Unprofessional, Condescending Attorney Threatened to Call Police on me for complaining about court no-show

I hired Attorney Crews to represent me on a traffic ticket that I received in connection with traffic accident in November 2020. He was very communicative when we contracted and made arrangements for payments, but did little else after that. My wife and I immediately stressed to him that it would be ...important to get footage from traffic cameras at the intersection in question when we hired him in mid-November 2020 .He took a look at the ticket I received and said that he had contacts at the prosecutors office and would be able to get this dismissed right away. By early December he still had not requested that the footage be preserved. He consequently was unable to secure the footage, compromising my ability to defend against the charges. Instead, he called to tell us that he'd gotten a copy of the report----which my wife and I had already gotten a copy of on our own. Between 2021 and January 2024 we only heard from attorneys or assistants that worked with Mr. Crews and not Mr. Crews himself, we reached out to him ourselves. In February 2024, I finally had my court date in municipal court, Mr. Crews told us that he would not be able to attend but would send another attorney in his stead. We had a quick phone call with that attorney, Attorney Harrell, the day before court to introduce her to us but not having any meaningful convo about the substance of the case. On the court date, Attorney Harrell was late and by the time she showed, I had negotiated a diversion for myself. My wife and I told her that we no longer needed her/Mr. Crew's services and walked away. When I got home, I saw a missed call from Attorney Crews (he had called my house phone while he should have known I was at my court date). I called him back and he immediately began telling me-- a 63 year-old man- that he was very upset with me and that I had "belittled" his fiance. ((Turns out that Attorney Harrell was his fiance and not just a colleague). He then threatened to call the police if I contacted him again and hung up the phone in my face. He's been dodging my calls and voicemails ever since and has been non-responsive to my request for a refund. This is not the way a lawyer or a man should handle business.

This review is half-truths and alleges conduct so clearly and offensively unethical that despite my disappointment and disagreement with this review, a lawyer's duty to keep client confidences has few exceptions and in an abundance of caution I do not feel at liberty to respond in a point by point fashion in this forum.

Best Attorney ever!!!!

Ahmad Crews is a phenomenal attorney and I say that with much respect. He is very professional and loyal. He worked so hard on my son’s appeal case and he never gave up. He went above and beyond our expectations. He would always keep us informed which made us feel at ease. He would always answer ever...y call if I have questions or concerns. I remember when I first hired him I was feeling down about my son’s situation and he gave me some very encouraging words that I will always appreciate. In the end we won our appeal case yayyyyyyyyy!!!!! If it wasn’t for his dedication and skills things could have went differently. If you are looking for a highly dependable professional attorney, Ahmad Crews is your guy without a doubt! Thank you so much we really appreciate your firm.

Was hopeful at first

Just want be helpful for anyone in a tough situation… My boyfriend is facing pretty harsh charges so we wanted to go with the best lawyer we could find. His response time and communication is great, at first. We tried to be patient and understanding since he was working on the early steps of the case..., however days would go by where we were left with no response to calls/texts all of sudden. This would happen especially after we were able to pay him in full for three whole charges. SO THEN.. out of nowhere with less than seven days until his court date Mr. Crews withdrawals from the case completely. He offers a refund amount minus over 1k to pay other attorneys that “helped” but honestly it felt like we hadn’t gotten anywhere with anything besides getting a court date. Also, the way he did the refund right before the weekend will now take days for my bank to make the funds accessible so we can pay another lawyer. Like why not just write a check.. when I paid him i’m sure he had the money right away. So now we are having to push the court date out another month.. just more dead time that he’s sitting in jail… we all know that’s just more time and money being taken away from me being able to prepare for my child on the way. Clearly it wasn’t meant to be with this attorney, so I’m thankful he was moved away from our path. He could’ve been more considerate, responsive, and also from consulting with other attorneys, there’s different approaches and strategies that they’re mentioning that Ahmad just never said anything about. If you’re looking, just don’t be hasty.

Dear Anonymous, We are sorry to learn of your experience. Please note that when circumstances arise that prevent Mr. Crews from continuing a case, it is our law firm’s policy to immediately communicate two options to our clients: Offer the client to place another attorney that’s associated with our law firm as lead counsel, while Mr. Crews serves as back-up counsel, at no extra charge, or we will issue a refund, if the client prefers. When a client chooses to accept a refund, in accordance with our refund policy, fees for a pre-employment jail visit are non-refundable once the jail visit is completed. Additionally, earned fees from time spent on a case are non-refundable. Please note all refunds are issued in the form in which payments are made. The timeframe in which a refund posts to a client’s account is dependent on the client’s banking institution. Here at the Law Office of Ahmad R. Crews, we strive to deliver high quality customer service to all of our clients. We greatly appreciate your feedback and will use your feedback to improve and continue to provide high quality legal representation to our clients.

Best to Ever Do it!

If you are looking for an attorney, Ahmad R. Crews is your guy! Mr. Crews exceeded our family's expectations with his professionalism, knowledge, work ethic, and level of integrity. Mr. Crews is a man of his word; he takes pride in building his brand and reputation. I can promise you that you will no...t be disappointed with the level of work that you receive! In my search for an attorney, I spoke to at least six other lawyers, and none of them gave me as much confidence in their abilities as Ahmad R. Crews. His services were affordable, and his record impeccable. Mr. Crew and his legal assistant kept a clear line of communication, always made sure to keep us in the loop, and went above and beyond to answer any questions we had. Mr. Crews was prepared for court months in advance of our court date. He has an extraordinary eye for detail, understands his client's needs, and does not disappoint! He has a gift for painting a picture to the court of what occurred, and he does not let up when put under pressure. Mr. Crews is an active listener and a fantastic communicator. Our case was a bit unusual because we were pressing criminal charges, not receiving them, and all of this occurred throughout the entire pandemic. There was a great deal of waiting for rescheduling due to the court system, but we were kept in the loop no matter what happened. When the court date finally came around, I felt so confident in Mr. Crews's abilities that all of my nerves were relieved. The presentation that he gave to the court was so impressive and well-done that everyone clapped for him! The judge himself also made a point of complimenting him, saying that he was the most prepared, well-spoken attorney that they have ever seen in that courtroom, and thanked him for his ability to use the technology provided seamlessly. Look no further! You've found your attorney!

Highly recommended Attorney !!

I was represented better than I could have ever imagined. My needs were put first and was treated as a friend rather than a number. My opinions were valued and my doubts were always reassured. My nerves were calmed and the process was always explained. Mr.Ahmad Crews fought hard for me.He went above ...and beyond and did everything he could to ensure a great outcome. I couldn't have asked for a better law firm or attorney. Thank you so much Mr.Crews . Me and my family are grateful for what you have done for us .
