Darlina Crowder

Darlina Crowder and her entire team at the Crowder Law Firm fought for me for years and saved my life! Prior to hiring Ms. Crowder I had two different lawyers. The first had a big ego and I was treated like I was guilty. I fired him and hired the second. I quickly figured out that he was very inexper...ienced and only had tried one case on the defense side. I quickly fired him. I met with a dozen additional lawyers and Ms. Crowder was twice as much as the two I had just fired and even more than the others I interviewed. The minute I met with Ms. Crowder I felt a sense of peace and I just knew I was where I was supposed to be. I could tell she knew how to defend me. I was falsely accused of the most heinous crime anyone can be accused of with the possibility of 25 years to life in prison. Ms. Crowder asked me questions about the case that no other lawyer had. She asked me to provide documentation of things I had never been asked to provide or thought of. She had a different way of thinking, planning, and trial preparation that in her own words left no stone unturned. I was confused because I thought my innocence itself was enough to win my case and she quickly told me it was not!! we needed to prove it even though we are presumed innocent in this Country. I was very confused but I did exactly what she told me to do. Ms. Crowder is in high demand as she specializes in these cases and to be honest she was always in a jury trial for the majority of the time she was representing me and I was a little worried. Thinking she did not have enough time to get ready for my case. However, what I quickly came to find out was that her preparation started from the day she met me she has a team of paralegals, trial attorneys and interns that are behind the scenes working on my case along side her behind the scenes. Once I understood that I truly felt like I had a large team defending me and that was the actual truth. When it came time to trial, Ms. Crowder told me to be myself and to not worry although that part was hard. She kept me focused and answered all my crazy questions day and night even though she was preparing for the next day in my trial. She sternly set me straight when I needed it, yet she still showed me compassion. Michael Hawk her senior trial lawyer was very good, kind and confident. He showed me compassion as well guiding me through this devastating process. They both walked into the courtroom during trial and owned it. Ms. Crowder was fierce and aggressive yet compassionate. Ms. Crowder started fighting for me vigorously from the start in jury selection. Telling my side even then. Michael Hawk was confident and genuine during opening statement explaining exactly why I wasn’t guilty. Ms. Crowder destroyed each witness that needed destroying and knew exactly what to ask their expert and turned her into our witness. Mr. Hawk made the lead detective look like he was on vacation during the investigation of my case showing a lack of investigation. Ms. Crowder is an expert in trial and when it came to her closing argument she did not mince words. She was fierce, fearless not caring who was in the courtroom and did not allow the prosecution to get away with anything. She is the real deal! Jury deliberated for 5 hours. I was found NOT GUILTY !! Ms. Crowder was worth every penny. She and her team saved my life! Thank you Mr. Hawk and Thank you Ms. Crowder! I will be grateful for the rest of my life!

I am so grateful that someone recommended us to yall. Dalina, together with her stuffs is just amazing. Honestly, it’s worth the price. My brother was falsely accused of sexual assault and they were able to prove his innocence and get the case dismissed at trial. They treated us with a lot of respect... regardless of cultural diversity. They showed respect to our culture and were trying their best to understand without being judgmental. Darlina and Justin are very good! Our family is forever thankful for your hard work!

My experience with the Crowder Law Firm has been outstanding. Facing a criminal legal challenge for the first time was incredibly stressful, but from the moment I contacted them, their professionalism and expertise brought me peace of mind. They were cost-effective and transparent. They exhibited... professionalism in time management, courtroom experience, and in our client to attorney relationship. No questions went unanswered and there was no judgement or overreaction in our engagements. I told her the truth and that was all I needed to be set free from that nightmare. They sought all evidence in my defense and thanks to their diligent investigation and courtroom prowess, my case was dismissed before trial! I wholeheartedly recommend The Crowder Law Firm. You can hire a person or hire a team. I’m proud to say they will be my representation in the future if I even need them again. Thank you Attorney Crowder and Attorney James for all your hard work.

I hired this attorney and paid a retainer to handle my case. Over a year, there was very little progress and almost no communication, despite my repeated attempts to get updates. When I did hear from her, she said she was busy working on other cases “day and night,” which was given as the reason for ...not getting back to me. The situation became extremely stressful when she withdrew from my case the day before a scheduled court date, leaving me scrambling at the last minute. My case is still pending, and I am still waiting for the return of unused retainer funds. I am currently filing a grievance with the State Bar and documenting all events. I strongly recommend anyone considering this attorney to carefully review communication, availability, and fee policies before hiring.

On Thursday, Oct 23rd, I was contacted by a non-attorney representative from The Crowder Law Firm asking if I would remove my negative review. I made it clear there was no reason to do so until my matter is resolved. This shows the firm is more concerned with protecting their online reputation than a...ddressing client issues. I was also “promised” (for the second time) that I would receive a call from Mrs. Crowder the next morning, Oct 24th. That call never came. At this point, I am out $10,000 and left without legal representation for my next court appearance. I have filed a formal complaint with the Texas Bar and will continue pursuing this matter. Clients deserve accountability, not silence and empty promises.
