I went to court for a legal concern, one of my friend referred Mr. Michael Crawford and he was able to help us very well. Mr. Crawford was very efficient in what he was doing and helped me and my family throughout the entire situation. Mr. Crawford also gave us really good counseling, he is very trustworthy and kind, and I can personally say he has a passion for what he does. I strongly recommend Mr. Michael for any legal concern.

For the better part of a decade I had to live in the fringes of society because of the mistakes I made in my past. I found myself hiding from the world just knowing I would go to prison one day but was too scared to face the music. I kept trying to do the right things to better myself knowing it didn’t matter, I was wrong. I was pulled over for speeding and arrested on a warrant. I could have never imagined that was a good thing. Ultimately led to me finding Micheal J Crawford law firm. After talking to Mr Crawford the first time I left with a since of hope for the first time in years. Mr Crawford

Everyone in the office is very helpful. From the point you walk in all the way to the Attorneys. None of my questions never went unanswered. If I had a question the attorney himself was willing to reach out and answer all of my questions. I would highly recommend this firm to anyone.

The staff at the Law Office of Michael Crawford is professional and very responsive. They were able to get my son back when my ex-husband would not return him to me. Mr. Crawford and Kim were able to establish supervised visitations for my ex-husband and son so that this will not happen again.. Thanks for all your help...

I have had the privilege of having Michael Crawford as an attorney with my divorce and again with modifications of child support. He provided me with legal advice and guidance during difficult and stressful situations. He will tell you exactly where you stand and the direction you should go. He represented me in the most professional manner, his ethics are of the highest standards. He is very intelligent, forceful when the situation calls for it, but is also thoughtful and compassionate. I highly recommend him on any matter. Did I mention his staff? They are professional, confident, and very straight

When you are unjustly accused of committing a crime, based on the testimony of an unreliable individual, then arrested by local law enforcement and booked into jail, your first reaction is disbelief. Your second is to seek help from a trusted attorney. When this happened to my husband and we needed help, Michael immediately made time in his schedule to meet with us and began working to clear my husbands name. He assured us that the truth would come out and assured us every step of the way that he would fight for us. He is persistent, smart and invests in his clients. His staff is professional,

Mr. Crawford and his team handled my case with TLC and complete professionalism. From the get go Mr. Crawford and his team ensured me that I had nothing to worry about. He was very knowledgeable about the Laws within my case. I felt very confident handling my stress and worries over to him. Knowing that he is a family man as well, he knew my concerns and already had answers for my questions before I asked them. I would highly recommend him as your attorney!

When you hear that Michael J. Crawford is the best all around lawyer, it isn’t just a rumor. It’s the truth. Not just with criminal cases, but family law as well. Michael and his entire team from the front desk to the paralegal, Liz, to his partner Cedric, they all have done very exceptional work in handling multiple family cases over the last couple of years. If I’m going to court, I want Michael J. Crawford and his team in my corner. The communication inside and outside of court was very good. They make sure you feel comfortable and prepared to face whatever situation you have.
