CASE: on one fateful evening, we collided with a motorcyclist. No one was hurt. Nonetheless. we were issued a reckless driving ticket (traffic misdemeanor violation) in the city of Hampton Roads. SOLUTION: we googled search for a lawyer who had experience with the military and who was initimately ...aware with how a misdemeanor could affect one's career. There were numerous good reviews of Attorney O'Brien. We decided to take her chances on her (and we are so grateful we did!) WHY HER?: - her practice is extremely responsive to emails - she's unapologetically honest and forthright. You know exactly where you stand, what your chances are, and how she can help you - she's resourceful - her practice is in the heart of Hampton Roads OUTCOME: our case was dismissed. We were in the best of hands. I encourage those who need a strong and intelligent advocate to consult with Attorney O'Brien now.

I was charged with reckless driving after causing an injury-related auto accident. I felt I simply made a driving error as countless people do every day. I turned to Crystina for help. The judge heard multiple witnesses who testified against me and then turned to Crystina who brilliantly argued tha...t my actions did not rise to reckless as defined by Virginia state law AND that there was not sufficient evidence to prove that I was even at fault. The judge agreed and dismissed my case entirely....not a reduction in the charge but an outright dismissal! The final words spoken in my court case was from the judge herself, and I quote here: "Ma'am, you are very lucky, you chose an outstanding lawyer to defend you". I could not agree more!

I was young, dumb, in the navy, and a very dysfunctional marriage. It was safe to say by the time I found my way to Crystina, I had pretty well made a mess of my situation at 22. Leaving out the details I continued making a series of mistakes, Crystina was at several points a no nonsense voice of rea...son in my life. Not only that she allowed me to grow up a little, without getting in my own way legally speaking. Her pricing was not only reasonable, but she went above and beyond the agreed upon services. She cared about my situation, or rather situations, and made herself available to me in regards to the issue I was facing for hours beyond what I was ever billed for. She quite literally saved my life in more ways than i can ever say. She is an HONEST, hardworking, genuine, and invested attorney. She never judged me for any situation I found myself in, and always always advocated for me above and beyond what was required.
