About
I began my legal career at Buckley and Associates in 1999 as a case manager, and later a legal assistant. Inspired by my mentor, Mr. James Buckley, giving voice to individuals that could not be ignored in their fights against the insurance industries, I followed in Mr. Buckley’s footsteps and earned my Juris Doctorate degree from the University of Oregon School of Law. While in law school, I served as a senior editor for the Oregon Review of International Law, a member of the Moot Court Board, and a judicial extern for the Honorable John V. Acosta, United States District Court, District of Oregon. I returned to Buckley & Associates as a litigation attorney handling personal injury claims fighting insurance companies that are reluctant to fairly compensate those that are hurt through no fault of their own. I feel fortunate in being able to connect with and advocate for my clients, particularly based on my own experience of having difficulty communicating when I first came to the United States and could not speak English. I also feel fortunate in being allowed to attend Trial Lawyers College in September 2012 where I learned from and became a part of a community of passionate and dedicated lawyers who are committed in the pursuit of justice for their clients.

Back in January of 2012, I was driving home at about 11:00 PM when a car filled with teenagers darted out of a dark, poorly lit parking lot straight into my car. There was no time for me to react, and both cars had some pretty bad damage. Next day his insurance calls me and says they will split the "fault" with me by 20%, because I "failed" to make evasive maneuvers. What am I, a mind reader? At this point I told them I would consult a lawyer. A family member who had great experience with Christine had recommended that I call her, and she was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and empathetic to my situation. She was able to settle the matter completely with zero liability on me. I was able to get the full amount for repairs. Thank you so much Christine!!!
