Cole & Valkenburgh, P.C.

I have worked with the attorneys at this firm in many different capacities and their knowledge and work ethic is stellar. They have handled very difficult real estate closings involving gravely ill clients and divorcing couples. They have also worked closely and effectively with my partner, Jim Keena, and myself on difficult zoning, development and wage garnishment situations. We have each worked with many attorneys in different areas, and this team is top notch. Their professionalism and commitment to their clients is unmatched.

The attorneys at this law firm have been beyond accommodating to my friend on which I was a witness to her case. They went above and beyond for her and if I ever need an attorney I'd reach out to them too!

The attorneys at this firm have persevered through my Family Court appearances for me, always making sure that I am informed and comfortable. There aren't many firms that genuinely care about their clients like they do here. I recommend them highly!

I too would give a zero. My daughter enlisted the help of Christine for her social security case. She also never returned phone calls or advised of status to us for over a year. We moved to north Carolina and could no longer use her as the representing attorney. We had to hire someone who could practice law in this state. We were fortunate to find a terrific lawyer who successfully achieved a judgement for my daughter in a matter of a few months. It is common courtesy for attorneys to sign out of clients' cases when they move out of state. Once this law firm found out there was a favorable decision an application for fees was filed for after we were told she sent notice of signing off. She wants a piece of the modest fee granted to the NC attorney which HE worked for. No common courtesy there. I WOUKD NOT recommend this attorney to anyone.

I would give zero but Google won't allow it. Christine doesn't return phone calls or emails. She is clearly over stretched and doesn't know how to delegate or ask for assistance from her colleague. A simple estate settlement stretched over 15 months due to lack of communication on her part. Making the choice to change attorney's resulted in a bill equaling roughly 4% of the total estate. She had the audacity to include the final month of emails we sent and she "reviewed" but never replied to or even acknowledged. I would not recommend this attorney to anyone.
