Respected, Reliable, and Relentless in the Courtroom!

I’ve had the opportunity to observe Darlina Crowder’s work and reputation in the legal community—and she is truly outstanding. Darlina is widely respected for her expertise in criminal defense and her fierce dedication to justice. She consistently brings a high level of professionalism, preparation, ...and courtroom skill. Whether it’s handling complex felony cases or defending clients in high-stakes situations, Darlina approaches every case with focus and integrity. Her track record speaks volumes, and it’s clear she genuinely cares about the people she represents. If someone I knew were in legal trouble, I would confidently recommend Darlina Crowder without hesitation.

Darlina Crowder is the absolute best!

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!

Great Job!!!

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!

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)

Went to see Ms Crowder about hiring her for my case. Talked to other attorneys but I’ve decided I will be hiring this lawyer because she has a lot of knowledge about my charges and much experience. I feel confident she will do a good job for me.
