I reached out to Christina during a moment of extreme crisis after my ex-partner had filed for a specious restraining order against me, got denied, and still moved out of the state with our children without informing me. Christina was so incredibly helpful, responding to my worried and excessive questions with care, tact, and kindness. She helped me draft emails, prepare filings, and basically kept me from losing my entire mind during this awful period. I ended up getting my children back to California, and I don't know if any of that would have happened without Christina's guidance. If you're looking for someone who will invest time and energy in your case, and will always keep the best interests of your children front and center, Christina is far and away your best choice.

Christina is highly competent, extremely knowledgeable and really knows her way around the law. Always accessible, very understanding she was able to present options in a clear and succinct manner. She understood the urgency of our matter and always responded promptly and produced high quality work. Aside from her overall professionalism in her work, she was a real pleasure to get to know and was very personable. We never felt intimidated and had the utmost trust in her guidance and direction. We would highly recommend her and would use her services again!!

I would like to thank my wonderful attorney Christina Maranhao who was there for me and my family and walked us through the legal system. Christina was always available to answer any questions that we had, and she always got back to us in a very timely manner. It’s very comforting to know you have someone walking through a process with you that is so capable, and I was so grateful to have her on our side! I just can’t say enough about Christina and Moore Law firm, they were there for me and my family every step of the way! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Jan

I went through a divorce this year. Even though my now ex-wife and I decided to use a mediator, I wanted my own attorney to navigate me through the process and to ensure I was being represented fairly. I hired Christina upon the glowing recommendation from friends who had hired her to mediate their divorce. On the very first phone call, I relaxed knowing I had found the very best consultant possible. Christina is incredibly smart and knowledgeable and kept me 100% aware of my rights under California law as she guided me through the divorce process. She read through and explained all of my divorce paperwork and court documents up to the final agreement and court filing. I signed every single document knowing I was protected. Beyond that, Christina was kind, patient and very understanding that her clients are going through an emotionally difficult time. I could not imagine navigating the divorce process without her. I hope you never need a divorce attorney, but if you do, you couldn't be in better hands.

My divorce was a nightmare of complexity. I had trouble finding a lawyer with both the experience and willingness to take it on. After consulting with several attorneys I was referred to More Law For Children and Christina Maranhao. After the consultation I knew immediately I had the right firm to handle the divorce and child custody for my case. Christina and her team were professional and experienced in all of the matters I was concerned about. As time went on and unexpected things arose they were prepared at every step. Things took a while. I mention that because I initially worried things would get forgotten or fall through the cracks. This was not the case. Evey communication was as if we had just spoken about things. Christina really kept on top of things and made me feel as if I were her only client. Her strength is definitely perfect follow through and relentless attention to detail. I needed this to offset my tendency to put things off until the last minute. Life sucked during the quarantine and divorce, so thank goodness Christina had enough focus, resolve, and fortitude for all of us. I also thought billing was fair. My other experiences with attorneys have not been such, so it was a relief to have things come in at or below the estimate and have invoices outlining everything. I hope I never need Christina again, but for anyone in a tough divorce and child custody situation, it is a relief to have her in your corner.

This review is a LONG TIME COMING. Unfortunately, it's all too common to need a family law practitioner at some point in your life. I cannot recommend this office and these Christina ENOUGH. I had an extremely difficult case a few years ago and to this very day I'm still stunned about not only their professionalism but their tenacity, knowledge, compassion, strength and determination to fight for me and all of their clients. Christina was absolutely incredible. She was unbelievable! Mind you, my son's father is a millionaire. Not just on paper. Millions liquid. Compared to him I'm poverty stricken. Christina, in collaboration with Sahar Douraghy, were fair in fees and won my case against some heavy hitting attorneys that worked for my son's father! These women didn't even bat an eye! They not only won my case but fed the defense some of their "own." They made me feel like I was family and fought for me as if I WERE IN FACT family. I will NEVER go to any other attorney should I ever need help again. If you just give them an opportunity and go in for a consult, you will walk out feeling like everything for once, is going to be just fine. Thank you, ladies! You changed the lives of my son Ryan and myself in a way I never thought possible. Thank you for everything!!!

Christina went above and beyond my expectations for my divorce case! I didn’t expect such a great outcome! She was patient, knowledgeable and was very understanding! Christina answered all my questions, even when I asked her several times! Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Christina & Moore Law for Children. We had a complicated case and Christina was able to help us settle in a timely matter.

We contacted Christina because our minor-age daughter was in an unhealthy relationship with an adult teen, and we wanted to know what our rights were as a parents and - more importantly - find remedies. She was terrific, helping us craft a few options ranging from a gentle nudge for all involved to a prospective scorched-earth approach. Particularly because the latter was identified, the nudge was all it took. Problem solved. We appreciated that Christina not only gave us valuable advice about our options but also provided us a sounding board, not emotionally attached to the case, to help us calibrate our tone in communicating about the issue. Fortunately, we did not require more than a consultation, but if we did (or, if in the future we do), we would want her representation.

I couldn't afford to hire a lawyer, but I needed to get legal advice on a custody issue with my nephew and was referred to Christina Maranhao. I was at a total loss on what to do and just needed some information and guidance. Christina listened to my story, and looked over the case file, then walked me through what I needed to do. She even printed out the paperwork and showed me what needed to be filled out, and where I needed to go to file this. Later that evening I received an e-mail from her with all of the information I needed for the paperwork. After months of anxiety and stress over this situation, it only took one visit to put everything in place.

I ended up getting my children back to California, and I don't know if any of that would have happened without Christina's guidance. If you're looking for someone who will invest time and energy in your case, and will always keep the best interests of your children front and center, Christina is far and away your best choice.

Christina is highly competent, extremely knowledgeable and really knows her way around the law. Always accessible, very understanding she was able to present options in a clear and succinct manner. She understood the urgency of our matter and always responded promptly and produced high quality work. Aside from her overall professionalism in her work, she was a real pleasure to get to know and was very personable. We never felt intimidated and had the utmost trust in her guidance and direction. We would highly recommend her and would use her services again!!

I would like to thank my wonderful attorney Christina Maranhao who was there for me and my family and walked us through the legal system. Christina was always available to answer any questions that we had, and she always got back to us in a very timely manner. It’s very comforting to know you have someone walking through a process with you that is so capable, and I was so grateful to have her on our side! I just can’t say enough about Christina and Moore Law firm, they were there for me and my family every step of the way! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Jan

I went through a divorce this year. Even though my now ex-wife and I decided to use a mediator, I wanted my own attorney to navigate me through the process and to ensure I was being represented fairly. I hired Christina upon the glowing recommendation from friends who had hired her to mediate their divorce. On the very first phone call, I relaxed knowing I had found the very best consultant possible. Christina is incredibly smart and knowledgeable and kept me 100% aware of my rights under California law as she guided me through the divorce process. She read through and explained all of my divorce paperwork and court documents up to the final agreement and court filing. I signed every single document knowing I was protected. Beyond that, Christina was kind, patient and very understanding that her clients are going through an emotionally difficult time. I could not imagine navigating the divorce process without her. I hope you never need a divorce attorney, but if you do, you couldn't be in better hands.

My divorce was a nightmare of complexity. I had trouble finding a lawyer with both the experience and willingness to take it on. After consulting with several attorneys I was referred to More Law For Children and Christina Maranhao. After the consultation I knew immediately I had the right firm to handle the divorce and child custody for my case. Christina and her team were professional and experienced in all of the matters I was concerned about. As time went on and unexpected things arose they were prepared at every step. Things took a while. I mention that because I initially worried things would get forgotten or fall through the cracks. This was not the case. Evey communication was as if we had just spoken about things. Christina really kept on top of things and made me feel as if I were her only client. Her strength is definitely perfect follow through and relentless attention to detail. I needed this to offset my tendency to put things off until the last minute. Life sucked during the quarantine and divorce, so thank goodness Christina had enough focus, resolve, and fortitude for all of us. I also thought billing was fair. My other experiences with attorneys have not been such, so it was a relief to have things come in at or below the estimate and have invoices outlining everything. I hope I never need Christina again, but for anyone in a tough divorce and child custody situation, it is a relief to have her in your corner.

This review is a LONG TIME COMING. Unfortunately, it's all too common to need a family law practitioner at some point in your life. I cannot recommend this office and these Christina ENOUGH. I had an extremely difficult case a few years ago and to this very day I'm still stunned about not only their professionalism but their tenacity, knowledge, compassion, strength and determination to fight for me and all of their clients. Christina was absolutely incredible. She was unbelievable! Mind you, my son's father is a millionaire. Not just on paper. Millions liquid. Compared to him I'm poverty stricken. Christina, in collaboration with Sahar Douraghy, were fair in fees and won my case against some heavy hitting attorneys that worked for my son's father! These women didn't even bat an eye! They not only won my case but fed the defense some of their "own." They made me feel like I was family and fought for me as if I WERE IN FACT family. I will NEVER go to any other attorney should I ever need help again. If you just give them an opportunity and go in for a consult, you will walk out feeling like everything for once, is going to be just fine. Thank you, ladies! You changed the lives of my son Ryan and myself in a way I never thought possible. Thank you for everything!!!

Christina went above and beyond my expectations for my divorce case! I didn’t expect such a great outcome! She was patient, knowledgeable and was very understanding! Christina answered all my questions, even when I asked her several times! Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Christina & Moore Law for Children. We had a complicated case and Christina was able to help us settle in a timely matter.

We contacted Christina because our minor-age daughter was in an unhealthy relationship with an adult teen, and we wanted to know what our rights were as a parents and - more importantly - find remedies. She was terrific, helping us craft a few options ranging from a gentle nudge for all involved to a prospective scorched-earth approach. Particularly because the latter was identified, the nudge was all it took. Problem solved. We appreciated that Christina not only gave us valuable advice about our options but also provided us a sounding board, not emotionally attached to the case, to help us calibrate our tone in communicating about the issue. Fortunately, we did not require more than a consultation, but if we did (or, if in the future we do), we would want her representation.

I couldn't afford to hire a lawyer, but I needed to get legal advice on a custody issue with my nephew and was referred to Christina Maranhao. I was at a total loss on what to do and just needed some information and guidance. Christina listened to my story, and looked over the case file, then walked me through what I needed to do. She even printed out the paperwork and showed me what needed to be filled out, and where I needed to go to file this. Later that evening I received an e-mail from her with all of the information I needed for the paperwork. After months of anxiety and stress over this situation, it only took one visit to put everything in place.

I reached out to Christina during a moment of extreme crisis after my ex-partner had filed for a specious restraining order against me, got denied, and still moved out of the state with our children without informing me.

If you're looking for someone who will invest time and energy in your case, and will always keep the best interests of your children front and center, Christina is far and away your best choice.

Christina is highly competent, extremely knowledgeable and really knows her way around the law. Always accessible, very understanding she was able to present options in a clear and succinct manner. She understood the urgency of our matter and always responded promptly and produced high quality work. Aside from her overall professionalism in her work, she was a real pleasure to get to know and was very personable. We never felt intimidated and had the utmost trust in her guidance and direction. We would highly recommend her and would use her services again!!

I would like to thank my wonderful attorney Christina Maranhao who was there for me and my family and walked us through the legal system. Christina was always available to answer any questions that we had, and she always got back to us in a very timely manner. It’s very comforting to know you have someone walking through a process with you that is so capable, and I was so grateful to have her on our side! I just can’t say enough about Christina and Moore Law firm, they were there for me and my family every step of the way! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Jan

I went through a divorce this year. Even though my now ex-wife and I decided to use a mediator, I wanted my own attorney to navigate me through the process and to ensure I was being represented fairly. I hired Christina upon the glowing recommendation from friends who had hired her to mediate their divorce. On the very first phone call, I relaxed knowing I had found the very best consultant possible. Christina is incredibly smart and knowledgeable and kept me 100% aware of my rights under California law as she guided me through the divorce process. She read through and explained all of my divorce paperwork and court documents up to the final agreement and court filing. I signed every single document knowing I was protected. Beyond that, Christina was kind, patient and very understanding that her clients are going through an emotionally difficult time. I could not imagine navigating the divorce process without her. I hope you never need a divorce attorney, but if you do, you couldn't be in better hands.

My divorce was a nightmare of complexity. I had trouble finding a lawyer with both the experience and willingness to take it on. After consulting with several attorneys I was referred to More Law For Children and Christina Maranhao. After the consultation I knew immediately I had the right firm to handle the divorce and child custody for my case. Christina and her team were professional and experienced in all of the matters I was concerned about. As time went on and unexpected things arose they were prepared at every step. Things took a while. I mention that because I initially worried things would get forgotten or fall through the cracks. This was not the case. Evey communication was as if we had just spoken about things. Christina really kept on top of things and made me feel as if I were her only client. Her strength is definitely perfect follow through and relentless attention to detail. I needed this to offset my tendency to put things off until the last minute. Life sucked during the quarantine and divorce, so thank goodness Christina had enough focus, resolve, and fortitude for all of us. I also thought billing was fair. My other experiences with attorneys have not been such, so it was a relief to have things come in at or below the estimate and have invoices outlining everything. I hope I never need Christina again, but for anyone in a tough divorce and child custody situation, it is a relief to have her in your corner.

This review is a LONG TIME COMING. Unfortunately, it's all too common to need a family law practitioner at some point in your life. I cannot recommend this office and these Christina ENOUGH. I had an extremely difficult case a few years ago and to this very day I'm still stunned about not only their professionalism but their tenacity, knowledge, compassion, strength and determination to fight for me and all of their clients. Christina was absolutely incredible. She was unbelievable! Mind you, my son's father is a millionaire. Not just on paper. Millions liquid. Compared to him I'm poverty stricken. Christina, in collaboration with Sahar Douraghy, were fair in fees and won my case against some heavy hitting attorneys that worked for my son's father! These women didn't even bat an eye! They not only won my case but fed the defense some of their "own." They made me feel like I was family and fought for me as if I WERE IN FACT family. I will NEVER go to any other attorney should I ever need help again. If you just give them an opportunity and go in for a consult, you will walk out feeling like everything for once, is going to be just fine. Thank you, ladies! You changed the lives of my son Ryan and myself in a way I never thought possible. Thank you for everything!!!

Christina went above and beyond my expectations for my divorce case! I didn’t expect such a great outcome! She was patient, knowledgeable and was very understanding! Christina answered all my questions, even when I asked her several times! Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Christina & Moore Law for Children. We had a complicated case and Christina was able to help us settle in a timely matter.

We contacted Christina because our minor-age daughter was in an unhealthy relationship with an adult teen, and we wanted to know what our rights were as a parents and - more importantly - find remedies. She was terrific, helping us craft a few options ranging from a gentle nudge for all involved to a prospective scorched-earth approach. Particularly because the latter was identified, the nudge was all it took. Problem solved. We appreciated that Christina not only gave us valuable advice about our options but also provided us a sounding board, not emotionally attached to the case, to help us calibrate our tone in communicating about the issue. Fortunately, we did not require more than a consultation, but if we did (or, if in the future we do), we would want her representation.

I couldn't afford to hire a lawyer, but I needed to get legal advice on a custody issue with my nephew and was referred to Christina Maranhao. I was at a total loss on what to do and just needed some information and guidance. Christina listened to my story, and looked over the case file, then walked me through what I needed to do. She even printed out the paperwork and showed me what needed to be filled out, and where I needed to go to file this. Later that evening I received an e-mail from her with all of the information I needed for the paperwork. After months of anxiety and stress over this situation, it only took one visit to put everything in place.

I reached out to Christina during a moment of extreme crisis after my ex-partner had filed for a specious restraining order against me, got denied, and still moved out of the state with our children without informing me. Christina was so incredibly helpful, responding to my worried and excessive questions with care, tact, and kindness. She helped me draft emails, prepare filings, and basically kept me from losing my entire mind during this awful period. I ended up getting my children back to California, and I don't know if any of that would have happened without Christina's guidance.

Christina is highly competent, extremely knowledgeable and really knows her way around the law. Always accessible, very understanding she was able to present options in a clear and succinct manner. She understood the urgency of our matter and always responded promptly and produced high quality work. Aside from her overall professionalism in her work, she was a real pleasure to get to know and was very personable. We never felt intimidated and had the utmost trust in her guidance and direction. We would highly recommend her and would use her services again!!

I would like to thank my wonderful attorney Christina Maranhao who was there for me and my family and walked us through the legal system. Christina was always available to answer any questions that we had, and she always got back to us in a very timely manner. It’s very comforting to know you have someone walking through a process with you that is so capable, and I was so grateful to have her on our side! I just can’t say enough about Christina and Moore Law firm, they were there for me and my family every step of the way! Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Jan

I went through a divorce this year. Even though my now ex-wife and I decided to use a mediator, I wanted my own attorney to navigate me through the process and to ensure I was being represented fairly. I hired Christina upon the glowing recommendation from friends who had hired her to mediate their divorce. On the very first phone call, I relaxed knowing I had found the very best consultant possible. Christina is incredibly smart and knowledgeable and kept me 100% aware of my rights under California law as she guided me through the divorce process. She read through and explained all of my divorce paperwork and court documents up to the final agreement and court filing. I signed every single document knowing I was protected. Beyond that, Christina was kind, patient and very understanding that her clients are going through an emotionally difficult time. I could not imagine navigating the divorce process without her. I hope you never need a divorce attorney, but if you do, you couldn't be in better hands.

My divorce was a nightmare of complexity. I had trouble finding a lawyer with both the experience and willingness to take it on. After consulting with several attorneys I was referred to More Law For Children and Christina Maranhao. After the consultation I knew immediately I had the right firm to handle the divorce and child custody for my case. Christina and her team were professional and experienced in all of the matters I was concerned about. As time went on and unexpected things arose they were prepared at every step. Things took a while. I mention that because I initially worried things would get forgotten or fall through the cracks. This was not the case. Evey communication was as if we had just spoken about things. Christina really kept on top of things and made me feel as if I were her only client. Her strength is definitely perfect follow through and relentless attention to detail. I needed this to offset my tendency to put things off until the last minute. Life sucked during the quarantine and divorce, so thank goodness Christina had enough focus, resolve, and fortitude for all of us. I also thought billing was fair. My other experiences with attorneys have not been such, so it was a relief to have things come in at or below the estimate and have invoices outlining everything. I hope I never need Christina again, but for anyone in a tough divorce and child custody situation, it is a relief to have her in your corner.

This review is a LONG TIME COMING. Unfortunately, it's all too common to need a family law practitioner at some point in your life. I cannot recommend this office and these Christina ENOUGH. I had an extremely difficult case a few years ago and to this very day I'm still stunned about not only their professionalism but their tenacity, knowledge, compassion, strength and determination to fight for me and all of their clients. Christina was absolutely incredible. She was unbelievable! Mind you, my son's father is a millionaire. Not just on paper. Millions liquid. Compared to him I'm poverty stricken. Christina, in collaboration with Sahar Douraghy, were fair in fees and won my case against some heavy hitting attorneys that worked for my son's father! These women didn't even bat an eye! They not only won my case but fed the defense some of their "own." They made me feel like I was family and fought for me as if I WERE IN FACT family. I will NEVER go to any other attorney should I ever need help again. If you just give them an opportunity and go in for a consult, you will walk out feeling like everything for once, is going to be just fine. Thank you, ladies! You changed the lives of my son Ryan and myself in a way I never thought possible. Thank you for everything!!!

Christina went above and beyond my expectations for my divorce case! I didn’t expect such a great outcome! She was patient, knowledgeable and was very understanding! Christina answered all my questions, even when I asked her several times! Highly recommended!

I highly recommend Christina & Moore Law for Children. We had a complicated case and Christina was able to help us settle in a timely matter.

We contacted Christina because our minor-age daughter was in an unhealthy relationship with an adult teen, and we wanted to know what our rights were as a parents and - more importantly - find remedies. She was terrific, helping us craft a few options ranging from a gentle nudge for all involved to a prospective scorched-earth approach. Particularly because the latter was identified, the nudge was all it took. Problem solved. We appreciated that Christina not only gave us valuable advice about our options but also provided us a sounding board, not emotionally attached to the case, to help us calibrate our tone in communicating about the issue. Fortunately, we did not require more than a consultation, but if we did (or, if in the future we do), we would want her representation.

I couldn't afford to hire a lawyer, but I needed to get legal advice on a custody issue with my nephew and was referred to Christina Maranhao. I was at a total loss on what to do and just needed some information and guidance. Christina listened to my story, and looked over the case file, then walked me through what I needed to do. She even printed out the paperwork and showed me what needed to be filled out, and where I needed to go to file this. Later that evening I received an e-mail from her with all of the information I needed for the paperwork. After months of anxiety and stress over this situation, it only took one visit to put everything in place.

I reached out to Christina during a moment of extreme crisis after my ex-partner had filed for a specious restraining order against me, got denied, and still moved out of the state with our children without informing me. Christina was so incredibly helpful, responding to my worried and excessive questions with care, tact, and kindness. She helped me draft emails, prepare filings, and basically kept me from losing my entire mind during this awful period. I ended up getting my children back to California, and I don't know if any of that would have happened without Christina's guidance. If you're looking for someone who will invest time and energy in your case, and will always keep the best interests of your children front and center, Christina is far and away your best choice.
