    "Highly Recommend"
    I cannot speak highly enough of Christine and her team. From the very beginning, Christine handled everything with grace, professionalism, and a deeply human approach. She is real, approachable, and always makes herself available, even during the most stressful times. Her ability to navigate complex situations while making you feel heard and supported is truly unmatched. Her staff are also top tier—responsive, compassionate, and incredibly efficient. If you’re looking for someone who not only knows the law but genuinely cares about her clients, Christine is the one you want in your corner.

    "I'm so lucky I chose Christine"
    This was my first experience needing a criminal lawyer, and I'm so lucky I chose Christine. She was able to calm my anxiety from the first phone call, and the results she achieved with her "magic" were outstanding. Thank you, Christine!

    "SIX STARS****"

    SIX STARS****

    I was in pursuit of legal advice and services and had NO knowledge of where to start. Just like another reviewer mentioned, Christine Branstad was my saving grace. She went above and beyond her expertise and used human compassion to help and guide me along the way. She is an excellent professional and I highly recommend not only her services, but her characteristics of how she handled the situation.

    "My case was dismissed!"
    Christine helped me out when I was falsely accused by my husband's ex wife. She told me exactly what was going to happen and how long it was going to take. She fought very hard for me. My case was dismissed and my DHS case was overturned also. I had never been through anything like this before and she made me feel like I was in very capable hands. I would highly recommend Christine to anyone.

    "I found her to be one of the top criminal lawyers in the state."
    I hired Christine during after an exhausting search of attorneys at law to handle my case. I found her to be one of the top criminal lawyers in the state. After a brief consultation concerning the merits of my case, she assured me that the charges against me could be dismissed. She has been informative, accessible, and straightforward in our dealings - the kind of assets you want in an attorney.

    "Amazing Lawyer, highly recommend."
    Amazing Lawyer, highly recommend. Nate Olson was the one to represent me more on Christine's behalf and I only had one appearance with Christine but I also rank her at 5 stars as well. I am highly satisfied with the consult of both attorneys and they both helped me win my case and I couldn't be forever more grateful and tremendously thankful i am for their hard work and great professionalism in helping me succeed in landing a great deal on my charge. Thank you again to the both of you :)

    "Christine and the staff at her law firm are spectacular"
    Christine and the staff at her law firm are spectacular. I have never felt so secure before while my future hung in the balance. Anytime a person is involved in a case or accused of a crime it always feels like everything in life is hanging by a string and every court date is possibly the time they cut the cord and you lose everything. It's a hopeless feeling. This time with Christine it didn't feel like that at all. I felt secure and covered . Like they had my back and it would all be OK, and it was. it is. They always answered my calls. Even when I sounded crazy and stressed. I was never left to endure through my duress. I can't sing the praise loud enough. If you even think you may need someone on your side in a legal matter call here and release the fears of going the battle alone.

    "You will not find a more competent and approachable person to have lead you through the legal process, no matter the situation, than Christine and her office."

    I was referred to Christine after a severe accident found me looking at serious charges that did not make sense. At our first meeting the thing that struck me the most and made my decision to have her represent me was the quiet confidence that she projected when we talked about the whole scenario. She was very upfront and very direct in her questions of what had happened. There was no arrogance or war stories about past cases. That confidence alone gave me more comfort over the next year as we worked through the court system and is what I believe led to the judge's decision. Christine's demeanor and intelligence alone would make her a good attorney but it is the coupling of her composure and knowledge of the law that make her a great attorney and a great friend years later. You will not find a more competent and approachable person to have lead you through the legal process, no matter the situation, than Christine and her office. I have used them exclusively since my accident and it is evident from being in multiple courtrooms and meeting rooms through the years that the entire legal community shows incredible respect and admiration for Christine and the ethics that she exhibits daily.
