The Best

We here at Sweet Puff are VERY thankful to Chris Crawford for his hard work on our CBD case!!! This man has gone above and beyond for us and we truly do appreciate it. Our case is not over yet, it's going to be a while before it is, but knowing we have a stellar attorney like Chris Crawford on our si...de brings some MUCH needed relief to our lives!!! Thank you Chris Crawford for everything that you have done and continue to do to help keep an innocent man from ending up in prison. CBD should never have anyone locked up for 25 to life!!! Thank you for fighting the good fight for us!!! We HIGHLY recommend the law office of Chris Crawford, this man KNOWS what he is doing!!! From Ned and all of us here at Sweet puff!!

Chris Crawford highly skilled goes the extra mile

Chris Crawford is a 5 star attorney who is there for his client 24/7. He navigated the JAG military system to dismiss an erroneous traffic misdemeanor and false arrest- the charge was going to cause me to lose a high federal job offer - look no further Hire Chris Crawford - his skill along with his r...elationships with prosecutors and the courts will give you the result you desire. Highest recommendation !! Thank you Chris !!

Extremely Professional and Highly Intelligent Attorney

Mr. Crawford goes above and beyond expectations, and his staff are experts in their fields. Chris and his team were able to get a felony charged dismissed without having to go the trial by going the extra mile and conducting the necessary due diligence to address the matter. He was able to convince t...he State that this was the correct decision based on the evidence, and the judge agreed as well. I would not recommend any other attorney for a criminal case in the Gulf Coast. Mr. Crawford legitimately cares about his clients and isn't just in it to collect fees. He has great energy, charisma, and confidence in the court room. You will not regret hiring Chris Crawford to represent you.

  • 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.
