Mr. Crenshaw is very experienced and knowledgeable, not some dine store lawyer who does not care about his clients. Hiring an attorney is like picking a husband. You better get a good one or you end up in court. #callcrenshaw

"Cory Crenshaw is one of the best and most experienced lawyers in Texas. He’s a former judge, assistant United States Attorney, and district attorney. He is a warrior and is not afraid to go to trial. He’s tried everything from simple misdemeanors to complex felonies. If I were ever in trouble, Cory would be on the short list of people I would call. I enthusiastically endorse this lawyer."
"Cory is a dedicated advocate with a proven record of success. His experience as a judge gives him a unique advantage in the courtroom. His knowledge and passion for the law are unmatched."

"Cory is a strong and dedicated advocate for his clients. I would highly recommend Cory for any client that needs aggressive and ethical representation. His clients are well represented and in great hands."
"I've dealt with Cory on many criminal matters over the years. He was always a fair but formidable adversary. He is extremely smart, but his greatest attribute is how hard he works on his cases."
"Cory has a vast knowledge of criminal law (both state and federal). He is an aggressive trial attorney and will fight for anyone in need of legal assistance. I highly recommend Cory to anyone who needs legal help."
"I first met Cory Crenshaw when he was working as an Assistant District Attorney in Brazos County. During his time here, he and I tried many cases against each other. I can honestly say that he is one of the most fiercest, relentless and intelligent advisories that I have faced in a courtroom. Any person facing a criminal charge would be in great hands with Cory in their corner!"
"As a former federal prosecutor (Assistant United States Attorney), Cory made excellent decisions on cases ranging from immigration, drugs, public corruption, to federal firearms offenses. His legal competence is admirable and I have always known him to provide sound and savvy legal advice."
"I have worked opposite of Judge Crenshaw when he was an AUSA and the District Attorney and appeared before him while he was a Judge. He is passionate about the law, diligent, and articulate. He is a fierce advocate for his clients."
"I worked with Cory for several years in the Brazos County District Attorney's Office, and we also went to law school together. I know Cory to be a fantastic trial lawyer who is dedicated to seeing that justice is done. He has a vast array of experience in both state and federal criminal law. He would be a fantastic representative for anyone charged with a crime. I highly endorse him."
"Judge Crenshaw is a knowledgeable attorney who possesses substantial experience in Criminal Defense. He's been a prosecutor for both the State of Texas and the Federal Government. He has served as both a judge in County Court 2 and as the head District Attorney of Jefferson County, Texas. With this unprecedented experience he provides excellent representation to his clients. In my opinion he is one of the best qualified attorneys to consult; either as a client or as a colleague. I highly recommend Judge Crenshaw for your legal needs."
