Law Office Of Christina Lana Shine, Esq.

An absolute gem! Christina did a fantastic job helping me get through an extremely stressful divorce. She worked hard and did a wonderful job explaining things throughout the divorce process ensuring I understood each detail answering any and all questions - a true professional!!!

I never leave bad reviews but I never want anyone to experience what I did. I hired Christina Shine to be my divorce attorney. She was supposed to make one of the hardest parts of my life easier. Sadly she made it a million times worse. She never let me know when she received important documents. At one point she even contacted my ex-husband‘s attorney telling them a complete lie. What she did is she accidentally mixed up my case with another case. That lie caused a huge problem as my ex-husband became very hostile. I can’t blame him as what she accused him of doing was a complete lie because it was somebody else’s case. She not only cost me more money but did a very poor job of representing me. She made my life absolutely miserable during one of the hardest periods of my entire life. Please do not use her. Hiring her was the worst mistake I’ve ever made. Thank god I didn’t have any kids with my ex-husband. Don't make my mistake. Hire someone else who will care about you and take the time to get to know your case and do what you’re paying them to do.

Christina Shine was extremely good at helping me navigate a difficult divorce. She was professional at all times and knowledgeable about the nuances of my case, answering my questions clearly. She was creative in problem solving in a difficult situation and ultimately helped orchestrate a final divorce settlement that met my interests well. I enjoyed working with her and with her paralegal, Kristin Peters. I would recommend Christina Shine to anyone seeking to terminate a marriage in the Buffalo area. She is a top notch attorney.

Christina was great to work with. I have been working with her on my divorce over the past year and half (and happy to say I am finally done). Some of the things I have experienced with her: Very good at helping me keep a level head in what felt like impossible situations. Never had a bill I needed explaining, everything was reasonable and easily explainable. Always called back within a short period of time and was always available when needed. Felt like it was a team approach. I would give her the situations that would arise. We would come up with a plan on how best to handle it. Overall, I think without her I would have done a lot worse in my divorce without. Not to mention her attention to detail about the things that mattered to me in the divorce were huge. She knew time with my child was my biggest non-negotiable and, in every situation, she made sure to fight for that. Glad to say despite all of the things that were said (which most were simply not true) I was able to get 50/50 custody of my child.

****Please Stop and Read This!!!!**** I have known Christina Shine for over 10 years. She has handled Matrimonial matters for me and she is EXPERT at her craft. For the last 8 years she has been dealing with what the Law Judges have deemed one of the most difficult cases they have seen. She is always prepared, professional and never leaves anything to chance. Also, she comes highly recommended as a Mediator. If you have a friend, family member or even you that needs to know how to navigate through the "system" and want excellent representation with fair disposition, Christina is the person you should contact. Mediation makes the most sense, but if that is not possible, she will protect all your interests!
