Going Above and Beyond

I called Mr. Crews office praying that I could catch someone before they left for the day. It was after 5 o’clock when I unexpectedly had the need for legal representation. His secretary answered and immediately put me through to him. I explained my circumstances and he agreed to take the case. He a...lso told me to go ahead and come on into his office. When I arrived, he immediately began to work the case with me making after hours phone calls and going through stacks of paperwork. It was after 8PM when I left his office because it was too late to do anything else. He assured me that he would start on it again at 7:40 the next morning and would be calling me to let me know what was going on. He held his promise and called me by 7:45. Within three hours the matter was settled and the case closed. I don’t know many lawyers who are willing to work after hours and make personal phone calls for you. I appreciate everything Chris was able to do for me. He is friendly and outgoing and I strongly recommend him.

To say he is horrible is an understatement

This just may be the worst lawyer out there. I paid him up front and all I received was messed up files that I had to call about to get changed. When I called I was told that he would call me back but that continued to be a lie and I was charged for every time I called. When we went to court he backe...d down and did not fight for me or my case. When I finally had enough and fired him he sent me a bill with an outrageous number.

Child Custody Case

Mr. Crews is a very professional lawyer who I would HIGHLY recommend. Mr. Crews is very upfront about his opinions and intentions on the case, but that proved to be helpful instead of misleading. His knowledge of the legal system was very insightful. Through careful planning and strategy Mr. Crews... was able to get us exactly what we wanted. I feel that with a less capable or less experienced lawyer the outcome would not have been as favorable. To anybody looking for a great lawyer with a no BS policy I highly recommend Kristopher Crews. We can not thank him enough for how he handled our case.

BEST LAWYER EVER

I would love to give mr.crews five stars because he did 2 different Case's for me not only did he beat both cases he always made time for me even when he was very busy he always made sure he got back to me he never makes you feel like it's all about the money I can truly say when he says he goes t...o bat for you he truly does never once in either case did he ever let the other side of the case walk on me if your looking for the best lawyer then look no further you have found him right here

Great attorney and law firm

I was very pleased with the services I received with Kris Crews. From day one, he came across as very assertive, attentive, and "on the ball". I did not want a laid-back lawyer. He questioned me as if I was on the stand the very first time I met with him. Like he says, some may think he's being r...ude, but I was impressed with this. The first lawyer I interviewed was very lackadaisical and seemed disinterested, this was not the case with Kris. There were days in which it was hard to get ahold of him, but I think this is the case with most attorneys. His legal assistant was very good about getting back with me within minutes or hours. Our case went to trial and he prepared me for that as well. On the day of trial our judge backed down and we were all very disappointed. I was 9 months preganant and just wanted the case to be over with. He was able to get the case rescheduled for the following Monday. During the trial he was prepared and did very well at questioning the opposing party. I would definitely recommend Kris for your case.
