Virginia S. Criste, PLC

Although I am biased in favor of Virginia Criste after 30 years plus of opposing her, she is a highly respected colleague who is probably the most effective family law attorney in the Coachella Valley in cases where numbers (as in income available to pay or defend against spousal and child support applications and in valuing the property interests in businesses and professional practices as part of the property division equation) require the use of forensic accountants and complicated formulas that an attorney must interpret and present persuasively to the court. And, she volunteers her time as a court appointed attorney for minor children whose parent(s) are enmeshed in hostility that they cannot set aside on their own.

She was court appointed to be my child's minor's counsel, because a safety plan was necessary regarding a thoroughly documented dangerous mother with mental health, violence and criminal issues. Ms Criste proved to be a sexist who fraught against every effort to protect the child she was supposed to represent. The child suffered severe trauma and developmental delays as a direct result of Ms Criste fighting on behalf of the mother for no reason other than gender, with complete disregard of the harm to the child. She even refused to view videos and consider the opinions of experts and witnesses..She committed perjury, child endangerment and violation of multiple court orders. The child suffered severely for 2 1/2 years as the result of her actions and inaction. She will be receiving a Bar complaint shortly. If you are a criminal abusive female parent without morals or care of the safety of your child, Ms Criste is the attorney for you.

She is a savage! I would say go for this shark if you need good representation.

Smart, compassionate, and fair

Amazing service!
