My life has been about making things happen ... without regard to the odds or the difficulty. Experience. Knowledge. Relentlessness. This is my commitment to you!
Relentlessness:
I worked full time and put myself through x-ray school which took 2 years. When finished, I worked full time and put myself through a degree in chemistry and bio-chemistry. When finished, I worked full time - in Huntsville, AL - and put myself through law school - in Birmingham, AL. I drove over 200 miles, round trip, every day for 3 years to complete this last effort.
Knowledgeable:
I worked in the medical field for 13 years doing trauma and surgical x-rays. Additionally, I used my chemistry degree by working in the nuclear consulting industry prior to going to law school. I have now (May 2013) worked as an attorney for 15 years.
Experience:
18 years. Thousands of cases. Approximately 3000 DUI cases alone. I have tried numerous jury trials including, but not limited to assault charges, burglary, rape, DUI, drugs (including drug trafficking and possession) and murder cases.
Practice areas
I have defended well over 2000 DUI cases.
24 years, 7,000 cases
I have gotten custody for many fathers in custody disputes.

Larry Marsili, DUI and DWI Attorney on Apr 17, 2013
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. I've actually seen him have jury trials on 3 different DUI cases. Mr. Crumbley did an excellent job in all aspects--everything from striking the jury to his closing arguments were smooth, clear and personable. It is clear that he is well-familiar with the law and how it applies in the cases he handles!
Mark Hopper, DUI and DWI Attorney on Mar 30, 2016
Relationship: Opposing Counsel on matter
As a former prosecutor the best endorsement I can give Mr. Crumbley is that I hated to see him walking into Court. I knew that whatever case he was on I would have to be ready on. He was always prepared and fought to achieve the best outcome for his client. I highly recommend him to anyone needing representation on a DUI or any criminal case for that matter. In addition he is a man of integrity and Christian values.

Relationship: Worked together on matter
I endorse this lawyer. Mr. Crumbley and I have a mutual client in which he represented the client's criminal-defense interests and I simultaneously represented the client's immigration interests. Mr. Crumbley came prepared for the criminal trial. Mr. Crumbley considered my input on the immigration consequences of any criminal plea bargain though he did not have to do so. He rejected thr plea-bargain offer after discussing it with the client. He tried the case to an acquittal. The client is happy and I am happy. I will work with Mr. Crumbley in the future any time.
