Christine Forakis - Phoenix Estate Planning Lawyer Reviews & Ratings
Christine Forakis Bio
I am a fourth generation Arizona native who has been doing estate planning for almost 20 years. My father before me has practiced almost 50 years and will be joinging my firm in a few years. I am highly qualified to handle the most complicated estates, but also very simple estates for a good price.. I am a fixed fee lawyer, so you always know what you are going to pay before you are billed. All of my consultations are free and I am happy to answer your question over the phone without billing you.. I have a friendly ofice environment. My office is in central Phoenix in a remodeled home in the historic area. You may even get to see the office mascot, who is a little dog named Oreo. We are dog and children friendly, so if you can't find a babysitter, feel free to bring your children.
