Cristal Robinson (she/her) is the attorney at Robinson Law. As a seasoned attorney, business owner, and educator, she is passionate about advancing the rights of neurodivergent, queer, and other diverse people through legal representation, advocacy, and consulting. She focuses on discrimination law under disability & civil rights, as well as promoting diversity, equity, & inclusion in education, employment, & business ownership. 

Prior to Robinson Law, Cristal Robinson was a business owner of American Real Estate Services in Amarillo, Texas, and a certified Montessori teacher. She has a Juris Doctor, Master of Business Administration, and Bachelor of Business Administration in finance. When she moved from Texas to North Carolina, she downsized her practice areas and stopped representing people in family law, criminal law, and other litigated cases.
