Patrick Joseph Crawford

I couldn't be happier with my choice in hiring Patrick Crawford. From day one I explained to him this will probably not be an easy case and I did not have much money. I am a young father who was just fighting for my rights to have an equal opportunity to raise my son. Patrick Crawford worked with me ...on the finances and gave sound legal advice all the way through the court battle. Among all of the evidence I provided he utilized the evidence that he knew was crucial to the case and sorted out the evidence that would not bear weight in court. In the end, he fought my case in trial and did very well in court considering the other party was fighting for full physical and full legal with me only having my son every other weekend. My son is 16 months old and I now have both joint physical and joint legal custody of him in a state that is often seen as a mother-favoring state. I am so excited to move on with our lives and now have a future with my son that is no longer limited and I am so grateful for Mr. Crawford's efforts and patience for my case. I definitely recommend him.

Having never been involved in a divorce proceeding before, Patrick Crawford put me at ease, explained fully up front what to expect in this adversarial situation, my rights and obligations, time constraints, data required, court procedure, and costs involved. Timely communications between attorney a...nd client was of the essence, and my attorney fully complied in all respects. He was always available to answer any questions and to alert me to the next step in the process. He was fully trustworthy which was very important to me. And he was clearly competent in his knowledge and application of the law. He seemed to be highly respected by his peers both at the courthouse and among opposing counsel. The fact that he is a sole practitioner, I believe, stood him in good stead with me because I felt I was receiving his full attention and the closeness of his office to the court house further expedited his responses to the court with minimum delay and expense.

Patrick Crawford provided succinct and salient guidance throughout my case. His advise was consistently reliable well-timed and valuable. I received clear explanations of the implications of my alternatives. His responsiveness was outstanding. Every response was always timely. I am not by any means a... "big" client yet I received a superior level of service

Patrick took on my divorce and child custody case after I had spent more than two years and lots of money with another attorney, trying to finalize a divorce and custody agreement. I found him knowledgeable about the process and the law. I appreciated how quickly he got up to speed on the details o...f my particular situation, and settled on an approach and strategy for how to continue with my proceedings. Due to some legal work and filings already being completed in my case, in some cases, Patrick had to deal first with those, and then move on to the next step in his own strategy. It made for a more difficult case, I believe, but he negotiated the system and the steps with ease, discussing options with me, educating me on how things work, and working with me to make the best decisions. I appreciated his advice and time. In the end, Patrick took more than two years of legal work that had been handled by another attorney, sorted through it all and decided how best to re-try my case, and worked with me to get a solid, favorable divorce settlement and custody arrangement, within a very favorable timeframe.
