Christina was born and raised in Astoria, New York. She obtained her Bachelor of Arts Degree from CUNY Queens College, where she was granted a full scholarship for academic and athletic achievements. While playing Division-2 soccer all four years, she also worked to graduate with a major in Media and minor in Sociology. Upon graduation, Christina moved to Florida and attended Ave Maria School of Law in Naples. She received her Juris Doctor degree and was named to the Dean’s List for outstanding academic achievement. Christina went on to pass the Florida bar as a first-time bar taker.
Before joining Kelleher Law, PA, Christina worked as an insurance defense attorney. During that time, she acquired invaluable experience and learned how insurance companies like to operate. She also faced instances where she felt certain decisions were inherently unjust, only intensifying her passion for helping those in need. She understands the vulnerability and frustration of those involved in an accident and is passionate about guiding injury victims and their families through such difficult times. Christina has decided to dedicate her life and career to help victims rebuild their lives and obtain the compensation they rightfully deserve.
Although Christina initially planned to return to New York City after attending law school, the Florida sunshine stole her heart. She loves spending time at our Naples and Fort Myers beaches, kayaking, camping, playing sports, and trying new restaurants. Prior to joining the Kelleher team, personal injury attorney, Christina Kelleher, agreed to one request – that she would consider converting from a New York Jets fan to a Buffalo Bills fan. Jim Kelleher, a passionate Bills fan, and Christina both agree – it’s a work in progress.
