You owe it to you to read this review!

7 minutes ago Hi Justin, first I want to thank you and Darlina and your entire team for the impeccable representation that ultimately resulted in not only a favor outcome on the multiple Felony Criminal offenses you represented but what i consider to be astonishingly favorable results and for that... I’m grateful and offer my deepest appreciation for the Crowder Law Firms hard work and dedication to my circumstances and the above mentioned results later delivered. Starting with 9 charges (6 1st degree Felony Drug Charges including 3 Manufacturing and Delivery with heavy weight attached and 3 Class “A” misdemeanors with 60 years easily tied to them in aggregate and thanks to Darlinas experience, leadership and expectations of her Firm to take my freedom personally she had 3 felony’s dismissed and 2 misdemeanors dismissed and then the Manufacture and Deliver of Heroin, Concaine and Meth all 3 1st degree reduced to possession and thus the sentence was reduced to probation and not a single night away from home) this is real and this is the work of Darlina, Justin and Crowder Law. They are serious and leave the humor for after the result and are all business when you need to know you have the best behind you! Whoever you are, hang on my words and remember your freedom depends on the decision you make of who you choose to represent you. Your best work got you in this mess, make the right one to get out of it. Darlina is a trustworthy, experienced and dedicated choice. I hope, I convinced you to trust her and her team because you don’t get a second chance at what you’re about to go through! Brandon (a free man)

Charges dismissed!

I was facing up to 10 years for a trumped up family violence charge when I hired Darlina. I was up against a relentless DA and motivated accuser, who very effectively manipulated the criminal system to her advantage to try and extort me. This was in Collin county, where due process for the accused in... this case was generally, shall we say…. sorely lacking. But Darlina was fearless! She pushed back hard, and aggressively fought for me, sometimes working till late at night. Together with Aubrey Noonan and Morgan McNabb, who meticulously worked up the case, reviewed the evidence, and prepared for witness testimony, I was able to get justice. Ultimately the charges were dismissed, right before the final plea bargain hearing. Darlina is a true defender of the constitution! Without dedicated professionals like Darlina Crowder, Aubrey Noonan and Morgan McNabb standing up for the accused our civil rights and our constitution would mean nothing. I would highly recommend the Crowder Law Firm. They are experienced, professional, caring, aggressive and they get results.

Best lawyer!!

Mrs. Crowder was an excellent lawyer. She was very knowledgeable and aided me through every step of the process. She was also extremely transparent and communicated effectively on a daily basis. It was a relief to know I could trust her to make the best outcome of my case. I can’t thank her and her t...eam enough.

Incredible Lawyer!

Ms. Crowder is incredible at what she does! From the beginning of my case to the end she was responsive and open about everything happening and explaining throughout! Despite having numerous clients her and her team made me feel as though I was their number one priority! She won my case! I recommend ...Ms.Crowder to everyone!

No Billed

Darlina Crowder and Morgan Mc Nabb worked on an Aggravated Assault with A Deadly Weapon charge that could have potentially ruined my future and career. The individual involved gave false information at the time the incident occurred and Ms. Crowder and Ms. Mc Nabb put together all the information and... facts in order to have the case No Billed. I will forever be grateful to Ms. Crowder and her team. She stood by her word, she was very professional, and never failed to let me down. The team showed compassion and commitment. During a stressful 11 months waiting, they always assured me that they cared about my life and the future of my children. Those two ladies will definitely get the job done! My family and I can not thank them enough.

"I am a lawyer with the firm. I joined this team because I only wanted to associate with lawyers who were committed to exceptional case outcomes. Here are only some features about what I enjoy about working here: we make the time to be thorough every case, every time. This firm has the best legal research resources available, and we put them to use. This firm looks at all of the evidence. This firm does its own investigation. If there is something wrong with the case, we find it. Darlina Crowder has earned her reputation, and we all benefit from her world-class trial experience. I have never seen anything quite like it.
