Family Law? This is the place!

Mr. Crane was so kind and so very efficient in helping us to adopt our baby girl. This was a complicated case with many factors that required special attention to details and a specific knowledge of the laws pertaining to our case. After the trial, the judge privately told us that our lawyer had done... an outstanding job in preparing the order. He ruled in our favor and we were on our way with our beautiful baby girl. Thanks again, Mr. Crane, for all the effort, love, care, and attention you gave to our situation. Highly recommend.

Director

I have worked with Stewart for over 13 years, and have been impressed by his vast knowledge in the adoption field. He has more years of experience in our area than any other attorney working in adoptions. He has handled very complicated matters and has the extensive expertise in a varied amount of c...ases. I would highly recommend him for your legal work!!

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • 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.
