Columbia, thank you for showing up for us! 🤍

Being recognized in Free Times’ Best of Columbia 2026 is incredibly meaningful to me, not simply because of the recognition itself, but because it came from the community I get to serve every day.

Columbia, you did this. 🤍

Being voted Best Estate Planning Attorney means more to me than I can put into words.

Thank you to every family who has trusted me, every person who has shared my name with a friend, and everyone who took the time to vote. Getting to do work I love, for families I care about, in a community I call home is something I never take for granted.

Thank you, Columbia. Truly.

Most parents think naming guardians in their will is enough. It’s not.

It’s an important first step - but it doesn’t answer every question.

If something happened to you, whether temporarily or permanently, who could legally step in to care for your children right away?

That’s why we talk with every parent about a Kids CARE Plan.

Somehow, “estate planning” got a reputation for being something only wealthy people with yachts need.

The truth? Christie doesn’t spend her days planning for “the yacht guy.” She spends them helping families like her own protect the people they love.

If you have someone you care about, you’re exactly who planning is for.

"We’ll get to it later.” 🤨

That’s what everyone says.
Until later becomes someone else’s burden.

We’re not avoiding planning because we don’t care. We’re avoiding it because life feels nonstop.

Sound familiar? It's probably time to talk about it.

We are all about approachable, real life planning! đź”— in bio
