Hello! I am Crystal.
If I have learned anything during the course of my career, it is that with insurance companies, it will always be profit first. With Lloyd Injury Law, it will always be PEOPLE FIRST.
For over a decade, I have provided legal services on national and international personal injury cases. Now I have purposely chosen to scale back to a solo practice. I am seeking to get back to basics, to develop relationships with my clients so that we can work together to find solutions to their problems, and feel like I am making a difference, rather than just moving cases through the process of claims resolution.
Unlike many attorneys, I did not always know I wanted to be a lawyer. In fact, after obtaining my undergraduate degrees from the University of Washington in anthropology and psychology, I still didn't know that the law was the career path for me. Out of necessity (thank you student loans), I took a job working for Safeco Insurance in their call center. Over the next few years, I worked my way up to a casualty claims adjuster responsible for managing and settling personal injury insurance claims.
Then the unexpected happened. My 17-year-old little brother, and two of his close friends, were involved in a horrific car crash. While fortunately my brother and one passenger survived with significant injuries, his best friend was killed.
I sat on the sidelines as my parents, and the families of my brother's friends struggled through the complex claims processes the insurance companies have established to deter individuals from pursuing full and fair compensation for their claims. This process is intended to intimidate and force injured victims to settle their claims short, or face the terrifying prospect of litigation. I began to realize that the experience I had gained as an insurance adjuster could help victims navigate this process stacked against them and how important it is for injured victims to have access to knowledgeable and competent legal representation to battle these mega insurance companies with hoards of attorneys and unfathomable resources at their disposal.
PEOPLE FIRST. That is the motto of Lloyd Injury Law . My goal is to provide every client with an individualized experience, that is tailored to your specific needs, while still providing the high-quality legal services you deserve.
Over the course of my legal career, I have dedicated myself to advocating for the rights and interests of individuals. My representation has encompassed a diverse array of cases, each unique in its circumstances but united by the common goal of seeking justice and compensation for the victims. My experience in this area is extensive, having successfully represented thousands of clients. The settlements and judgments I have secured on their behalf vary widely, reflecting the specific details and complexities of each case, with amounts ranging from modest sums in the hundreds of dollars to substantial awards in the millions.
My commitment to providing exceptional legal representation extends beyond the realm of motor vehicle collisions. I have also been privileged to represent clients in numerous high-profile cases that have captured international attention as well as cases that have had significant implications throughout the United States. These cases have spanned a wide range of legal issues and industries, challenging me to apply my skills and knowledge in varied contexts and jurisdictions. My involvement in these matters has not only contributed to my expertise but has also reinforced my reputation as a capable and determined advocate for my clients.
This extensive and varied experience has equipped me with a deep understanding of the legal landscape, enabling me to navigate the complexities of the law with confidence. Whether representing a client in a straightforward local case or a multifaceted international dispute, I approach each matter with the same level of dedication and professionalism, striving to achieve the best possible outcome for those I represent.
Through my practice, I have developed a comprehensive skill set that includes intricate negotiation tactics, thorough investigative methodologies, and compelling courtroom strategies. My approach is characterized by a meticulous attention to detail, a profound commitment to my clients' welfare, and an unwavering pursuit of justice. It is through this lens that I have been able to make a meaningful impact on the lives of my clients, helping them to navigate through some of the most challenging periods of their lives with dignity and a sense of security.
As I look to the future, I remain committed to leveraging my experience, skills, and insights to continue making a difference in the lives of those seeking legal assistance. My past achievements serve as a foundation for my ongoing efforts to represent individuals and entities facing legal challenges, both domestically and internationally, with the utmost integrity and professionalism.
On the personal side, I live near the Summit of Steven's Pass in Washington, with my husband and daughter. In my free time, I enjoy pursuing all the Pacific Northwest has to offer. In the summers, I can be found sailing around the San Juan Islands, camping in Olympic National Park, or hiking the mountainous trails in the Cascade Mountains. In the winter, I will be skiing or snowshoeing near my home. I also have a passion for photography and am rarely seen without my camera on adventures with my family.
I hope you never have the need for a personal injury lawyer, but if you do, I look forward to meeting you!
