The best criminal defense lawyer

Nobody compares to David Boyle and his firm. Over the past 10 years, David has been my go-to for any issue I have encountered. From minor misdemeanors (such as speeding/DUI) to major felonies, he has given me a 100% satisfaction rate for every possible scenario. His experience has spared me jail time... and probation on a number of occasions. Clear, concise, and highly intelligent are just a few words to describe him. I could go on for hours about how he and his firm have changed my life for the better. In short, we all make mistakes, but ensure you have the right defense because not all outcomes are equal. If you want the best out of your situation, he's your guy.

If you have an issue I would recommend using him! David has the willingness, along with the knowledge to help you, and good co...mmunication if you need to reach out. I Highly Recommend David Boyle! Thank you, David!

Great Lawyer

Crawford and Boyle were recommended to me by a lawyer friend who did not practice the type of law I needed. They are knowledgeable, well connected in the community and have a great report with the clients. They had a fair price for what I needed done and gave me several options on how to pay. They we...re quick on their side with getting the correct forms filed and the right hearings set up. The county solicitor on the other hand was very slow and the entire process took over 2 years to be resolved. Despite the extended time to resolve my case, David Boyle was very thorough in keeping me informed and up to date. He made me feel confident that their plan to have my charges dismissed would be the inevitable outcome and he was right. I do not plan on needing an attorney again in my lifetime, but if I do I will definitely be contacting them again.

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
