finalized in 3 weeks with a child involved thanks to Christine.

Christine is an amazing attorney. The care, dedication and professionalism she showed during my dissolution was incredible. She was reliable, patient and communicated each step of the process. She definitely was a calm during the storm. I have recommended her to numerous friends and will not hesitate to recommend her services to anybody who needs them in the future! Thank you Christine!!

Christine was reliable, trustworthy and informative while I was going through the most difficult time in my life. She explained each step of the process thoroughly and was willing to go over things as often as I needed her to so that I understood. She was responsive, thorough, and sensitive. I felt that I was given the time, expertise, and guidance that was needed. I have recommended her to friends and colleagues and will continue to do so!

Christine is an exceptional attorney, a true counselor in every sense of the word. She guided me through my long and very difficult divorce with professionalism, compassion and extremely high ethical standards. I read through the previous reviews, and I know everyones journey is different, getting divorced is never an enjoyable experience. However, based on my interactions with Christine, I find it difficult to believe that any of her clients would not have been treated with the same level of excellent care that I consistently received. I have recommended Christine as a family attorney several times and will continue to do so in the future.

Christine handled my divorce with utmost professionalism and genuine care and concern. I trusted her implicitly throughout, and mine was a complicated affair with an out of state pre-nup. I stood to lose a great deal, but Christine assured me things would get settled fairly and justly. She was right. I recommend Christine without hesitation or qualification (despite her inclination towards being a Bears fan).

Christine made what could have been a very difficult and stressful situation into one that was incredibly pleasant and beneficial for all parties involved.

Divorce is awful but Christine made an extremely difficult process bearable. I knew I could trust her to take care of every legal detail so that I could focus on self healing. and moving forward. Christine is extremely knowledgeable and can be tough when she needs to be. I would recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone in need of a family law attorney.

Christine was awesome to work with. She sat down on several different times with my ex and I because he didn't want to hire a lawyer. Each time she listened to what he had to say. Many times he would revert to verbally attacking me and she would always cut him off and get back to the issue at hand. After these meetings, when he was gone, she always spent time with me about what the next steps were going to be. I would and have recommended Christine to friends and family.

I was extremely disappointed with the services I received during my divorce process. We were not successful with the Early Neutral process and decided to try other avenues. Ms Callahan then reached out to me to see if I had copies of the documents that were worked on in the Early Neutral. She had not followed up and received these documents even though they were promised would be shared with our legal counsel. When she did reach out to get these, we were told we could not obtain them as they were confidential documents. After much persistence, we were able to obtain some of the documents that had been worked on but never received all of them. After deciding to pursue other legal counsel, Ms Callahan sent my new attorney and I a link to ALL of her employee files and ALL of her computer files in addition to my records. I found this extremely concerning and asked if all of her clients would be notified of the breach of confidential information. She spoke with the Minnesota Attorney Ethics Board and the Malpractice Attorney Advisors and was advised that she did not have to alert her clients of this breach.

Christine did an amazing job handing my marriage dissolution. She was extremely thorough and empathetic, and very insightful. I highly recommend her for your legal needs- thank you for hoping in this difficult time!

Christine and I immediately connected when we met, which was critical as I was very skittish about the entire process. Even though there was a lot of unreasonableness -- occasionally it was even me -- she empathized while at the same time kept us all focused on keeping the process moving forward at all times. She was all about helping me versus aggressive billing practices. She went the extra mile by keeping me informed if she was going to be unavailable for any reason. I truly felt she always had my best interests at heart. This was confirmed by her parting note to me: 'You have such a wonderful life waiting for you to embrace it!' Thank you Christine.

As an attorney practicing family law for over 23 years, I have worked with many attorneys. I recently had a very difficult custody matter with Christine, and I immediately became aware of not only her knowledge of the law and her ability to zealously represent her client's interests, but also her humane and individualized approach. Christine has become my first choice when I need to refer a case to another family law attorney, and, without hesitation, I recommend her for your family law or mediation needs.
