"This law firm is laughable. I contacted them to get some advisement regarding small business taxes and they took my name and information and concern. I was told they would call me in a day or two. They never called. I called to follow up and was told by the person answering the phones that my call was placed in the queue and they may not have called me back because they wouldn't be able to help me with my case. I questioned why they wouldn't at least call me back to let me know and the person told me he would put me in the queue again and contact his legal team directly and that if I didn't hear anything from them then they wouldn't be able to help me. What kind of legitimate business would just not call people back who want to enlist their services? Very disappointing. Typical of law firms in my experience. They only chase the big bucks and refuse to deal with smaller cases."

"Christina Looney is by far the worst divorce attorney I have ever seen. She not only over charges but she does not fight for her clients and try’s to talk them out of continuing the process to end it even if they aren’t happy with the outcome. On top of that if you do not pay her what is owed after the retainer within 30 days after she puts a lien on your home. I witnessed all of this and I also witnessed a real attorney give more information in a free consultation than Looney did the entire time. Please do not waste your time and hard earned money with this lawyer. They say you get what you pay for and she is proof that you don’t. Over priced for her work. Cheaper lawyer, with 50+ years experience in Albuquerque and has never even heard of her before if that puts it in perspective the quality of her work."
