Laurie Crawford Excellent Counsel

Laurie Crawford represented me in a divorce case/PSA that benefited me and my three children very well. She comes prepared, is thoughtful of all parties involved with a focus on client's best interest, and works hard on client's behalf to resolve the case expeditiously and fair. We appeared back in ...court 2 years after the initial settlement because the children's mother wanted more child support after being unfairly paid for full custody, when we had joint custody. We won the follow-on case reducing my support ny 40%.

Job well done

Laurie was very helpful in dealing with my case. She made sure that all of my needs were met and answered every possible question that i had. An excellent advocate for anyone dealing with a divorce.

Overall Incredible!

Laurie has been amazing! Her professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine nature gave me such comfort in allowing her to represent me through a difficult child custody situation. She gave honest answers to all of my questions, guiding me truthfully through an unfamiliar process, giving me often ...difficult, but candid responses needed to make appropriate financial, relational, and practical decisions. Her dedication to helping me see my daughter has been nothing short of incredible. If I had to do this all over again, I would choose her each time!

Divorce Proceedings

Ms. Crawford served as my counsel during my divorce proceedings. She has been very patient in working with me as I have had a very robust business travel schedule and am not very organized. She gave me some advice on splitting property/finances with my spouse that I did not fully accept at the time a...nd I am now upset for not pursuing some of the options she recommended. She did have my interest at heart and always explained court/legal documents in more understandable terms. If I had this to do over again, I would select Ms. Crawford again.

Divorce Lawyer

Prompt in communicating, not easily intimated by the opposing council. Very well versed in Virginia law, she was never stumped and won a few hard fought battles for me. I'll gladly use Mrs. Crawford again for any child custody related issues I may have in the future.
