About Christine
Christine Torres built a legal foundation that blends classroom instruction and courtroom practice. She earned a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice from California State University, Long Beach in 2004 and went on to receive her Juris Doctor from Trinity Law School in 2007. Those years shaped her approach to family matters and public service. She later returned to Trinity as an adjunct professor in 2018, bringing real-world perspective back into the classroom.
Torres began practicing under her own name soon after law school. In 2008 she worked as Christine M. Torres, Lawyer at Law, handling matters that exposed her to the day-to-day realities of client counseling and case management. She joined Tyler & Bursch, LLP in 2017 as a family law lawyer, a role that deepened her experience in divorce, custody, and related proceedings. In 2019 she served as counsel at the Law Office of Jaclin Awad, continuing to represent clients in contested family matters. In 2023 she took a position at the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC, where she is listed as a family law lawyer.
Her bar affiliations reflect practice across state lines. She holds membership in the Texas State Bar since 2022 and has maintained another bar membership since 2008. She is admitted to practice in both California and Texas. That dual-jurisdiction experience has exposed her to differing procedural rules and local practices, and it informs how she prepares cases and advises clients who have connections to more than one state.
Teaching has been one thread in her career. As an adjunct professor at Trinity Law School she returned to legal education in 2018. Colleagues and students from that period recall her willingness to discuss litigation strategy and courtroom procedure in practical terms. Her teaching stint is one of several professional experiences that combine casework and instruction.
Her legal resume shows a steady focus on family law. Over the years she has taken on custody disputes, divorce proceedings, and related family-court matters. Roles at private firms and solo practice settings have given her experience in both negotiation and contested hearings. Clients typically encounter her as a lawyer prepared to handle the procedural and emotional complexities family law often presents.
She currently practices family law at the Law Office of Bryan Fagan, PLLC, where her work centers on family-court representation and case preparation.
