Mrs. Tillman is an excellent lawyer that gives sound legal advice that has helped keep me out precarious situations/exposure. She quickly responds to my emails or phone calls and has always been honest. I am fortunate to have her protecting my business.

Christina is the best attorney I've ever worked with in my 15 years working in HR.. I was so surprised at first at how responsive she was! She's able to answer any of the questions I have when I need it promptly and she truly understands the clients' needs. She's able to provide outstanding recommendations and guidance to the employers. I truly do not know what we would do without Christina on our side. Best attorney, hands down!

Besides being the ultimate professional, Christina Tillman is easy to talk to. She not only explains things, she makes sure that I completely understand and is beyond patient with the fury of questions I send her way. I trust Christina with my company. She keeps me updated on new & revised laws. She is definitely my GO TO person when I need clarification or education. She's an amazing lawyer and an awesome human being.

Hired Attorney David Emerzian

I believe every person should be very aware of everything involved with their case because no one cares more what the outcomes is than the person HOWEVER, David really made me rethink that since we started dealing with him and while I am not that easily impressed this young man is truly headed to be number one in every field!He is very knowledgeable, courteous, prompt and worth every penny paid to him. Hopefully we never need another attorney but if I do I will use David again for certain.

Hired Attorney Chloe A. Fernandes

Chloe is a very young Associate. New in her career and it shows. She lacks knowledge and tends to let her emotions taint a case. If I would have know she was like that, I would have requested another attorney. I was not pleased with her outcome in my situation.

Hired Attorney Matthew Fletcher

He is completely understand responsive most of the time, dropped the ball costing me legally on more than one occasion. Does not follow through on his commitments to clients. He accused clients of not paying the bill in an effort to get more money. He is very convincing until you actually hire him and he's expected to do something.
Please contact me if you have any questions, I'll be happy to provide documentation of all claims to help you not to suffer through the same thing I did.

Hired Law Firm

I originally contacted the Firm and talked to Ken Cochrane. He referred me to mr Fltecher. I met with Mr Fletcher once during my 11-12 month divorce proceedings. All following contact was primarily by assistants. I was not given any disomaster until around the 8 month. He was unaware of case details after 6 months and could not remember facts of the case. He never appeared in court for 2-3 hearings. His stated to me he was to busy. I paid him more than I paid x-wife.
