Posted by Mang | December 18, 2022 | Hired Attorney | DUI & DWI

Lose Case

Do not hire this lawyer. Before 45 days My husband is going to be arrested for DUI and he said he will pay the attorney $14,000 if he wants to win or clear the case. They said they would win, but my husband will be arrest. We lose the money and case . He never answered my emails or phone calls but... did nothing to my husband. The ladies in the office are late to reply and never call you. We live in Florida and it is impossible to make it to the courthouse in one day. So my husband spent over $600 to fly to nashville. I am having a hard time not being able to work with a newborn baby. Never hire this attorney. Don’t spend too much money for useless lawyer.

Very professional and dedicated to clients

Seth was superb at explaining my legal options in a no nonsense way. After giving me the information to make an informed decision as well as his recommendations, he made it clear he would stand by whatever choice I made. Super professional and confident, it was comforting knowing I could go home ...and let him handle the legal details. At a very stressful time, Seth made my defense one less thing to worry about.

Unknown lawyer | Sep 04

Relationship: Worked together on matter

"Seth is diligent, intelligent, and zealous advocate for his clients but in a no-nonsense and approachable manner. Ultimately, he is the kind of attorney who no other attorney wants to face in court, but the first name on the list if ever in need of legal counsel or advice. He passionately pursues obtaining the best results for his clients and I would highly recommend his services to anyone in need of an advocate in the law."

Criminal defense lawyer | Dec 15

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have known Mr. Crabtree personally since he attended law school at the University of Tennessee and was a member of the school's prestigious Phi Alpha Delta Mock Trial Team. Only 8 students are selected from the entire student body each year to complete on behalf of the University. Mr. Crabtree's courtroom skills are exactly the type you would want if you were charged with a crime. He understands the system, knows how the judges think, and does an excellent job of putting his client's best foot forward. I have referred several clients to Mr. Crabree over the years and my clients have been pleased with Mr. Crabtree's service and courtroom fight. The best lawyers don't come cheap. He is certainly worth every penny of his fee."
