Christina Holman presented herself very professionally as a skilled attorney of high integrity. Even though our conversation did not result in her taking on my case, Christina listened actively, with ample empathy, and provided me with much clarity in her guidance for me to go forward. I certainly will keep Christina's name in mind for future references and referrals.
