I was caught between the regulations of Washington State, my mother's life insurance company, and an old Durable Power of Attorney. I had been working with these entities for 2 months. No solution was in sight. I came to Crystal for help. She reviewed the issues raised by each involved institution and laid out 3 options for securing the life insurance surrender my mother needed to pay for her care. The first worked well and within 2 weeks my mother's life insurance funds were released. It was a relief for me to know that had our first approach failed, Crystal had laid out two other options. This was practical, do-able advice and it made all the difference.

Crystal and her assistant Cyndi were both amazing in untangling a rather tangled estate of my Fathers. Crystal is patient and kind, and worked hard to make it so our wishes, as well as my fathers, were fulfilled! I would highly recommend her!

She helped me complete the probate process on my father's estate quickly; Her and her staff were easy to deal with and made a difficult process/situation seem easier.

I sought out Crystal a few years ago. At that time she had actually shared information that i might be able solve the issue i was having by contacting a non profit group. I was impressed with this. I did, they tried but about a year later it still wasn't panning out. I sought Crystal out again as I felt she was honest, thorough and above all transparent about my situation to me. I hired her, we have been working together and I am in the end stretch of my case. Two years into my case my husband was killed and it really caused things to go up in the air. Not only did Crystal and Trena her assistant manage to catch everything as it fell but put it as well together as it could go with a huge piece missing. They were consequently hired by me for his probate as they knew me and the issues i was already facing. Again, she is extremely tenacious and very detail oriented. I appreciated all of her hard work beyond what I expected. I strongly recommend Beaty Hatch, PC where Crystal Lewis is for any of the above listed specialties. Thank you

Crystal did a very timely and thorough review of my pension status. Her work was very detailed and completely backed up by legal precedents.

I have hired Crystal on more than one occasion to represent me on very complex employment and business cases in the last 3+ years. My case outcome has always been better than I had expected. Crystal is excellent communicator and I have never experienced any unforeseen events in my cases. Crystal's cost estimates have been accurate and well explained. Crystal is very committed to her clients and delivers timely and as promised. My experience has been extremely positive. I plan to hire Crystal should any future legal needs arise.

I was under a tight deadline to get a land sale agreement completed on my house in another state. Crystal was aware of my concerns and did everything she could to expedite all the necessary paperwork. I was continually kept up to date on her progress and was extremely happy with how everything was done so fast and thorough. I will definitely call on Ms. Lewis again if the need arises.

Crystal was easy going about the process and was completely prepared when she made her argument to the opposing lawyer. I would highly recommend her. It was by far the best legal experience I ever had
