Christina Stokes, PhD, Esq.
When legal issues disrupt family life or cause financial strain, clients need more than legal representation — they need a trusted guide who can protect their rights and help them move forward. Christina Stokes provides that guidance, offering clear advice, strong advocacy, and practical solutions in family law, personal injury, and estate planning.
In family law matters, she helps clients with divorce, custody, timesharing, child support, and other sensitive issues — always with a focus on protecting their rights, their children, and their futures. In personal injury cases, she represents individuals and families affected by auto accidents, motorcycle accidents, trucking accidents, slip-and-fall incidents, and wrongful death claims. She understands that a serious injury impacts more than the injured person — it affects an entire family’s financial stability, emotional health, and future.
Clients benefit from her calm, strategic approach that focuses on resolving disputes efficiently while protecting long-term interests. She takes the time to explain options, outline next steps, and provide a clear path forward. While she works to avoid unnecessary conflict, she is a zealous advocate when needed, ensuring her clients’ voices are heard and their rights are safeguarded.
Her experience extends to serving military families and law enforcement officers, where she understands the unique challenges involving pensions, benefits, deployments, shift work, and jurisdictional issues. She applies that knowledge to develop solutions that address both the legal and practical realities her clients face.
Christina also serves the community as a volunteer attorney for the Guardian ad Litem program and as Chair of the Family Law Section of the St. Petersburg Bar Association — reflecting her commitment to both her profession and the people she represents.
