Mr. Christensenâs 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. Christensenâs 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. "

Verified ClientHired Law firm 2015-2020A 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.
