Case Dismissed!!!

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!

Willing, and capable to fight the tuff fights, with passion, intelligence, and integrity

sometimes in life you get caught up in situations so bad you need a person to fight for you because you are unable to fight for yourself, and that is exactly what Mrs. O'Brien does. She will fight with every legal tool at her disposal in order to make sure her clients get what they deserve. She does ...not care if the fight is against the United states military or the state, she'll fight for what's right, and she does not care how long it will take to get justice, and the best thing is she will WIN!!!, and win big. I would Hire this lawyer at the drop of a hat because she takes care of business.

Restoration of Rights

I recently called Ms. O’Brien concerning a long-ago Court Martial. I had long been convinced that dealing with the restoration of rights — my right to vote and possess a firearm — would be long, difficult and expensive. Much of that impression came from reviewing law-based opinions on the Internet. M...s. O’Brien methodically talked me through the reverent laws, revealing that, based on Federal and Virginia laws, I was already eligible to vote and possess a firearm. She also pointed out the errors of many Internet Barracks Lawyers, including those who have law degrees. If you are looking for a lawyer, look no further. Contact Ms. O’Brien. She is a straight-talker, clear thinker and is extremely patience in explaining the law. If I ever need a lawyer again, it will be Ms. O’Brien. Retired Military

One word....WOW

I have a unique case and have been in complete depression for the last 3 days wondering what false accusations could be thrown my way. After 5 minutes of talking to her on the phone, she made me feel at ease about my situation, re-iterated the fact that I was a victim, and advised me to reach out to ...her when needed and she'll have my back. In 20 minutes she lifted a huge burden off my shoulders, in which I felt like reaching through the phone and hugging her like I knew her. Thank you, Christina, you're now on my speed dial!!!! #simplythebest
