“I have never been so happy to give a thoughtful, positive review to an attorney – EVER. I am a retired family law paralegal (board certified). From the time Ms. Phan was first retained (to substitute in for another attorney), she exhibited the professionalism and advocacy required in this field of practice. She was prepared, thorough and tough. She came into this case for another attorney who was literally the WORST family law attorney I have ever seen in my 35 years of experience. When hired, Christie stepped into the biggest wreck of a case imaginable and through her diligence and expertise, won and won in a big way. Having been in my field for as long as I have, I am frequently asked for referrals for good family law attorneys and I will always put her #1 on that list. As well as #2, #3 and #4.”

“Mrs Phan really took on the weight of what I had hired her for. In my case it was pretty complex with multiple children and properties. There isn’t a better outcome than what she attained for me. She was the champion I hoped for regarding my children and situation. The process felt very much against me and uphill. I had never been through a divorce or custody situation and Mrs Phan took the situation and did everything litigation wise perfectly. She is a very honest person and I am very grateful for having her in the path of my children. If you have children involved I don’t believe there is another attorney more precise and concerned than Mrs Phan. I looked around before I chose to retain Mrs Phan and thankfully she was the perfect selection. She is precise and methodical with her research and decision making. I am thankful every day since my proceedings ended at what she did for my children and myself.”

"Let her fight for you
To be short, Christie was hired when my case situation seemed dire. I brought her in with only one month before my first big hearing. Even though I knew the facts were on my side, I knew her having to play catch up would be challenging for anyone. She did it with grace and compassion. We ended up settling the day before the hearing and I essentially got everything I asked for. After 13 years I finally have superior custody of my daughter and she is in a much better place. Christie is a bad ass."

“I hired Christie Phan as a family law attorney around the end of 2016 to assist with a couple of things:
1. Getting more time with my then six-year old daughter.
2. Prevent my ex-wife from taking my daughter out of state.
When I divorced six-years ago, I let my now ex-wife dictate the terms and we went to mediation performed by a lawyer of her choosing. She was granted primary custodial parent and was to receive monthly child support. I, like many fathers, just assumed this was the way it was supposed to be so I didn’t fight it. I did not realize at the time that this was not necessarily the case. Things actually went pretty well for the next five or so years with me being allowed to see my daughter pretty much whenever I wanted.
Then my ex-wife and her family (most live here in North Texas) came up with the idea that she and my daughter should move out of state to TN where her sister’s family lives. Granted, I have no family here in TX other than my daughter but I’ve been living here since 2005. I also have no family in TN so picking up my life here to move there was of no benefit to anyone other than my ex-wife. This is why I sought out an attorney as I really did not want to restart my life and move just because my ex-wife wanted to. So around the end of 2016, I felt it best if I filed for joint custody with a 50/50 split. As you can imagine, the freedom to see my daughter whenever I wanted was completely shut down.
I interviewed several lawyers before choosing Christie. Why did I choose Christie? I felt she gave me the most realistic scenarios as to what outcomes to expect. The other lawyers told me what they thought I wanted to hear, more in the line of trying to win my business. So choosing Christie to represent my case was more about trust than anything else.
Throughout the process Christie was empathetic to my needs; she’s detail oriented and kept me informed on what was going on and what I needed to do on my end. We ended up not going to court and going to mediation in July 2017 (requested the day before the court hearing by my ex-wife’s lawyer), this time with me being represented by Christie instead of allowing my ex-wife total control. I ended up getting my daughter for roughly an additional 2-weeks each year (pretty much get her all summer) which was a solid victory considering it’s difficult to change the original court orders unless something drastic has happened (which Christie pointed out to me in our initial interview). As far as moving to TN, we put in a provisional clause that if my ex-wife still wanted to move to TN with my daughter, I would accept if I gained 50/50 custody of my daughter and not have to pay child support (which I planned on using as a college savings fund for my daughter).
I’d definitely recommend Christie Phan to anyone looking for a family law attorney. She’s thorough, answers questions/concerns in a timely manner, and will work every advantage to help you meet your goals. Her honesty stood out to me; it shows she cares about her clients and does not want to mislead them with improbable outcomes."

"I was in a incredibly tough situation with my modification and Christie was amazing! Completely professional and went far and above the call of duty. I would hire her again in an instant!"
Dan J.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I had a very lengthy and difficult divorce. There is no way I would have made it through without the help from Christie. She was very helpful and professional the whole way through the process. I was always able to talk to her when I had questions and she kept me updated on everything that was happening. In my opinion, there is no better attorney out there. I highly recommend her!"
Jocqua M.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Christie helped me with every aspect of my child custody modification case. As a male trying to get primary I thought it would be nearly impossible. Christie took all the facts and was able to get a hearing set as well as temporary orders put in place. She ultimately worked to have everything settled without a hearing. I have worked with a lawyer in the past through a divorce and I would most definitely say she was more reasonable and was eager to help me with any concerns with my case and did a great job of getting back to me when I had questions. Thanks Christie"

"I can honestly say this woman went above and beyond for me! She filed continunces for me and pushed court dates to work around my schedule. Pushed for all my rights and had everyone of my rights as a parent given to me. Everything I wanted from the courts she got for me and now my son is in my life thanks to her. I could never be more grateful for the amazing job she has done for me. I recommend Christie any day of the year! If you want representation that actually cares about you and your case hire her and I promise she will do everything in her power to get the job done!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I REALLY like this attorney. She took on a tough tangled up case against 2 paternal rights lawyers and used everything she had in her arsenal to fight. She’s really smart and handled my case carefully. She got a divorce while she went to law school so her profession is especially close to her heart. Unfortunately after two temporary hearing court cases and starting a new life just after the holidays from basically a stay at home mom of an 8yr old and 2 yr old and an infant I couldn’t keep up with the financial demands of her fees and supporting myself with two part time jobs. The debt I owe her will be more than the invoice I eventually will pay off and will be HAPPY to send her every dollar. I will recommend to anyone looking for someone to think outside the box of the law and have her fight for you. She’s calm , she’s confident, and she’s a no bullshitter."

"HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!
If you are looking for an attorney who will be HONEST and who truly is looking out for your best interest, Christie will 100% be that attorney for you! Christie assisted me in modifying my current custody / child support with my ex husband so I could move out of state with our daughter. Thanks to Christie’s guidance, we ultimately reached an agreement we were both happy with. Thank you Christie from the bottom of my heart! And while I hope I never have another case to deal with, if I do, you will be my first phone call!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Best decision we made was hiring Christie! She listens, prepares and knows her stuff. She helped us through a very painful and long drawn out custody battle. She does not nickel and dime you on time and is worth every penny. Would recommend her to anyone going through a divorce and/ or child custody battle.”
Lynda B.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Christie was my attorney for my divorce in Denton County, TX. My divorce was a little complicated because we owned property outside of the US. Our son was 17 and in his senior year of high school. Christie was great at reviewing all of our assets and debt and helping advise me the best way to divide up our estate. Christie also helped me with the best plan for my son too. The divorce was about 6 months and could have been very costly and much longer. With Christie's experience and honesty to me on what would work and wouldn't work, the divorce was quick, at a minimal cost and the division of assets and debt worked well for me. Isn't that the objective? Thank you Christie, you are awesome and I would highly recommend you! Thanks, Lynda :-)"

"Christie did an excellent job handling my separation/divorce from my ex. She was not the first attorney I interviewed, however I was impressed when she showed to
our initial consultation having already researched other counties to see if my ex had filed. This was huge since we lived four hours apart and neither one of us wanted to travel for the case. Because she was proactive, I was able to file first in my county.
Throughout the case I was on an emotional roller coaster. Christie did an awesome job remaining calm, supportive and understanding of the emotions I was experiencing. She kept me informed and answered the many questions I had(even the ones I asked multiple times). I appreciated the fact that I spoke directly to her when it came to discussing my case and there was no “middle man”. I also appreciate that she was able keep the case moving along and it was completed and closed in less than a year. I received about 80% of everything I wanted from the divorce which is amazing.”

"Great family lawyer!
I went to law school with Christie but when I needed a divorce, I knew I didn't want to handle the situation myself. I contacted Christie and she handled my divorce case quickly and professionally and her fees were more than reasonable. The thing that really sets Christie apart is she gets back to back to her clients very quickly. I have heard from MANY other people that their attorney never contacts them. I never had that problem with Christie - she returned phone calls and emails promptly. I have even referred her to family and friends and I would not do that unless I felt she did a stellar job. Hire her - she is great!"

"Christie had done an excellent job. My divorce case was dropped previously by another attorney, and Christie accepted my case the most urgent and critical time. She is a wonderful attorney and I am so lucky for having found her for my case!"
Amanda Y.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I give Christie Phan a outstanding review because she accepted my divorce case a a short notice. I've spoken with a lot of attorney's and Christie really gave me a warm and comfortable feeling while taking to her. It was a feeling that she genuinely cares about my concerns. No divorce is easy, as no one gets married to get a divorce. With Christie by my side I feel i can walk through this thing with my head held high. Stay tuned for updated review."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"As a business owner you always look for someone who does business the way you do. Christie was that person for me. Christie is not just a lawyer, she is a perfectionist. Driven for the details and always willing to go to battle for you in a moment notice. I wanted Christie to take charge, tell me what she needed from me, and let know what the end of the movie looks like when the case is over. I asked her to give me best case, worst case, and what see would predict. This is Christie, the only lawyer for family law in TEXAS"
Virginia V.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I never understood much about the court system but after my experience in a 2 1/2 year custody battle ending in my favor, I now appreciate even more, the work an attorney does. Just when I thought it was over, it wasn't. I was now having to deal with an appeal and very close to giving up in finding one I could afford. I was very thankful when Christie agreed to take my case despite her limited experience with appeals. She took the time to review my case prior to our first meeting. Christie went above and beyond to work on my case and in the end WE WON! Christie immediately called me as soon as she was notified of the appeals court decision. The call that day was much appreciated. I definitely would recommend her to anyone. Thank you Christie!!"

"Christie was extremely professional and diligent in handling of my divorce. She was available for questions and helped make the process as smooth and painless as possible. I would highly recommend Christie."
Norma T.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Christie was helping me with my divorce case in Dallas County. I contacted her last July, and by October my spouse and I had pretty much worked out our differences. She was on top of any developments and only contacted me when necessary as she understands what it's like to work and have a divorce cloud hanging over a marriage. For this I was definitely appreciative."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Christie was very assuring and helpful in taking first steps to decide whether I needed or did not need an attorney. That is, she only had my best interests in mind. She provided detailed answers to all my questions and I appreciate her very much. My spouses attorney suggested I did not need an attorney but I do not necessarily agree with that and Christie was able to provide me the risk analysis information regarding how to make that decision. My final decision is still up in the air but if I choose to be represented, even for just advice (not for court related "war of the roses" which EVERYONE wants to avoid), there is no question, no doubt, that I would be in the best hands with Christie. I recommend her 100%. Let me also add that her rates are very affordable, which is very important in the midst of an impending divorce where already there will be financial challenges. Thanks Christie!"

"Thorough representation
Christie represented me in a child support case. She was so ready for the proceedings that I was able to win my case. I hope not to have to go to court for family issues, but if I have to I would call her right away and would definitely recommend her. Thank you very much, Christie!"

"Guided Me Through My Divorce
Going through my divorce was an emotionally draining and sometimes frightening experience. It was important for me to find a lawyer that was: 1. Straightforward. I didn't need anybody telling me what they thought I wanted to hear. I had friends and family for that. 2. Professionally assertive. I didn't want somebody being needlessly aggressive but I needed to know they would stand their ground with the other side. 3. Personable. It was a tough time of life so I was looking for positive people to put around me. Thankfully, I found all of those traits in Christie. I can't thank her enough for everything she did and would recommend her to anybody looking for a solutions oriented advocate."

"The best attorney in Dallas Texas
Ms. Phan is a very very very good attorney that will listen to your case and help you get justice in ways that you would never knew. She is very professional, reliable, knowledge, and dedicated to seek justice for you if you have any doubts to what your rights are. She is very passionate about her job and will not quit until the case is fair and just. I highly recommend her and commend her on an awesome job she did for me!! :):):):)"

“Hands down the best protector of your interest. She is the coming of age of one of the most respected family attorneys. My nickname for her is PITBULL. She will stand up for you as if you are family. She has been given the baton of the old schoolers who are retired. She is the new upcoming of a new generation and is the best representation to protect you and your family needs. She cares about both parties, and with a flag of dignity, she will do whatever it takes to help your process. Family matters are hard. She simplifies integrity for both parties. This is a person you can 100% trust.”

"Professional - On Target. Focused, Effective and Essential.
My case had some quirks that were not readily apparent. There was also a timing deadline component that required decisive but careful preparation. I appreciate the diligence and flexibility, truly key to the positive result obtained. I will most definitely hire Ms Phan in the future if the need arises. Regards and Thanks."
Angel J.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Christie is great! She represented me with my custody case. She is very professional and responsive. I do not live Texas and it was very important to have someone I can trust to handle my case from a distance. Going with Christie was a great decision. I couldn't have asked for more."
Jose L.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"Christie has been and invaluable ally for me in my Custody Agreement case. There are many options in terms of how my daughter's mother and I can handle the difficulties of communication and agreements and Christie has been very watchful of the options that can help us both without losing sight of what I want to accomplish in my relationship with my daughter. She has always been upfront about possible outcomes and costs and has always given me as clear a picture as possible. She handles the case herself and I don't need to get through a team to follow up on anything. Her legal assistant Jennifer Johnson has also been key in keeping all of us posted and I really feel I can depend on them both to help me out."
