Richard David Crabb

Richard is all about the money and directs his clients to go against court orders which could put you at risk of getting in trouble with the courts. He will lie to proof his case and cover up his lies. Instead of being an honest lawyer and directing his clients to do what is right, he rather make fam...ilies suffer to benefit himself. I would go with a lawyer who is going to be open, honest and at least TRY to keep things civil for the sake of ALL who is involved. He loves the drama and any lawyer who loves to make things worse for his clients and all who are involved (even children) should not be lawyer. He would rather destroy in innocent father than help resolve civil matters the right way.

Where do I start? I hired Richard almost 2 years ago and I had no idea what to expect with a custody battle. I wish these custody battles upon no one. They are an emotionally roller coaster. Richard kept me in the loop on everything and explained to me everything that was happening or could happen. H...e listened to all my cares and concerns and if he wasn't available anyone in the office would help out as well. I started this ride with Richard by only getting 1.5 hours at the mothers convenience at her house then 4 hours at my parents to 8 hours on my days off. We continued to fight for more time and for the best interest of my daughter. After 2 years of court and mediation my daughters mother and I couldn't agree on anything so we left it in the judges hands. I felt confident about because of all the time and effort Richard and his team put in. As of July 15th of 2019 I got almost 50/50 custody and child support dropped substantially . I would highly recommend Richard if anyone has to go through any family law matter.

I am a father of 2 children Son(17) and Daughter(5). I was in a situation that I did not have a high expectation of persuading the court to rule in favor of my position. Single Father and all in MN. I presented my position to Richard in the comfort of their office, after interviewing multiple fir...ms here in the twin cities, some of which even charged for me to find out that I did not feel comfortable with them representing my family. I had a clear line of communication with my lawyer any time I had a concern. I had a response back within the same day, if not 24hours. After collecting all necessary information, Richard and I set expectations and laid out a strategy we both, mostly Richard agreed upon. I felt like I was doing the right thing. I wasn’t even going to fight this fight. I felt comfortable with the expectation and we engaged the process at the correct time. It was very apparent that Richard has done this many times. He was very natural, confident, and comfortable in the court room. By this time however, so much work had been done that I was even feeling relieved to be in the court room. The documentation that was presented was done so well that the court made its decision in less than 30 days. I also should mention that it was drafted in such a way that even an appeal process would be very unlikely to cause concern. In the end the court did rule in favor of my position and even enforced some peripheral items that I had no intention or expectation of ever getting made right. If you want a firm with exceptional results (single father getting ruled in favor for 5 yr old daughter for example) this is a firm you should spend some time with, and share your story with any one of the staff. I started with a phone interview with Jeff Priest and was very impressed. I even called a second time for a bit more insight then came in and really got to know the team. It may cost a few dollars yes, but this is a life decision and they are big picture folks. And on that note, I would also add that no price can be put on giving a child the best opportunity possible, yet the cost of doing so with Priest Law Firm was much less than I ever expected. Thank you! Thank you! Not much more can be done but invite this team to a family dinner in 25 years when my daughter is doing whatever she achieves!
