Top Best Real Estate Lawyers | 8147 Available

My practice is focused on real estate law, creditors' remedies, general business law and civil litigation. A majority of my practice is also focused on common interest commmunities and I represent over 400 hundred community associations throughout the state of Minnesota.

Aside from praciticing law, I enjoy spending time outdoors with friends and family. You may fined me canoeing in the Boundary Waters or skiing and hiking in Montana.

For me its about helping people at a bad time in their lives.   I work hard for my clients to explain the issues, the risks and be creative about possible solutions to my client's challenges and problems.    I was not always an attorney and worked as an engineer before I  went to night law school while I worked full time.   I really think this gives me a different perspective from most attorneys when dealing with complex issues.

But I am also always honest with them about what they can realistically expect to see in their situation. It’s hard for clients to see the big picture when they are dealing with so many emotions and that is my job, to keep their focus where it needs to be in the case.”.

Attorney DeCristofaro said that being the mother of two small children has made her an even better, more compassionate family law attorney. She understands when clients are distracted by their children, often telling them: “Get the kids to bed, grab a glass of wine and call me at 9 or 10 p.m. so we can really focus on what needs to happen.”. She also takes time to talk to clients about life after divorce; how to move forward and manage their new financial situation, as well as encouraging them not to give up on love or marriage despite all they’ve been through.. “My favorite part of being a family law attorney is helping families create their ‘new normal’ so that divorce does not become a crushing life change,” Attorney DeCristofaro says. “I love when people who originally came to me distraught and feeling trapped are able to triumph and take back their lives.”.
