For me, the point of becoming a lawyer was to gain the expertise to help people who were in trouble.
I gained experience in the world of criminal defense and I found that I loved this area of law. I took the bar and started my own practice after relocating to Monterey County with my husband who is also an incredible attorney and champion of civil rights.
Together we have built a law firm that prides itself on the highest standard of honesty and ethics, working together to keep every client out of jail and going for a NOT GUILTY verdict or DISMISSAL EVEN WHEN IT DOES NOT SEEM POSSIBLE.

I hired Ms. Crawford after an arrest for felony theft. I met with her where she fully explained the charges, fines and jail time, process of hearings, investigating the charges, possible settlement, and her fees. She was knowledgeable and considerate. I have never been arrested, let alone spent a ...
