"There is a Yiddish word which describes Christie perfectly.  The word is 'mensch.' A mensch is a good-hearted person who is there when one needs a friend....Christie is a top-notch attorney.  Every assignment she has completed for me was well researched, well written and squarely on point.  
She is my 'go-to' attorney when I need help with my cases."  - Andrew Sigal, Esq.

Practice Areas

---

Estate Planning

---

I assist couples, individuals, and families with intentional estate planning:
​home owners,
business owners, blended families, "non-traditional" families, and assisted reproductive technology issues (e.g. surrogacy and gamete donation). 

​I believe wholeheartedly that love makes a family.  I welcome clients from all backgrounds and all walks of life.

Creative Professionals

---

When assisting creative professionals, I look for cost effective solutions to help businesses run at their best.  
​I consider advising and educating  clients on legal issues to be one of the most important aspects of effective representation.  I believe in not only drafting a good contract, but also teaching why a solid contract is important and related best practices.

Law
​Firms

---

I am the lawyer that other lawyers hire.  I assist law firms with legal research and writing.  I fell in love with legal writing in my second year of law school and I’ve devoted a decade of my practice to crafting compelling and 
​persuasive legal writing.
