Savior during housing crisis

While selling my house during the housing market collapse and after losing my job, Mr. Crossman spent many hours going over options with me. He took the time to speak with my mortgage company and my realtor. Mr. Crossman was walking me through each and every step of the process. His patience with ...me and ability to put ease into stressful situations was remarkable. Mr. Crossman never once gave me a feeling of helplessness. He was going to take care of me and nothing was going to stop him. I will always have a special place in my heart for Mr. Crossman. One of the most stressful and upsetting situations in my life was more bearable because of Jeff.

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.
