About

After growing up in Oregon, I moved to the East Coast where I attended the University of Virginia and graduated with a cum laude distinction.   After college, I spent six month in South America and had an internship with Habitat For Humanity in La Paz, Bolivia.  Upon returning home, I graduated from University of Richmond School of Law with cum laude distinction.  Upon moving to Washington in 2008, I had an internship with the Pierce County Prosecutor’s Office and worked in the felony drug division.  In 2009 I began working for the Benton County Prosecutor’s Office in Kennewick where I handled adult felony cases.  I have argued before the Court of Appeal and have handled hundreds of cases in District and Superior Court.  Now I have offices in Washington and Oregon and look forward to helping you at this important time in your life.

I had a frivolous charge against me, by a coworker who was notorious for assaulting peers. On the verge of being fired from his job for frequent assaults, and in an effort to save his job, the coworker filed 'unwanted touching' charge against me, as I pushed him away during an assault. The Richland police were unhelpful, unwilling to accept facts, or even call our boss or other coworkers who would confirm the situation. The prosecutor was unwilling to investigate. Christine was very helpful. I appreciate her legal knowledge, skill in the courtroom, and her excellent communication ability. This charge has now been dropped, due to Ms Bennett's efforts. Many thanks!

Christine is awesome at her job! She understood and listened to every little detail in my case. She explained to me throughly everything that went on during the case. Overall an amazing lawyer and I would recommend her to anybody who is in trouble with the law!

I have a great deal of respect for Ms. Bennett and how intuitive it was to work with her. Working with Ms. Bennett made my first experience with the law pleasant. Ms. Bennett showed the confidence and persistence it takes to be the best attorney. I felt at ease explaining the most difficult day for myself because I knew she was going to try her best to hear me and help me. When the court suggested fines and jail time, Ms. Bennett suggested alcohol treatment and therapy. 4 counts against me turned into a case dismissed, 8 months sober, and a whole new perspective on myself and my own career.

Christine is a great attorney. One that really listens to you, and simply put, does what she says she'll do. One of the hardest working attorneys that I've come across. I've had 4 speeding/traffic related citations, and have hired an attorney for each citation. Christine's rates are excellent and I don't think you'll find another attorney that will fight for your case like she does. My citation was dismissed. All my other citations were in different states, but if I could I would have flown Christine Bennett out to represent me. I've hired Christine for another matter as well. It required discrete investigation, and she did just that. Whether you need representation for a traffic related citation or need a criminal defense, you'll be in good hands with Christine Bennett as your attorney!

I reached out to Christine to help with a very complicated traffic matter. I live outside of the state so I expected resolving this in a timely and effective manner would be difficult, but Christine quickly eased my concern. Christine took the time to understand the case and worked a lot with the prosecutor, which led to a very favorable outcome for me! She communicated the activity each step of the way, which I really appreciated - especially being out of state.

Christine has been awesome to represent me in a remote city, she is generous enough to take me on as a client. After several months, she has successfully got me out of various citations that officer has very aggressively written with no reason. I have clean record for a decade and she helped me retain that with this case.

Working with Christine was great. She was aware that I had never been involved with the law and feared the whole court system. With her calm demeanor she calmed my nervous jitters several times.Not only did she get the case dismissed but I did not have to appear in court one single time! Carry her name and number nearby should you ever need a great attorney! Thank you Christine!

I was given multiple citations after receiving an inspection at a weigh station. Christine got them all dismissed. Hire her and let her go to work.
