About
Biography
Crystal is an experienced civil litigator whose practice focuses on commercial litigation and business counseling. Known for her strategic thinking, strong advocacy, and practical approach to solving complex matters, she works with businesses and organizations on the legal issues that shape how they operate — contracts, corporate governance, employment matters, risk management, and the day-to-day questions that arise when running an organization. Her counseling work is informed by extensive litigation experience, and she brings a practical, real-world perspective to helping clients structure their affairs and make sound legal decisions before problems arise.
When clients need representation in court, she brings that same strategic perspective to the courtroom. Crystal represents clients in state and federal courts in Rhode Island and Massachusetts across a range of complex commercial matters, including breach of contract claims, shareholder and partnership disputes, and employment disputes. Her clients have ranged from Fortune 500 companies to small and family-owned businesses, municipalities, and individuals across a broad range of industries.
Prior to co-founding this firm, Crystal practiced at an AmLaw 200 firm in Providence, Rhode Island, where she was a member of the firm's Litigation Group, a major New England firm handling complex commercial litigation matters, and a boutique Rhode Island firm handling municipal litigation matters. Outside of work, Crystal enjoys skiing, gardening, reading, and content creation. She lives in Warwick with her husband Diony and their cat Sammy.
