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 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!

We were looking for a firm with strong credentials, excellent understanding of working with the courts, responsive and willing to go the extra mile. For certain personal reasons, we additionally needed the law firm to try and expeditiously obtain a refusal or dismissal for a misdemeanor B charge. ... After doing a thorough research on various law firms and reading through their customer reviews. We shortlisted five firms, met with all of them before enlisting the services of crowder law firm. We saw an expansive office and met with their charismatic founder and lead attorney Darlina Crowder, who quickly understood the case and agreed to work with us. Her direct approach and deep understanding of the judicial system won us over. As the court date neared, our interaction with them increased, Darlina assigned a detail oriented, calm and methodical attorney, Tyler to the case and they jointly strategized to turn the first court appearance itself into a full fledged effort to seek a dismissal. To our pleasant surprise, they managed to secure an offer for misdemeanor C with deferred adjudication, at the first appearance itself. Tyler wasted no time and in a matter of hours, the same day, he diligently put together a detailed response for dismissal, along with evidence and time stamps for the prosecutor to easily navigate the material. Over the next few days, Tyler patiently and humbly followed up, spoke and met with the prosecutor, provided additional details etc. He maintained the right balance between providing details and pushing for a quick dismissal. Darlina kept a close watch on the progress and advised on various approaches. I do have to call out that it took Darlina and Tyler just four days, after the first appearance, to secure us the all important dismissal. From our standpoint, this was nothing short of a miracle and they came through for us with the right result in the shortest possible time. This is a law firm with a fearless leaders and a formidable set of attorneys backed up by a team of para legals and have the ability to take on and win the simplest to the most complex of cases. We are thankful to them for keeping their commitment and highly recommend them.
