License Restored

Twelve years after a DUI that led to losing my license, Cody Crane helped me close that dark chapter of my life. His approach was not only professional but also deeply personal. With meticulous attention to detail, Cody navigated the complexities of my case, demonstrating a commitment that went beyon...d the call of duty. Cody's ability to connect personally was a key factor in this journey. He understood the significance of regaining my license not just as a legal victory but as a crucial step in moving forward from past mistakes. His dedication was remarkable. He invested extra time and effort, clearly focused on achieving the best possible outcome for me. Thanks to Cody, I have my license back, symbolizing more than just the ability to drive …it represents a fresh start and the closure of a challenging period in my life. Cody Crane is not just an attorney, he's a pivotal figure in turning a new page in his clients' lives.

Excellent

I hired Cody awhile back for a 4th DUI, he was very thorough of what to expect and what could happen and it turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Never had a problem getting in touch with him or his office and everything worked out great!!

"I endorse Attorney Crane. I have come to know Attorney Crane through the Kalamazoo County Bar Association's Young Lawyers Section, which he is heavily involved in. At this point Attorney Crane is just beginning his career, however he shows a great enthusiasm for the practice, and he is learning from and has worked for a great mentor in Attorney Gary E. Tibble for the last several years. From what I have seen personally in Court and through the Kalamazoo County Bar Association, there is no doubt in my mind that Attorney Crane brings a caring attitude and high level of professionalism to each of his clients. At the end of the day, those characteristics have made and will continue to make him an effective criminal defense attorney that is well respected by his clients and peers on the Bar / Bench alike."

  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education

  • 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.
