NOT a professional

I would not recomand this lawyer.I paid her a lot money for truly no representation, drawing out my divorce. She was a waste of time. She doesn't care about her clients, other than when it comes to her fees. She sent me an email for a different client while I was waiting for an explanation for my cas...e. Unprofessional. I paid her $3500 and I was referred by the county for help. . What a waste of time and money. I wish I read the reviews before I met her.

Horrible-do not retain!

Laurie Crawford was a complete failure in my divorce case. She was a consistently poor communicator, tending to only return phone calls after repeated efforts to contact her, her associate, and her assistant. For the last month, I did not have a meaningful conversation with her about discovery docume...nts - a time-sensitive matter-despite repeated calls and emails. She further stood me up for a phone appointment and never called to reschedule or apologize. My case is now six months behind where it should be.

A very helpful and understanding law firm

I am from out of state and had a custody case with my ex husband who lives in Virginia. Laurie and Anne took the time to talk to me for over an hour before I even hired them! The understanding and warmth I felt while speaking to them put me completely at ease! I knew immediately that they genuinely c...ared about me and my situation, even though we had never met in person. They kept me in the loop consistently and I never felt like I didn't know what was going on. I am so pleased with the work they did for me and the advice I was given. I highly recommend these very compassionate and understanding women!

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.

Excellent Attorney

Laurie Crawford is a very intelligent, competent and compassionate attorney. She kept me informed throughout the entire process, always giving me all the information necessary to make the decisions I needed to make in a timely manner. She respected my feelings while always staying focused on what ...needed to be done. The cases she deals with are innately emotional, and she does a very good job of acknowledging that but also conveying the necessity of moving through the process. Her knowledge and support during a difficult time were invaluable.
