This review is from a person who hired this attorney.

Excellent representation

I highly recommend Southern Legal. Mr. Crew and his staff are extremely knowledgeable and care about their clients. They went above and beyond representing my husband and I on a case that had many unexpected twists and turns. They were steadfast in working to insure that we received what we were d...ue from the other party.

Top Notch Representation

I have used Mike and Jill crew for about 10 years now, they are probably the best lawyers I know. They have tremendous strategies to deal with situations that always arise. They are committed to their clients as I have seen them at their office at any given time of the day, working relentlessly.
