Case Dismissed

Denise was on time and on top of the case I never had to worry about being updated with my case and she was comforting and assured me everything would work out and I did. Before I realized anything and before I went to my second court case Denise had already got my cases dismissed. I would definitel...y recommend her has an attorney. She was very professional and her assistant Allison was great about keeping me updated on next steps.

Great Lawyer

Denise is a great attorney. Always on time. Very informative. She is very knowledgeable. I will most definitely recommend her and her team. She will fight to get your case dismissed or get you the best option. Thanks again for your help!

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!!!!

Do Not Use!

Kept resetting the case, and when tried to do a plea of a misd to just get the process over with, she reset it again. Would not return phone calls, and was left in jail for 6 days because she didn't show up for court. When the judge was giving time served, all she had to do was show up. Her excuse, t...oday is my day off and I gave it to another attorney to attend. This isn't my fault. Very rude and unprofessional.
