About the Firm
Meet Christopher J. Pollino
Christopher J. Pollino has practiced family law in Skagit County since 1990. Before opening his own office, he spent his first two years at Williams, Kastner & Gibbs in Seattle handling product-liability and medical-malpractice defense — the kind of high-stakes trial work that sharpens an attorney fast.
In 1991 he became a partner at Lewis, Evans & Pollino, where the firm handled family law and civil litigation. Today he runs a solo practice focused on family law, bringing the preparation of a big-firm defender to the personal attention of a small office.
He is joined by Rhonda M. Johnson, his paralegal of more than 30 years. Clients name her in reviews for a reason: she keeps cases moving, answers questions, and makes sure no detail slips.
