Recommended

This attorney provided a well needed consult for me having over 10 pending charges. She recommended me to right person. She informed me of my options, she told me time frames and tight deadlines. Her price to retain her was pretty hefty but she offered quality services and her undivided attention if ...hired.She is up to date on current legal processes and has an excellent team behind her.

Thank you for the review. You definitely had some undeserved challenges and I am glad you got relief!

Saved my life

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.

Amazing Attorney

I had been involved with a case in which I was indicted facing 5 to 25 years for a crime I did not commit. I was from out of town and never was in trouble in my life with the law. I had to continue to travel back and forth to VA to show up for court dates. I had an attorney prior to her but I was rec...ommended to utilize her talents for my case. Her expertise in criminal law is impeccable. She is very detailed and very compassionate about her clients. Nevertheless, through the whole ordeal I came out with my case being dismissed and not having to be there for the dismissal, also my case was expunged. Her prices are affordable and she really works with you to get the best results. I’m grateful for her services and if anyone has any criminal issues in the VA area, I recommend you reach out to her.

Not the lawyer you want to retain for family/custody matter

I had consulted with Crystina a couple of years ago when I expressed my desire to relocate out of state to be closer to my immediate family. She did NOT make me feel confident in the process, she has expressed that she had won representing FATHERS win in court multiple times! In addition, I agree to ...the other bad review in here, she suggested unspeakable things. For example, giving up primary custody, getting visitations only that I would have to travel back to VA for my daughter's spring breaks, summers, etc. Crystina did not bother to listen to the differences in improvement quality of life between where we were (in VA) and where we relocated. This was a waste of my money and time, I went back to the firm who represented me a few years ago. I WON, I was granted to relocated to the state of California with my daughter. My daughter and I live in the suburbs now and she made the gifted and talented program here in the school district. The judge made an impeccable judgment and the firm I stuck by really did their homework.
