Christina Lana Shine, Esq., has been a lifelong resident of Western New York and is committed to serving Erie County and the surrounding areas.

Through mediation, I can help you and your spouse or co-parent reach agreements on divorce, custody, or child support without the expense and conflict of a courtroom battle. Once we’ve resolved the issues, I draft the legal documents needed—such as amendments to settlement agreements or custody petitions—that you can file with the court.

This process keeps you in control, saves significant time and money, and helps preserve a more respectful path forward for your family.

For more than 30 years, I’ve helped individuals and families across New York navigate divorce and family law matters with skill and compassion. My work spans mediation, collaborative law, and litigation, allowing me to adapt to the needs of each unique case.

When we meet, I’ll take the time to understand your circumstances, your family dynamics, and your goals. Together, we will explore your options—whether reaching resolution through mediation, negotiating agreements through collaboration, or pursuing a strong case in court.

I am here to provide the guidance, clarity, and support you need during this difficult time. With more than 30 years of experience in family and matrimonial law, I assist clients with divorce, custody, child support, spousal support, property division, and post-judgment modifications.

No matter which path your case takes, my focus remains the same: guiding you toward solutions that protect your rights, respect your family, and provide clarity for the future.
