About
All of my life experiences prepared me to be a lawyer and help people. I grew up in a family with an extremely high work ethic, which led to my own personal conviction to strive for excellence in all I do. In high school, I volunteered at a nursing home, where the values I already knew from my family and faith, those of having a deep sense of care and compassion for people, was reinforced. In college, I continued volunteer work in mental health centers as I pursued my major in Psychology. It was at the mental health centers that I gained an understanding and empathy for those who suffer from mental health and addictions issues, as well as the impact it has on the entire family. Also in college, I served as President of our Senior Class and Vice-President of our Junior Class, which helped develop confidence and leadership skills that make a difference in the type of attorney that I am today. Serving as a Resident Assistant in the dorms also helped strengthen my leadership abilities and my abilities to be responsible for many things at once. Surprisingly, and having no idea of what the future would hold, the experiences that probably most prepared me for the courtroom was serving in lead roles in two college theatrical productions and one college musical production. In addition, writing several articles that were published in the College Literary Arts Magazine allowed me to learn and utilize writing skills that would also help me to be the best attorney that I could be. After college, I worked in a community mental health center, first in an addictions recovery program, and then doing initial assessments of patients in the intake unit. There, I learned the skills of questioning, listening, assessing, demonstrating empathy, and problem-solving, all helpful skills to have as a lawyer. Additionally, my core belief in the worth and value of every person was reinforced, as was my belief in showing compassion to hurting people. Although many of my experiences demonstrate the number one reason I do what I do, which is to HELP people, these experiences in and of themselves are not the only things that formed me into the lawyer that I am. It is true that I have a compassionate heart, but I also have the intellect and the relational abilities that combine and complement one another. I have been blessed with a work ethic wherein I strive for excellence in all I do. Additionally, I have been blessed with the intellectual ability that helps me serve others, graduating magna cum laude and scoring in the top 4% in the country on the Law School Admission Test. Before going into private practice, I worked in a local small firm, and then for 8 years as the Attorney for the Elkhart County Department of Child Services. The experiences and knowledge that I took from that job alone could fill a book! Suffice it to say that the experience of working in the area of child abuse and neglect was yet another life experience that had a huge impact on me and the type of lawyer I am today. Now in private practice, I have been blessed to work with the most awesome “team” of attorneys, paralegals, and support staff, who share my belief in the value of people and in the belief that our purpose is to help those who need our help with their legal matters. That is why we are here, and that is why we do what we do. Together, we have strength and synergy to help people in a way that none of us could do alone.

Christine was able to guide me through an extremely difficult period in my life and with her expertise and compassion we were able to finalize my divorce. She and Chelsea took the time to explain what was going on and kept open the lines of communication. If I ever need the services of an attorney I will not hesitate to call her.
I hired Christine after interviewing a few other attorneys to represent me in my divorce. She was very professional but yet caring and fought hard for me. She always had my best interest and got me a fair settlement. I would highly recommend Christine to anyone looking for representation especially in a divorce.
Christine and her staff are amazing!! Would recommend over and over again. We went through an adoption process and chose Christine Makewski to represent us and she did with absolute confidence and excellence. Not only did she represent us as our lawyer she treated us like actual people and not just a job. I’m very thankful to have found her. Thank you Christine for everything.
Christine and her office handled our adoption. The staff was extremely friendly as they fielded my 1000 questions. They also kept us up-to-date on the process. Christine was willing to take a conference when needed to discuss some of the negotiations with the state. She also continue to advocate for us in order to get our adoption done by the date we were looking for. Really a super place and you can’t find many who care like that anymore. Christine has a in-depth knowledge of the system. You are in good hands with law office
Christine and her staff were prompt and thorough in addressing my concerns and questions during my case. My legal need exceeded a two year period and feel their office always had my best interest, as their client, at heart.
Let's admit there is a lot of different attorneys out there and to pick the right one to help in one of your most difficult times seems to be an impossible task. I was very blessed to have found that diamond in the ruff. Christine Majewski and staff where amazing. I personally would like to state Jade and Maria attorney along with Christine Majewski attorney went above and beyond my expectations of an attorneys office. They are highly educated, motivated and compassionate group. I can not talk highly enough about this team of professionals. They were very understanding and caring in time of my turmoil. To me they where not there to just take my money, they really wanted to listen to me as an individual not just a another case. I felt as if I finally had a voice, someone to go to batt with me someone in my corner during what seemed to be a stacked deck against me. Thank you again for all you have done. Attorney Christine Majewski Maria and Jade.
My husband and I have consulted with Christine three different times since 2011. We hired her to domesticate adoptions of three of our children who were born overseas. It was a painless and easy process with Christine. We are currently clients and Christine was/is our only choice in attorney representation given her kindness, honesty, integrity and expertise on DCS law and policy. She truly cares about everyone involved and strives to work together for what is best for everyone. We always know what is going on and receive answers in a timely manner. When I'm asked by foster parents who I'd recommend for an attorney, my answer is always Christine Majewski. What we love the most is her honesty, from explaining what all could happen case wise to invoicing. We have always gotten a detailed summary of charges when we are billed. If you are in need of an attorney that is well versed in family and adoption law, DCS policy inside and out, and more importantly, is extremely honest and caring, we highly recommend giving her office a call.
I was going through a very hard time in my life when I needed Christine. The time was the birth of my daughter. I had a lot of problems with my daughter's mother: like worrying about my daughter's safety. Christine kept me focused and made sure that my daughter came first. Christine saved my daughter and I. I am so thankful for everything Christine did for my family.
Christine completed an adoption for our family. It was a very emotional and high stress time for our family, as the biological father was not in agreement with the adoption. Christine kept us informed and was very supportive. She talked with our son, and even met with us when we were ordered to meet with a GAL. Christine was a huge advocate for our case. She is very caring and takes time to explain and answer clearly all questions that you may have. She did not treat us like just a case. I would not go anywhere else for any legal services that our family may need in the future. Christine was very up front and honest with us and explained all options and possible outcomes. We are so very thankful that she represented us. Her office staff were very friendly and helpful. Service was Excellent and exceeded all expectations.
I have recommended Christine a number of times since she handled my adoption case. Professional, caring and communicative. If she is unavailable at any moment, her staff is available and helpful to answer questions and relay info. I will continue to pass her name and number out to anyone I know of in need of such service!
