Crystal Andrade is an associate attorney with Alford and Clark Injury Attorneys. Before beginning her position with Alford and Clark, Crystal worked for the Cole Law Firm in Houston, Texas assisting in catastrophic spinal cord injury cases. Crystal is a proud member of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association, Capital Area Trial Lawyers Association, and San Antonio Trial Lawyers Association.

Crystal was born and raised in Laredo, Texas and stays loyal to her border-town roots. As a proud Latina, she understands the importance of having greater representation by women like her in the legal community. She is not only a first-generation lawyer, but the first in her family to attend college. After leaving Laredo, she went on to attend the University of Texas at Austin, where she graduated with a degree in Government and History. She then attended St. Mary’s University for law school, where she served as an editor for the St. Mary’s Law Journal, a member of the National Mock Trial Team, President of the Student Bar Association, and a student attorney at the St. Mary’s Center for Legal and Social Justice. During law school, Crystal competed in numerous school-wide advocacy competitions and was crowned Jimi Derrick’s Moot Court champion.

Crystal spends most of her free time playing golf, visiting different breweries around Austin, Texas, and hanging out with family and friends. She enjoys listening to Tejano and country music and will never pass up a chance to attend a live-music event.
