Carl Christensen, of Christensen Law Office represented me in a property foreclosure case. Mr. Christensen?s expertise in the area of real estate law is amazing. He was able to explain what I was up against and how he thought the case would proceed. His explanation was clear and concise. Frankly, I was nervous. I was up against a large corporation. After meeting with him, I had complete faith in Mr. Christensen. He was in continual contact with me at every step of the proceedings. Every question I had was welcomed and answered with care. I knew he was doing everything he could to help me retain my property. I was fully prepared by his office for depositions and mediation. He gave me so much confidence and moral support during the proceedings. Ultimately, through Mr. Christensen?s knowledge and negotiating skills, I was able to retain my property. Mine wasn't a quick and easy case. I still feel every day in my house I have a connection to Mr. Christensen. I have landscaped and made improvements to my home that I never thought would happen. I will never, ever forget how hard Mr. Christensen worked for me. I have my home because of him.

A few years ago, a large bank charged me an exorbitant pre-payment penalty without any basis in the loan documents. I hired Christensen Law to sue the large bank and recover the pre-payment penalty....it was a little like David and Goliath. In the end, I was really happy to have Christensen Law on my side and we made a favorable settlement. Since then, I've used Christensen Law for a few other real estate matters and I've always had a great experience. I highly recommend Christensen Law Office.

Attorney Carl Christensen successfully closed our case in less than one month. The case had dragged on for over a year before retaining his services. While my husband and I initially thought Mr. Christensen was expensive, he actually saved us a large amount of money with a speedy resolution. During our first meeting, Carl assured us we were on sound legal ground. He was confident our suit and counter-suit would be resolved in short order. That was hard to believe after such protracted litigation. He asked a number of questions, and, at times, pushed back against our position. Carl?s approach illuminated the issues for us as litigants and for him as an attorney. This also prepared us for push back by the opposing party and provided perspective on what the opposition?s motivations were in a clear, direct way. Carl then closed the case with binding mediation to the satisfaction of both parties. His ability to quickly understand the nature of the suit, the counter suit, as well as the personalities and natures of the litigants led to a solid outcome?no small feat?the result of a fine legal mind and years of experience as a litigator.

We worked with Chris Wilcox at Christensen Law Office. He was extremely helpful in resolving mortgage issues that we had. Knowledgeable and thorough. It was a pleasure working with him and Lisa Robertson. We are very very pleased and would use him again. We highly recommend him to others. Thanks very much, R K Thomas

Our first time ever having to deal with a legal matter that we were unfortunately forced in to. Dan was patient and great with orienting us through our case. He handled all of the communications and dealt with the other side which took a massive weight off of my shoulders. The resolution was quick. In the end we walked out whole. Thank you Dan for all of your help. Our family appreciates you!

Carl Christensen represented me in an extremely stressful situation I was in that required quick action to protect my legal rights. After Carl agreed to take my case, he took swift and strong action on my behalf immediately. I was so grateful, and felt such a tremendous sense of relief I didn?t think was possible. Carl really cares about people, and stopping bullies in their track. He is definitely who you want on your side when you need the best. It is such a sense of relief when you know you are legally being taken care of. I highly recommend working with Carl Christensen.

I would highly recommend Dan as he took on our case and was realistic with us from the start. I didn?t want a lawyer who is going to tell me what I wanted to hear, but what we need to understand and how we can navigate through our specific situation. Dan helped us work with what the circumstances were, and what facts we have available as it pertains to the specific case we had. When dealing with dishonesty, keeping our focus on what we can do can be difficult, and Dan helped us focus on that.
