Benjamin Wright
Christine Fares handled my business loan restructuring with a solid understanding of banking and finance law. As a recognized attorney in her field, I expected a higher level of responsiveness. While she demonstrated expertise in negotiating terms with the lender, her communication during the process was inconsistent. I often had to follow up to get updates, which made the experience feel less personalized than I’d hoped. The final outcome was favorable, but the journey was slower than anticipated. Her background at Winston & Strawn LLP speaks to her capabilities, and her University of California Irvine education is impressive. However, for a top-tier attorney, I expected a more streamlined and proactive approach. If responsiveness improves, Christine could be an excellent choice for complex financial matters.
Raymond Flores
Christine Fares demonstrated strong knowledge in banking and finance law, which was evident in how she handled my complex loan restructuring case. Her expertise, particularly in light of her recognition by Best Lawyers, gave me confidence in her ability to navigate the intricacies of the matter. However, communication could have been more timely—I often had to wait for responses, which slowed down the process. While her advice was sound, I expected slightly better accessibility given her background at Winston & Strawn. Overall, she’s competent, but improving responsiveness would elevate the experience.
