Crystal knows that the effective practice of family law is less about “winning” and more about finding fair and sustainable solutions to life’s most complex and emotionally-charged issues. She has been finding common ground and advocating compassionately for her clients since being called to the Bar in 2014. She has worked with clients from a variety of backgrounds, ranging from her work with Legal Aid and as Duty Counsel to complex family property litigation; but she strongly prefers applying alternative dispute resolution practices whenever possible. Accordingly, she has obtained accreditations as a Mediator through the Law Society of British Columbia, and as a Collaborative Divorce Professional.

Crystal earned her law degree at the University of Windsor but has always thought of the Fraser Valley as home.

Crystal can often be found on a mountain peak somewhere in BC, or absorbing culture and cuisine in a far-flung destination.
