Krystina grew up around the law. Her grandfather was the first lawyer in the family, inspiring three of his kids to follow in his footsteps and become lawyers themselves.
When Krystina was young, she decided she wanted to follow in her family's footsteps.
"My mother, grandpa and both of my uncles were attorneys so that's kind of how it all started," said Krystina. "I used to go to court with my mother and that's what really made me interested in practicing law."
Now a mother of two herself, Krystina's experience as a mother helps her relate more to her clients than ever before. She understands how overwhelming a serious injury or legal crisis can be when a family is depending on you.
"I enjoy personal injury law," said Krystina. "You meet clients who are going through a hard time and it's a good feeling to help them get back to normalcy, but when they are excited that you won for them and now they are able to live their life, it's a very good feeling."
Krystina feels she can relate to a lot of the clients who have children, and that helps her connect with them. They realize she is not just an attorney. She is like them.
