Crystal M. Ullrich, Esq.

As a result of my terrible choicemaking skills when selecting a husband, I spent the better part of the last 5 years in & out of the Monmouth County Family Court system. Not only did I find myself in the thick of an acrimonious-as-hell divorce, but I also struggled through a brutal abuse and custody battle following that.

I have worked with a wellspring of different lawyers over that time, each one flawed in their own frustrating way. Some were too meek, some too brash, some consistently ill-prepared, some had straight up gross personalities, some refused to (literally ever) take my calls, most were horrendous writers - my laundry list of negative feedback could go on and on.

That is, until I booted them all to the proverbial curb and found Crystal.

Hearmenow: CRYSTAL ULLRICH IS, WITHOUT CONTEST, THE BEST LAWYER I HAVE EVER ALLIGNED WITH. She was able to seamlessly navigate my nightmare case, outsmart my evil ex-husband at every turn, and non-condescendingly educate me on anything vital I needed to know. Her writing skills were honestly UNMATCHED, which is crucial to this process going well. Truly. Strong writing is easily 90% of what this (deeply broken) system relies on to function. If your lawyers motion work is riddled with typos and/or muddled thoughts, you can be sure it will reflect poorly on your overall argument. Crystal wrote circles around all of my previous lawyers. She also wrote circles around my ex-husbands totally bootleg law team.

She was far more rational than I, thereby helping to diffuse the bad blood between myself and my ex when communicating with his people - and ultimately achieving better results because of her calm demeanor. On the flipside, I could also count on her to flawlessly insert the appropriate amount of snark if the situation warranted it. She was always strategic and brilliant in her efforts to communicate and push my case forward. Not to overlook her upbeat style! The family court legal process is daily torment, an absolute emotional horror show - and Crystal was always able to keep my morale high and often make me belly laugh (!), even when I was feeling my most furious & unhinged.

Crystal was a complete professional and an absolute JOY to work with. She surpassed every expectation I had and always always always took amazing care of me as her client. I felt completely protected with her at the helm of my case. And in the end, as a result of her unbending work ethic and overall on point approach, I was able to stomp my ex into the ground, but in a very class act, high-road manner.

I cannot recommend Crystal highly enough. Retain her now before she becomes wildly law-famous and cannot take your case on - because I can assure you that’s the direction her path is heading.

I hired Crystal to help me with a complicated child custody issue. I only have one child and was never involved with lawyers before. She was referred to my from a family member who spoke highly of the firm she represents. I cannot say enough about her. She’s very smart and extremely savvy. She thinks two steps ahead of people. She’s patient and caring about what she does. She did an excellent job handling the case and worked it out to my satisfaction and more. Her writing skills are unmatched, her communication skills are top notch. She is a rising star in the field and if you need someone you can trust to help you, this is the person. I wouldn’t think twice about hiring her again. She’s awesome.
