  Chrissy Simmons

  Lead Attorney & Founder

  Chrissy Simmons grew up in the suburbs of Atlanta, GA; however, her immediate and extended family have called the OBX home for over 50 years. Chrissy’s daily passion and objective are to ensure that all people have competent, compassionate, and affordable representation as they traverse the often complicated and emotional judicial system. In 1999, Chrissy graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Bachelor of Arts in Criminal Justice from Old Dominion University. She received her Juris Doctor from Wake Forest School of Law in 2003 and began her legal career as an Assistant District Attorney in the First Judicial District. Chrissy handled all levels of misdemeanor and felony cases in Juvenile, District, and Superior Courts. The Simmons family directs and sponsors the annual OBX Four Corners Basketball Camp and has done so for over 20 years. Chrissy and her family are faithful members of Kitty Hawk United Methodist Church. Chrissy and her husband live in Manteo with their two sons. When not in the office, Chrissy can be found running, exercising, beaching it with the kids, camping with her son and his Scout troop, sweating or freezing at the baseball field, or at the various sporting venues throughout the District cheering for her children and their teams.
