William Howard Crawford

Mr. Crawford provided excellent counsel to me regarding my bankruptcy and foreclosure. This was a very difficult process and was a result of my divorce. I am very thankful for such excellent legal advise which really helped me transition through divorce and have a fresh start. Very pleased with the results I received.

Mr. Crawford is currently working on my company's behalf against a large US Corporation & a vendor which I used last Christmas. The impact of my losses ARE huge & Mr. Crawford understands the impact of my loss as a small business. I am very optimistic about my outcome. I have already referred Mr. Crawford to other friends & colleagues & will continue to do so.

William had a short period of time to review our needs, schedule court date and prepare for court hearing. He was on top of the issues and presented our case to the superior judge in a very organized and professional manner. He kept us informed and was always available to answere our questions.

Filing bankruptcy was the last thing I had ever imagined (or wanted) to do in my life. After researching throughout Tallahassee attorneys, I knew Mr. Crawford was the one that I wanted to represent me from the moment I spoke to him. When I first called, he immediately took my phone call. I was a complete stranger and he guided me through the entire process - at no charge. He made this difficult and life changing event easy, stress-free and simple. He guided me through every step of the process - from start to finish - with the utmost concern, integrity and thoroughness. The entire bankruptcy filing went exactly as Mr. Crawford told me in my first conversation. I am so grateful for his expertise and guidance through this very emotional and difficult process. As a result of his professionalism and insights through the bankruptcy process I was able to get my life back and completely start over. Mr. Crawford is definitely the one that you want you to walk through the bankruptcy. He made the the financially difficulties and emotional process of filing bankruptcy liberating and hassle-free. Two of the best decisions I ever made were choosing Mr. Crawford as my legal counsel and making the decision to file bankruptcy. Mr. Crawford is defintely a gem in his field and the coach you want for guidance and support in the bankruptcy process.

I was reluctant to file for bankruptcy because of complicated circumstances and fear of the outcome. Billy helped me to understand that it was the right thing to do. I also have a tendency to procrastinate. Billy guided me throughout the process as well as pushed me to get everything done on time. He acted more like a friend than an attorney. I am very appreciative that I found Billy and will continue to use him in the future for other life affairs.

I went to Mr. Crawford in December about filing Chapter 7 and he very quickly jumped on the case. We filed an emergency Chapter 7 before the end of the year. Within in a few days Mr. Crawford had everything set up and in order. He kept me informed the whole way through and guided me along the way. He is very knowledgeable of the process and it lead to a very easy and convient Bankruptcy for me as the client. It is unfortunate to have to take the Bankruptcy route but Mr Crawford made it a pleasant experience. I highly recommend Mr. Crawford to anyone seeking to file Bankruptcy.

Mr. Crawford has been my family's attorney since moving to Tallahassee 14 years ago. He and his staff have assisted us with a variety of legal matters over the years. Mr. Crawford is very knowledgeable , always courteous and prompt when working with us. I would recommend Mr. Crawford to anyone seeking trustworthy, expert legal assistance.

I want to extend my deepest thanks for all services provided on my behalf by William “Billy” Crawford, Attorney at Law. My case consisted of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy that was tied to a complex array of circumstances that culminated in severely overextending my capacity to meet my financial obligations. The origins of which beginning as early as 2005 and escalating out of control subsequent to the 2008 real estate crash in which I became irretrievably over-burdended by several mortgages/real estate investments that plummeted in value. Although left demoralized by an initial ill-fated attempt to personally negotiate a loan modification with one of the key lending institutions involved in my case, upon my initial consultation with Mr. Crawford, he quickly grasped my plight and set the wheels in motion with recommendations that conveyed a cogent plan of action. Much needed and appreciated at the time! Throughout the ensuing months, despite often left confused/frustrated/bemused, etc. by the legal and financial processes involved in a complicated Chapter 7 bankruptcy, Mr. Crawford remained unerringly "cool in the clutch" and provided spot-on legal advice as the momentum shifted to and fro, not to mention lending an unflappable, leveling influence at the darkest and most emotionally trying moments. Invariably, Mr. Crawford's explanations of complicated matters were clear and concise, he was never flippant, and he always conducted himself in a professional and business-like manner. I also deeply appreciated the fact that Mr. Crawford was quick to reply via email (if not by phone), and always made himself available with reasonable notice. His staff person was also easy to work with in terms of scheduling and in execution of her assigned clerical duties. It's also important to note that Mr. Crawford provided one-to-one counsel and never sent an associate or paralegal to perform his duties, despite working in opposition to a team of attorneys, backed by the considerable resources afforded by virtue of representing at least two corporate financial institutions who made efforts to contest my case. For example, he unhesitatingly devoted the time to personally attend the deposition of my CPA in order to gain a strategic sense of the approach the opposition would take in pursuing my deposition that was conducted the week following. In retrospect, compared to what I feared would eventually accrue outrageous sums in retainers and hourly fees demanded by many peers (particularly in light of the nature of bankruptcy cases and the limited funds available to hire a competent professional), Mr. Crawford's fees for the top-shelf services and personal attention he provided was an unqualified bargain and well worth the investment. If not limited by the very factors that landed me at his door in the first place and armed with the benefit of hindsight in regard to the time he invested and manner with which he handled my case from start to finish, I would not have been shocked to pay upwards of twice the amount he commanded. Undoubtedly, the impact this process has had on my life has been profound in all respects and with this tumultuous chapter mercifully all but concluded, I'm left exhausted. Yet, all to Mr. Crawford's credit, not without hope for a far, far more financially sensible and contented future. To put it another way, if my saga were book-worthy, I would have undoubtedly invited Mr. Crawford to co-author the work or, in the very least, be recipient of kudos/special tribute in its prologue. In sum, the process tried my every nerve and was one I'd not wish upon my worst enemy, yet it was a journey for which I'm thankful for entrusting Mr. Crawford as my chief confidant/adviser! With the sincerest respect and utmost humility, I remain most grateful for his assistance and would unequivocally recommend William Crawford's services to any one with similar needs.

Billy has been a trusted advisor to my husband and me over the past ten years. He has handled all of our legal needs from preparing our wills to negotiating real estate matters. Through it all, Billy was knowledgable and reliant, always available to answer our questions and or calm the nerves. I would (and have) highly recommend him to anyone seeking competent and caring counsel.

I have used Billy Crawford on several occasions regarding Business Contracts and Wills. I always found him to be a pleasure to work with and knowledgeable. He handled my needs in a professional and timely manner and fees were reasonable.

My wife and I met with William (Billy) to set up wills/living wills for ourselves. He and his staff could not have been more professional, honest, and easygoing with the process. I highly recommend Billy for anyone who is looking for an honest attorney.
