About George
Biography
I have been selected for many years by my own peers as both a SuperLawyer and as one of the Top 100 Lawyers in all of Dallas/Fort Worth in all practices. These are the lawyers I face in court all the time. Lawyers love to say they are "litigators," despite rarely trying cases, or even appearing in court. I have spent many years trying lawsuits in courts all over the state of Texas, at all levels. I have argued before the courts of appeals all over the state as well, including landmark cases presented to the Supreme Court of Texas. I know what it's like to be in the courtroom, and how to manage your case for the judge or jury, and will use that experience to get you the best result.
Voted several years by peers as a TOP 100 Attorney in all of DFW as published in Super Lawyers

Posted by Mark | January 25, 2023 | Hired Attorney | Divorce & Separation
Really great service
I hired Mr. Crumley to help me handle my divorce, and I later asked him to help me with business matters including contract work. He did a fantastic job on my divorce. He gave him his advice but followed MY instructions and did not try to "overcook" (his word) what I felt was a simple divorce. I cons...

Great demeanor, listens, excellent staff
My ex-wife and I hired George for divorce mediation. My ex wasn't knowledgable about asset division with a divorce and had a lot of expectations that weren't really accurate. George was able to educate her, and keep her calm, and keep her in mediation until she signed. I wasn't very confident she wou...

Professional and knows the law!
I hired Mr. Crumley to help me with my Parental Rights case and because Mr. Crumley knows the law so well we won and we won in a timely matter!!!!

Strongly NOT recommend
I was referred to George by his partner, Nick. I was totally unsatisfied with his service and fees. - He charges $325/hr, an outrageous fee for little service he does! - He and his assistant, Wendy, were totally non-responsive. - When he talked to me, the only thing he told me was to tell me to ...
George Crumley
Replied last February 10, 2025The client, "Sue," has not told the truth at all. It is sad that such a good client has resorted to this emotional retaliation after I got her such a good result in court. This client hired me on an emergency basis, and asked me to handle a case set for a major hearing in less than two days, and which had been filed against her by her ex-husband seeking FULL custody of her only son, seeking to force the child to change schools, and seeking to strip the mother of her rights to make decisions about education. Other lawyers fired her as a client because she is difficult to deal with. The issues were complex, and she was told that it would require a large retainer because I had to set aside OTHER clients' cases and prepare solely for her court battle in less than a day and a half. I told her that my rate is very expensive, and she agreed, as she had waited until the last minute to hire me. Her prior lawyer did not get along with her and quit. I did not. Not only did we communicate, we did nothing but talk and work on her case the entire day before the hearing, which was the only day we had. She sent dozens of pages of documents to review, papers from the prior lawyer, case history, and we met for several hours to prepare, all the day before. We went to the courthouse for 4 hours the following day and the client KEPT custody, KEPT the child in the same school, KEPT all decision-making rights, and got everything she asked for. During the hearing, she completely broke down in the court hallway, crying and screaming in a rage because of what her ex claimed. I worked very hard to calm her down and did indeed say several times "I need you to listen to me and stop talking! I'm on YOUR side!" When it was over, she cried and hugged me and THANKED me for taking her case and "taking care of me and my son." She apologized for her outbursts and said "I'm really not a 'tiger-mom.'" A few days later she came to my office to bring me a GIFT from her and her son as a thank you. The case was not yet over, but after winning, she decided she wanted to counter-sue and take away some of the father's rights. Immediately after that, she lost a lease and was going to be forced to take her son to a different school, all unrelated to the case. However, it complicated her position, and while I was still dealing with the other issues in her case, she wanted to "ramp up" the fight against her ex. She demanded a second temporary hearing and asked for a restraining order against him. Since she and I had such success in court, she wanted to punish her ex-husband and expand the fight. I told her that her funds were depleted as I had already spent over 15 hours on her emergency case, and she got angry. She stated "I thought we could do it all for the initial retainer," despite having been told several times that was not the case. I explained a huge war with the other side will be expensive. She angrily said that was "fine" and that she would sign an order allowing my withdrawal. When we tried to reach her to get her signature, she refused all of our calls, which required me to go back to court at my own time and expense. She waited until THE DAY OF the withdrawal hearing to then attack me on this site in retaliation, and despite having profusely thanked me for all that I did for her and her son. Her review was written solely out of spite and anger. I spent more than 15 hours between July 9, 2014 and October 6, 2014, and got her everything she asked for--we won it all! 2020 Update: Sue reached out to me in late 2020 and requested for me to connect with her on two different professional social media sites. I politely declined.

I have known George to be an ethical lawyer who works hard to do right by his clients in an efficient manner. I endorse him without hesitation."
"I strongly endorse George Crumley as a civil lawyer handling more than just family law cases. I have recommended George to my own clientele seeking business-related legal issues, malpractice, as well as divorce and child custody matters. George is hard-working, professional, reasonable on his fees, and is known to take the time needed to spend with his clients. I have received this feed back from individuals I have sent his way."
"Attorneys often look to their colleagues for advice on how to approach legal matters and it speaks highly of the fellow attorney they seek out.

"I have worked with Mr. Crumley on past cases and have always held very high regard for his ability to think outside the box in developing creative custom solutions to achieve client goals. He has always been very easy to work with and is never an impeding roadblock to settling cases outside of the courtroom. He is very knowledgeable and therefore a pleasure to have a case against."
