About Christina
Cristina Perez Cristina Perez is a multi-faceted woman of the ages. She is a successful lawyer, television personality, radio host, entrepreneur/business owner, author, and national columnist. At the foundation of all of these roles, however, lies Cristina’s complete devotion to her family, friends, and loved ones. This kind of sane prioritizing may be perhaps rare, but for Cristina . . . well, it comes directly from her family roots.
In the media world, Cristina’s claim to fame was her role as the enormously popular host of the Spanish language television program “La Corte de Familia” (Family Court) which aired nationally and internationally in fifteen countries on the Telemundo Television Network/NBC. The program appealed to viewers of all ages. The show, one of the highest rated Spanish language programs in the U.S., re-enacted the courtroom drama of family law related claims. Cristina was the first female Judge-Actress to air on a nationally syndicated Spanish network series.
Cristina made her television debut on the program “La Corte Del Pueblo” (People’s Court), which aired locally in Los Angeles on KHWY Channel 22. The show re-enacted general small claim matters and allowed, for the first time, cameras to enter the judicial arena and bring the drama of legal battles to the Spanish language viewer. The series was an enormous success and the producer decided to cast Cristina, once again, as the just Judge for “La Corte de Familia.”
Cristina utilized La Corte de Familia and La Corte del Pueblo as vehicles to raise the consciousness of the Latino community. The success of each show lied on the fact that each celebrated the strength of the Latino culture and the importance of family. It also reminded viewers, of all ages and ethnicity, not to forfeit their culture and the great lessons learned from our ancestors to make it in the United States. It is reliance on these lessons which she believes are key ingredients to be a success in life.
Cristina Perez is a lawyer who is as likely to hug the plaintiff as she is to pound her gavel. Today, she is a fine-tuned example of a successful Spanish to English market crossover. Currently, an English-speaking judge on Twentieth Television’s sophomore syndicated court show drama, “Cristina’s Court,” Cristina has demonstrated to her fans that not only is it possible to be truly bilingual and accepted by both cultures equally, as proved by her steadfast following, it is a proud way of life. Noted as the “healing judge” by colleagues and fans alike, Cristina maintains to rule the same way in English that she has always done in Spanish.
Armed with the life changing lessons learned from her immigrant parents, Cristina is a leader in the community and is committed to community awareness. Cristina has worked to make a difference in her community at every scale. She is an active member and leader of several community and legal organizations.
Cristina frequently lectures and speaks at seminars sponsored by public/community associations, law schools and professional organizations. She is also frequently featured on radio and television. Cristina serves as a weekly Attorney Co-Host on Radio UNIVISION in Los Angeles, California.
