Patrick Joseph Crawford

I have been working with Patrick for over a year on my divorce. He has at all times been engaged, efficient, and patient. I'm sure each case presents challenges and mine is no different. Patrick has walked me through each step in the process, taking the time to explain when I needed clarification. I ...would and have recommended him.

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.

Patrick Crawford is one of the best lawyers I have ever met. He paid close attention to detial, was extremely professional, and very personable. During a difficult divorce process, he made sure to make the process smooth and worry free. He took complete control and succeeded beyond expectations. ...Besides his prestigious education, Patrick also has a solid demeanour in the courtroom. As a medical professional, success during the process was of the upmost imprtance and Patrick delivered. I highly recommend him to anyone in the Maryland/DC area.

I highly recommend Mr. Crawford to anyone who need divorce attorney, I found him when I was desperate and he help me through very tough times and outcome was so much better then I expected, I was able to contact him whenever I needed him, He always returned my calls promptly and I was very very happ...y with his service.

I have worked with many many attorneys in my high conflict custody case for years. Mr. Crawford is THE absolute worse example of a quality attorney. He could not even stand behind his own legal work. He quits in the middle of litigation. He does not follow through with his commitments. He does not p...rovide client a copy of court documents. He does not respect the client has the authority to make decisions. He made decisions without speaking to the client. When client asked for specific corrective request, he was explicitly defiant and would not respect nor comply with the reasonable request. He significantly overcharges. He charged for going to a printer 39 miles away from his office instead of using a printer company within the local community while charging $1.50 for parking. Pat demonstrated unremarkable petty penny pincher practices!! He would NOT use an Appeal service provider client requested, so he could pocket the excessive fees he charged. He charged over $20K in less than 5 months. He used the limited appeal spacing for unnecessary items. He made 8 points of contact in 2 hours to gain more funds even though I was timely with payments. This harassment occurred on more than one occasion. He is rude, condescending, and disrespectful. These few problem listed above only touches the top surface. An Attorney Grievance Complaint will be filed. Check his AGC record. If it were not for the AGC, Crawford would have not provided his initial work and I would have grounds in my case. He still managed to make me lose ground by not complying with clients reasonable requests. There is nothing more frustrating than to pay $20k and to get an approximate 1/3 of the work that was paid for. Save yourself a headache. Do not hire!!! If I could offer a 0 star rating, that would have been too high of rating.
