About

I am an Estate Planning Attorney with a broad practice background and have most recently been recognized as a Missouri & Kansas Rising Star for 2015, an award reserved for the top 2.5% of attorneys in Missouri and Kansas under the age of 40. I am committed to helping clients understand that the foundation of estate planning is not just about saving dollars, but also appreciating the value of planning for loved ones and leaving a legacy for years to come. I strive to help families fund their Estate Plans and protect from the unnecessary delays and burdens of probate. I am licensed to practice in both Kansas and Missouri, I pride myself on staying atop local, state and federal laws to ensure families are always covered with their respective Estate Plans.A lifelong resident of Kansas City, I earned my Juris Doctor degree from the University of Missouri- Kansas City School of Law and my undergraduate degree from the University of Arizona. I am a member of the Kansas City Metropolitan Bar Association, Association of Women Lawyers, as well as the individual Kansas and Missouri Bar Associations.Prior to joining the firm, I represented individuals in family law and personal injury cases at the firm of Mullins & Baylard. I also completed a judicial clerkship for the Honorable John Torrence in the Circuit Court of Jackson County, Missouri.  While with Judge Torrence, I was exposed to all aspects of litigation, including civil, criminal, and domestic.  During law school, I was very active in various moot court competitions for both trial advocacy and appellate advocacy. I also spent the last two years of law school enrolled in the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Law Child and Family Services Clinic. Where, as a Rule 13 certified attorney, I represented those without financial stability in their family law cases and served as a Guardian Ad Litem representing the interests of children.I am married with a young daughter and son. In my spare time, I relish time spent with my family, working out, and eating which results in more running.

I hired Christina for my family's estate planning needs. She was very thorough making sure all our questions and concerns were addressed. She was honest and told us exactly what she thought we should do to protect our children and our assets.

My wife and I both had trusts and wills etc. We thought it was all done. We went to one of Christina's Dinner Lectures and found out we were so outdated. We signed up to have her look at our trusts that night along with another couple we knew. Two weeks later we met with her and went over everything and we were up to date. She did a great job and created different things we never heard of for our grandchildren. Thank you very much Christina. We understand you met with a couple we sent you last week. We are sure you will do a great job for them as well. Thanks

I've known Christina for over 25 years. We were fortunate enough to hire her away from another firm about a year and a half ago, and she has been an incredibly valuable addition to our team. She also has a remarkable knack working with our clients with young children.
