Crystina is an amazing attorney. I consulted and hired her regarding my serious traffic violation. She was extremely thorough and had an intelligent approach throughout the entire process. She is a pleasure to work with and continued to be there in answering my questions in a timely manner. I am ...glad to have someone as assertive and candid as Crystina working on my behalf. I highly recommend Crystina and thank her for making the process less stressful.

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.

Crystina works long hours, making herself available to clients outside of normal business hours. She is dedicated and assiduously in representing her clients. In addition to her office hours, she is prompt is responding to phone calls and email correspondence. For those of us not fluent in legal lang...uage, she easily translates legalese into layman's terms.

Ms. O'Brien represented me for a complicated custody hearing. I originally hired an attorney who was not responsive to my questions or getting to know my case. I released my prior attorney and chose Ms. O'Brien after reading reviews on Avvo. Although the case was complicated and in midstream, Ms.... O'Brien agreed to represent me. She was immediately available to meet with me and our 2 hour appointment lasted at least 3.5 hours. Ms. O'Brien took the time to get to know my case, responded promptly to all emails, demonstrated compassion and was well versed on family law. I immediately felt at ease with Ms. O'Brien and believe that she provides excellent advocacy and representation. I could not have asked for a better attorney and the outcome of the case was favorable.

I chose Crystina as my attorney because of her military background and figured we would share common ground as I was retired Navy. I was right, she was exactly what I wanted/needed. Not only is she aggressive in her style but extremely intelligent in court. Nothing, and I mean nothing slips by or goe...s unnoticed by her. She knew from the beginning that my case was a challenge and she rose to the occasion and her performance was flawless. Crystina makes herself very available to her clients. She will return every phone call and email. She will keep you in the loop as your case progresses through the system. Crystina does not shy away from litigation and will not pressure you to take the plea deal. She loves a challenge and in my case, exceeded all expectations. I cannot say enough of how pleased I was with her performance as my attorney. Her firm is still small enough to where you are not just a client with a checkbook but a person who needs help.
