I have had the pleasure of working with Christine a few times. A few times she was not my lawyer, but I was a witness in a huge trial case, that she won. A couple of years later I was faced with a theft charge. She knew that I didn't have much money and allowed me to pay when I could. The outcome of that case was just as she said it would be. This past June I was charged with a theft charge and with my previous theft charges 5 and 6 years prior, the county attorney was wanting me to do 90 days, 2 years probation, and a repeat offenders class. I have 5 children ages 2 to 13 years and 90 days was not something that I could personally do without hurting my children and husband. Christine kept reminding me that she was not going to allow me to do jail time and would take this to trial if needed. Thankfully, everything worked out. Christine is not a Monday thru Friday lawyer, she contacted me on a Saturday morning to go over my case and responded to me on a Sunday evening after I text her. Christine is a fighter and willing to fight for what is fair and not scared to go to trial. Thankfully, even though Christine was not able to go to my final court date, because she had a prior commitment and the judge refused to continue the hiring, I ended up not doing jail time, just like she said. Everyone in her firm is AMAZING. I would never walk into a courtroom without one of them representing me.
Prompt, attentive and willing to go beyond the scope of my expectations. She listened, and then with care proceeded to explain the possible outcomes - I am so thankful that I made this call. Highly recommended!!
Christine successfully negotiated a successful plea for my issue. She is very professional and has great experience
I hired Christine to handle a traffic ticket that i was issued that would've had a huge negative impact my CDL and livelihood. I was extremely satisfied with the professionalism and how easy it was to get ahold of her and others in the office. She is very knowledgable about the legal system and ultimately helped get my case dismissed. I had spoken to a couple other attorneys before I spoke with Christine and I knew within a couple minutes she was the right person for my case. It was my first time having legal trouble and she took the time to explain the process and what would happen along the way. She will be my first call if I ever find myself needing representation again.
Christine is an amazing lawyer. She always dives into her work and holds nothing back. A true fighter and an understanding person all in one package. Truly a unique individual. She has helped me with a number of issues and it has been my privilege to know this woman. The bottom line is this: You simply will not find a more capable, dedicated, intelligent, well-prepared, considerate or loyal attorney to represent you, than Christine Branstad.
My livelihood was on the line and Christine was quick to come to my rescue. She was reasonably priced and provided detailed and sufficient information to allow me to participate in my appeal hearing with great confidence.
She is amazing. She was very honest with me. She took care of my case in a very short time. Will definitely recommend her to anyone. She definitely will get the job done.
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.
When speaking with Ms. Brandstad for the first time, she portrayed rare qualities such as professionalism, honesty, kindness, patience and determination. When confronted with multiple questions, she took the time to provide an answer, as well as an explanation to her answers.
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 straightfoward in our dealings - the kind of assets you want in an attorney.
