Christie was helping me with my divorce case in Dallas County. I contacted her last July, and by October my spouse and I had pretty much worked out our differences. She was on top of any developments and only contacted me when necessary as she understands what it's like to work and have a divorce cloud hanging over a marriage. For this I was definitely appreciative.

I give Christie Phan a outstanding review becasue she accepted my divorce case a a short notice. I've spoken with a lot of attorney's and Christie really gave me a warm and comfortable feeling while taling to her. It was a feeling that she geniunely care about my concerns. No divorce is easy, as no one gets married to get a divorce. With Christie by my side I feel i can walk through this thing with my head held high. Stay tuned for updated reveiw.

Christie was my attorney for my divorce in Denton County, TX. My divorce was a little complicated because we owned property outside of the US. Our son was 17 and in his senior year of high school.
Christie was great at reviewing all of our assets and debt and helping advise me the best way to divide up our estate. Christie also helped me with the best plan for my son too. The divorce was about 6 months and could have been very costly and much longer. With Christie's experience and honesty to me on what would work and wouldn't work, the divorce was quick, at a minimal cost and the division of assets and debt worked well for me. Isn't that the objective?
Thank you Christie, you are awesome and I would highly recommend you!
Thanks, Lynda :-)

I REALLY like this attorney. She took on a tough tangled up case against 2 paternal rights lawyers and used everything she had in her arsenal to fight. She’s really smart and handled my case carefully. She got a divorce while she went to law school so her profession is especially close to her heart. Unfortunately after two temporary hearing court cases and starting a new life just after the holidays from basically a stay at home mom of an 8yr old and 2 yr old and an infant I couldn’t keep up with the financial demands of her fees and supporting myself with two part time jobs. The debt I owe her will be more than the invoice I eventually will pay off and will be HAPPY to send her every dollar. I will recommend to anyone looking for someone to think outside the box of the law and have her fight for you. She’s calm , she’s confident, and she’s a no bullshitter.

Christie accepted my case on a short notice. She was totally understanding of my desires and needs in my divorce case. Although my husband and I were able to reconcile our differences and continue our marriage. Christie handle everything down to the Order Granting Nonsuit. If things were to turn for the worst in the future I wouldn't hesitate to pick up the phone to hire her again to represent me. I could tell that she was going to give the opposing attorney a run for her money. Thanks again Christie for all your support.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My hourly rate is $375 and I bill in 6-minute increments (or 0.10 hour). Many attorneys bill in 15-minute increments. Billing in the smaller increments saves you money on brief "touches" to your file, like brief phone calls or emails.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first step is to have a free intake session to share a few details regarding your situation with my assistant. After the intake process my assistant will schedule a consultation (with two of us). I will then set up a retainer fee based on the facts of your situation, and we discuss strategy, including what to expect. After the call, my assistant or I will send you a questionnaire and representation agreement that outlines what you should expect from me and what I expect from you in the attorney-client relationship.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I am a member of the College of the State Bar of Texas, an "honorary society of qualified lawyers who are interested in both high ethical standards and improved training for all Texas attorneys."
