About Christine Anne
Christine Anne Giovannelli earned her J.D. from Loyola University Chicago School of Law in 2002 after completing a B.A. in finance at Northern Illinois University in 1998. Her legal training in Chicago and undergraduate study in finance give her a blend of legal and numerical perspective. She carried that combination into practice rather than into academia or banking.
Her career includes practice at The Patterson Law Office, LLC. She is admitted to practice in New York and Illinois, and she holds admissions in several federal courts, including the United States District Court for the Eastern District of New York and the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. She is also a member of the Federal Trial Bar. She maintains current membership in the Illinois State Bar.
Giovannelli has spent her professional life working in jurisdictions that require both state and federal court experience. That practical bilingualism — state and federal procedures — shapes how she prepares cases. Her finance background informs how she reviews documentation and evaluates evidence, especially where numbers and records are central to a dispute.
Colleagues describe her as methodical in preparation and direct in court. She handles pleadings, motions practice, discovery and courtroom appearances in the courts where she is admitted. Being admitted to the Federal Trial Bar means she regularly undertakes trial work in federal court when the case and client require it. Her work at The Patterson Law Office, LLC has involved coordinated effort with other lawyers and staff on litigation matters handled by the firm.
Outside courtrooms, Giovannelli stays connected to the profession through bar membership. She keeps current on rules and procedures in both Illinois and New York, and she draws on that familiarity when advising clients about the practical implications of litigation strategy. She represents clients in matters before New York and Illinois state courts and the federal courts to which she is admitted.
