She listens.

I recently had to retain a defense attorney and i am so glad it was Denise Crawford. During this pandemic, the courts are so backed up that you almost need a guide ro navigate you rhrough it all. I had many concerns which Mrs Crawford handled with the greatest of ease. She listened to everything i ha...d to say, answered all my calls and texts, she always know exactly what to do next and where to go. I was never left wondering. It seems like she intuitively knows how the da and the judge are going to react. Easily one of the few lawyers ive met that cares about her clients.

Great attorney!

Mrs. Crawford was my court appointed attorney for a possession case, and she was so much help! My first time through I screwed up and didn’t complete my requirements, and when I wound up back in court she really went to bat for me, and got me a second chance to have my felony dismissed. She was kind... and caring, and not judgmental or dismissive of my mistakes and my situation. She was considerate and genuine, and truly seemed to care. She even took time on her own to handle a second case I pulled from another court. She went above and beyond for me and it was a huge help. Now I’m almost done with my case requirements, and on my way to a better life! Also, she was always easy to get ahold of, which isn’t always the case with a lawyer!

Professional and effective attorney

I’ve had a great experience with Ms. Crawford. I’ve had several (mostly drug related) arrests in the past, and she was the first court appointed attorney I felt actually represented my interests. She kept me well informed with everything going on with my case, always called to remind me of my court r...eviews (which I often had forgotten about), and took the time to work for me and meet all my needs. She stayed in touch with my throughout the entire process of my probation and has helped me with any questions or issues I have had. I would definitely recommend Ms. Crawford.

WORST ATTORNEY EVER

WARNING !!!!!!!!!! DO NOT EMPLOY THIS WORTHLESS ATTORNEY!!!! WARNING!!!!!!!! Would not answer her phone! Would not return phone calls! Would not reply to e-mails! Actually talked bad to me about my wife! Had to sit & wait for her to show up in court every time! Once up to 3 hours just to do a reset!... I was in the hospital on my court date, she told me "not to worry about it, she would show up & represent me & just reset the case" THREE WEEKS AFTER I GOT OUT OF THE HOSPITAL-I WAS ARRESTED & JAILED FOR 4 DAYS FOR FAILURE TO APPEAR & FORFEITURE OF BOND! MY BOND DOUBLED!! I FIRED HER & HAD TO PAY ANOTHER ATTORNEY TO HANDLE MY ORIGINAL CASE & GET ME OUT OF THE MESS SHE HAD GOTTEN ME INTO BY NOT SHOWING UP!!!! WORST ATTORNEY EVER!!! DON'T WALK BUT RUN AWAY FROM HER REPRESENTATION!!!!
