Eric C. Crawford

After my arrest for DUI I was scared of what would happen, and I thought my life as I knew it was over. Once I talked to Eric I started to feel better about the whole situation. Unlike the other lawyers I consulted Eric gave me a ton of information over the phone. The other lawyers just told me I ...needed to pay them money before they would tell me anything. Eric had such a relaxed attitude, and at one point told me "look I think I can help you get a good result, but if you feel more comfortable with someone else you should go with them because this is probably one of the most important decisions of your life." Well I went with Eric and it paid off big time. He got the evidence quickly and gave me copies of everything. He filed motions to suppress the evidence and when we had the hearing with the jduge, Eric owned the courtroom. Anyone in the courtroom could tell that Eric was so much more on top of the facts and law than the prosecutor or even the judge. At the end of his argument the judge ruled in our favor and said the evidence was illegal so the DUI was dismissed!!!! Eric was right because hiring him was one of the most important decisions of my life. I'm glad I made the right decision.

I, unfortunately, had the pleasure of passing through Walton county late one night after working an event in Athens. I pulled up to a DUI check point and since I had no prior knowledge of the best way to respond in a checkpoint, I consented to a breathalyzer and blew a .086. The Walton County Offic...ers high-fived and I went to jail. Fast forward to when I needed to hire a lawyer, I read some great reviews about Mr. Crawford and after striking out with other lawyers due to their costs being so astronomical, I decided to give him a call. He was extremely informative over the phone, making sure that he was extremely clear of my options and the odds of the gamble/politics that I was currently engulfed. He was very attentive to my situations and always responded with sincere kindness and empathy regarding my predicament. Due to my work and family schedule it was very hard to find a court date that worked. Eric was able to push my court date back approximately 5-6 months in order to find a date that worked for me. Once we were in court together, he worked out a deal with the prosecutor and the best they were willing to give me was a reduction to wreckless driving. At first, the a few terms were extremely difficult for me to achieve. They wanted me to spend a Saturday doing community service back at the jail and take a DUI course Friday thru Sunday. Almost all of my Friday through Sundays consist of working several jobs 12-15 hours of each day. If I can't work on a Saturday, it doesn't go over so well with my employer. Eric was able to speak to the judge and switch my DUI course to a Defensive Driving course which could be taken during the week M-F, was only one day in class instead of three and where the costs were much cheaper than the DUI course. He also was able to get the judge to swap my one day of community service for an additional 8 hours added to my 40 hour community service sentencing. The best news in this debacle is that with me having completed all requirements within the first 5 months of probation, Eric was able to get the judge to terminate my probation after 6 months. Mr. Crawford has been nothing but helpful in my case and has always been extremely quick to respond to my emails. He, like me, is extremely hard to get on the phone with our schedule, but I had full confidence that although we didn't speak much outside of email, he was always following through with what he promised. Unfortunately, I was not in the best of situations like some of his other clients where the police acted incorrectly and as a result the case was dropped, but Eric did the absolute best he could do within the case and the result was much better than it possibly could have been if I had represented myself out there. Thanks so much Mr. Crawford for taking my case.

To bad I even have to write this review. But It is my complete pleasure to explain my situation. One afternoon in April of 2013 I made a terrible mistake and had a drink and decided to get behind the wheel . I lived and worked in Norcross GA. My home is in NE AL and I traveled a lot. Got my bail post...ed I realized I was going to need representation in court. Mr. Crawford's office reached out to me and I was able to have all of my questions answered quickly and professionally. Suffice to say even though it took about a year to have our day in court, Mr. Crawford did a wonderful job explaining my logistical problems. And with all this time that had passed many things changed in my life. I lost my job in Georgia and worst of all I was diagnosed with stage three throat cancer. It was debilitating. 35 radiation treatments and 8 weeks on chemo. There was no way I could make it to GA to appear in front of a judge. Mr. Crawford and his professional staff assured me that he would be able to take care of me and my case. Well, it is finally finished. I got my day in court and I'm finished with my cancer treatments. I have a long fight ahead of me to keep this disease out of my life, but If there was one thing I wish I could say to everyone that has a chance to read this. Eric Crawford is a wonderful attorney and if I had any way to have him as one of my Oncologists I would be eternally grateful. If you ever need legal representation I highly recommend Mr. Crawford. Professional, ethical, kind, and very reasonable when it comes to fees.

I hired Mr. Crawford as defense attorney for my son's criminal charges. Eric is a very skilled, competent attorney and he has spent a lot of time on my son's case . I am extremely pleased with his representation, both in and out of the courtroom. Eric has gone to great lengths and fought hard to ...assure that my son received the best outcome possible for his situation. Eric is always available to listen and answer my questions and concerns, of which there were many. He returns phone calls and emails promptly, even after business hours. His efforts have enabled my son to gain access to treatment, which I am very grateful. I highly recommend Eric Crawford as a defense attorney.
