I was facing some serious charges after a night on the town while vacationing in California went awry. Julie worked diligently with all involved parties, including military authorities, to bring closure to an embarrassing issue. She was always positive in her outlook and was careful to manage my expe...ctations of the outcome. She took additional time to consider how one outcome vs another would affect all parties and navigated through the legal process like a seasoned professional. At the end of the day she was able to work a deal and the court dropped all criminal charges. My family and I can finally move forward after this life changing event shook our foundation.

I contacted Julie initially when I realized I needed help through a situation involving an accusation of welfare fraud and perjury. I consulted with her and she gave me honest advice as to what expect and left the door open for any further question. I ended up hiring Ms. Crawford and it was the bes...t choice I made through this really hard time. She was able to get the charges reduced and felony charges dropped completely. Through the entire process, she remained in communication with me, explaining what was going to happen, walking with me to and from court and standing by my side in the court room. Out of the lawyers I consulted with, she was the one who was positive and confident of a positive outcome for my situation. Through the entire process, she was compassionate and supportive. If you find yourself in a situation needing help, I would HIGHLY recommend contacting the Crawford Law Firm. I cannot thank Julie Crawford enough for helping me through this.

In July of 2014 I went into my neighbor's college dorm house drunk & looking for food & more liquor. The police charged w/ a residential burglary which is a felony strike. I spent 2 weeks in jail, a year w/ a Court appointed public defender. Even after a year going to AA meetings, no problems w/... the law and providing multiple documents showing my true honest character the court still would not reduce my charges. With my only option of a felony on my record, I hired Julie Crawford. She was able to reduce my charges w/out a trial to a misdemeanor ( petty theft / burglary). Now I am finishing college and going on with my life as a responsible citizen. She was a great attorney & I highly recommend her! Thanks Julie Crawford.

We live in LA and our son who is in college in Monterey got intoxicated and walked into the neighbor's campus house. (They were all friends) The neighbor's were not home. Our son was hungry and started making a grilled cheese sandwich and was standing there holding some of the neighbor's possession...s when she arrived home. He had no intent to steal. The neighbor had no problem and sent my son home. When she told her boyfriend on the phone, he called the police. Our son was sent to jail for 15 days and charged with a felony. He was given a Public Defender (PD) who urged our son to take the felony. Salinas area has a 98% incarceration rate. Our college son's future was at stake. What started out with a college drunk evening was escalating into a serious charge. We are in LA, CA. 300 miles away and worried sick. For a year our son appeared in court with his court appointed PD who urged him to take the felony and was very perturbed when our son stated he would not accept that charge. He accepted his consequences in this situation, but felt a felony was too harsh of a sentence. The PD wanted to label our son something that he wasn't. Our son was getting lost in the legal system. After a year the PD stated, "take the felony, if you go to trial you will probably get a felony and a strike". Our son stated that in his heart he did not deserve this verdict and would find other representation. I went online and started calling and interviewing each lawyer in the Salinas/Monterey area. JULIE CRAWFORD was rated the highest of all. After speaking with many lawyers, it was so obvious that JULIE CRAWFORD was the very best. So pointed out legalities and information no one else saw. She believed in our son and felt that this case was a misdemeanor. JULIE CRAWFORD never dropped the ball. After 6 months our son's case was dropped to a misdemeanor. (without going to trial) He was charged w/ Petty Theft/Burglary! And it can be expunged in 3 years! Everybody has a right to be defended. But, you need to find the right lawyer who believes in you and will fight for you. Writing this in Gratitude for JULIE CRAWFORD! If you need legal help, have the courage to take the first step~ don't settle~ call JULIE CRAWFORD. It's never too late. Believe in yourself. Be persistent. And find a lawyer who feels the same way about your case. A BIG THANK YOU to JULIE CRAWFORD (our son is finishing college and has a bright future now!)
