Why Choose ChristieLegal?

#1 ChristieLegal Is Passionate About Being a Divorce and Child Custody Paralegal and Mediator

Christie of ChristieLegal has been passionate about being a divorce and child custody paralegal and mediator since February of 2013 because nothing is more important to your physical, social, emotional, and financial well-being than NOT being part of a negative long-term romantic relationship and being able to spend a reasonable amount of time with your children and share in making decisions for them. Who you partner with is the most important decision that you will make because that person can improve your life or negatively affect it! My extreme passion for this work is based on the negative marriage and child custody and parenting time experiences of myself and others.

#2 ChristieLegal Saves Clients Time and Money and Writes More Effective Court Documents

Working with ChristieLegal, instead of both parties hiring attorneys and battling, MIGHT BE the best choice for your MN divorce and/or child custody case because ChristieLegal saves her clients tens of thousands of $ and at least 6 months in the court process, and ChristieLegal works diligently to write court documents that will be benefit both parties during and after the divorce court process!!!

1 of the goals of working with ChristieLegal is to reduce conflict compared to both parties hiring attorneys. ChristieLegal will work to help the clients understand MN divorce and custody laws. Then, she will work to help the clients reach agreements on all of the issues or, in certain situations, refer them to mediators to do so. Therefore, ChristieLegal’s work creates less negativity and shortens the court case process to an average of 2 to 4 months, instead of it lasting at least 9 months!

Another goal of working with ChristieLegal is to file with the court divorce and/or child custody case documents that are more likely to be effective. When clients reach agreements with each other with help from paralegal mediator ChristieLegal, instead of being ordered by a court how to divorce and/or handle the child custody and parenting time case, the decisions are more likely to be more effective and effective for a longer period of time because the clients know their situation better than a judge and 2 attorneys do! In addition, the clients will be much more likely to buy into agreements that they reached, instead of accepting a judge’s decisions that were forced upon them, since they had skin in the game. This is a beautiful thing because the clients will be less likely to file Motions in court after the divorce and/or child custody case has been decided because 1 or both of the parties isn’t following the divorce documents and/or child custody and parenting time documents. Cha ching! Do you want to be trapped in endless divorce and/or child custody case litigation?!

The last goal of working with ChristieLegal is to save the parties thousands to tens of thousands of $!!! ChristieLegal charges $165 to $225 per hour for paralegal and/or mediator services, whereas attorneys charge $300 to $550 per hour, and each party needs his/her own attorney. Therefore, ChristieLegal saves clients a car payment per hour!!! In addition, ChristieLegal offers a 10% discount to several groups of folks – EMTs, firefighters, military members, law enforcement and corrections officers, teachers, mental health care providers, including drug and alcohol addiction treatment providers, and social workers, including veterans of those careers – and low-income clients (both parties together earn under $40k per year). From ages 6 to 18, I was a Navy Brat or a child of a Navy sailor, so I know that I couldn’t do what military folks have done. I’ve worked as a corrections officer at the county and state level and a teacher in St. Paul and the suburbs of St. Paul, so I know that those are really tough careers. My children and I have used the services of mental health care providers and social workers since my late-husband Karl died in 2009.
