Excellent Attorney

Mr. Crowley helped with few cases in my family. My husband had a Felony case, He managed to drop it down to misdemeanor. I have a home daycare and He truly worked so hard to get all the accusations dismissed. I owe my business and my family situation to him. He is very caring, easy to discuss problem...s with and he spends time on the case to find a way out. I am so blessed to have him as my attorney.

We Absolutely Recommend Nate Crowley

Though we didn't end up needing an attorney, we would have absolutely retained Nate's services. We were dealing with an unfortunate, ugly and legally complex issue involving felony domestic violence charges. The potential impact on our lives and freedom was a game changer. We were profiled, judged an...d not listened to from the beginning by law enforcement, investigators and the Deputy DA. I didn't feel any of that the moment Nate contacted me in response to my inquiry. I communicated with him a few times by text and phone. Nate quickly debriefed the situation, picked up on the pertinent details that were most helpful to us (where others hadn't) and listened without judgement. Nate did what he said when he said. More importantly, it wasn't about the money. It wasn't about contributing to his own success rate solely for the sake of more business. Nate did so because we were in need and he is an empathetic human being who chose to use his intelligence, education, knowledge and time for the good of others. Thanks so much again, Nate. I'm keeping your phone number ready in case it's ever needed in the future.

Thank the lord for Nate!

This is a very bright young man. If you have been wrongly convicted, he will do his best work to make sure you are heard. Another attorney I hired then fired, just wanted me plea bargain like a Settlement Mill. Nate listened to me and believed in me and provided Nate with everything to prove my ...innocence. Nate did the rest. In the case against me, the prosecutor was hell bent on convicting me, even though the video evidence showed I was innocent. Nate was brilliant, after he reviewed my case and evidence, he started slowly tearing apart the prosecution case little by little. The prosecutor continued to try negotiate the charges down as Nate did his job. Nate even found that the City was charging me with an unconstitutional thought law and challenged the city. By the time we got to court, Nate had got the prosecutor to negotiate the charges down from two gross misdemeanors to one misdemeanor. When we went to court, Nate showed his brilliance again by punching huge holes in the prosecution case and helped me expose the lies and conspiracy drummed up by this business, the officer who knows the customer of the business, and also the prosecutors office, the mayor, and city council. End result, Jury verdict was unanimous, 6-0 - NOT GUILTY. Thank you so much, Nate. I'm truely indebted to you! Nate, make sure you thank your wife for me for her help too! Bless you two!

"Nate is a top-notch criminal defense super lawyer. I think so highly of Nate and the work product he delivers that I asked him to be a part of my team when my firm handles criminal matters. I run a robust education law firm that deals, in part, with disciplinary issues and criminal issues impacting college students. Nate is an invaluable resource when these matters come in.
