Outstanding Attorney

My other half was facing some unwarranted heavy criminal charges. Crighton was contacted. He was kind, understanding and patient with all questions and concerns. He was always available to talk. We Always felt comfortable with asking about fears and possibilities of the outcome. Crighton adress...ed everyone of them, realistically. When the court date came , Crighton was a bull dog, and ended up getting the inappropriate charges dropped, which prevented my other half of having a lifetime criminal record. We were relieved. And will be ever grateful to Crighton. He is the attorney to obtain for your defense!

crook/ salesmne

I was going through a very nasty divorce. My wife was keeping my children from me. My children are my world. I reached out to Mr. Chase, as Mr. Brown was recommneded to me, but when I first talked to Mr. Brown, he asked how much do you make, how much do you have to put down, and then transferred me t...o Mr. Chase after my answers. I talked to Creighton and he seemed like he wanted to help. I then exchanged many emails with him over the next few weeks, until Mr. Chase saidm I need to make a payment if I wanted to retain him as alawyer, I completly understood, and I set up a time to go visit Mr. Chase for what was said to be a consultation. After meeting with him in his office for 45 minutes he told me he had anpther appointment coming in, and reminded me to make a payment today. I made a $1500 dollar payment a hour later to the website he directed me to, That sane evening, within 4-5 hours he TEXT me saying he wouldn't be taking my case, giving no reason. When I asked about getting my momey back, he told me that my $1500 dollars was for his (45 minute) consultation. I was a hard working father with a good job, but he didn't think I could afford him, ad when he made that decision he took my money, and I never heard from hi again.

No one will work harder for you

I hired Mr.Chase to represent me in multiple cases and charges. He is hard working, knowledgable, and just VERY good at his job. I really appreciated him being straight forwth with me about my options and possible outcomes of my trials. He didn't sugar coat anything for me, but he did work extremely ...hard and I couldn't be happier with the results!

Highly Recommend

I found out my ex-girlfriend had filed for a protective order against me over the weekend (I hadn’t done anything to warrant that) and her court date was the day I found out. My sister found Mr Crighton on a Facebook page (a lot of people were highly recommending him) so, I contacted him immediately.... We went over everything that I knew over the phone and he met me at the courthouse that afternoon! Mr Crighton was amazing in the courtroom. My ex and I had a daughter and she was trying everything she could to get full custody of our daughter. With Mr Crighton by my side that didn’t happen, I ended up with shared custody and I am so glad I called him! He always answered my phone calls, emails and questions immediately! He made sure everything I wanted was granted and he made sure everything was completed correctly and fair! His charges were very reasonable. I highly recommend Mr Crighton and will use him again if ever needed!!

Fantastic, Professional and Gets Results!

I hired Crighton last year based on numerous recommendations from satisfied customers and out of a need to replace my sub-par representation. Crighton came right out of the gate and represented my divorce case and criminal case extremely well and professionally. My divorce case was extremely stress...ful due to the opposing counsel’s lawyer but Crighton excelled in his representation of me and my interests and we came away with a very favorable settlement. My criminal case was looking gloomy but after Crighton stepped in, we managed to get the case dropped and later my record expunged. Crighton is very responsive via email/phone and was extremely professional and holds true to high integrity standards. His other Co-Workers and partners at Hillman, Brown, & Darrow, P.A. were great to work with and were just as helpful and knowledgeable as Crighton. In the courtroom, Crighton is clear, aggressive, and an intimidating force which is what you want on your side. I am extremely satisfied with Crighton’s service and keep his card close for when I may need it again.
