Matt handled my daughters cases in multiple jurisdictions over a period of several years. He was compassionate, forthright, and tenacious in handling of all her cases. Even when she re-offended and complicated her final sentencing hearing Matt did not give up on her. He represented her and fought for her to gain a fair sentencing in a court known for it's tough sentencing policies. He is well respected by judges and prosecutors alike. As the judge in my daughter's sentencing stated he knew and had worked with Matt. He went with recommendation and did not at all go with what the prosecutors were asking. I could not of asked for a better outcome for my daughter and she was satisfied too. She knew she had messed up and didn't make it easy for Matt to plead for her - but he did and it turned out ok for her. He has also looked out for her well being while being held in custody due to certain medical conditions she has and is battling while in custody. He is caring and let us know every possible outcome and what to expect along our journey. She is finally on her way to healing and getting her life in line and I have Matt to thank for that. As I stated she didn't make it easy for him but he gave her his all . You can do no better then this attorney and wonderful man.
Matt Crawford should be your first choice for criminal defense in Federal Way. He got multiple serious charges reduced significantly to timed served. He did multiple appearances that would of really ran the clock with past lawyers Ive hired. His fees are very reasonable and he outperforms other lawyers who charge three times as much. Not only is he highly skilled, but he is gifted in negotiating with the most difficult prosecutors and judges. If you need criminal defense, Matt is a great choice . He also is a very fine person - thank you again Matt !

Blindsided
Matt did an excellent job representing me... when my ex wanted to back me into a corner and press charges against me behind unfair, untruthful lies I didn't no what to do let alone understand why charges were even being pressed against me... I couldn't think clearly, all I could think about was my daughter will be taken away from me for reason at all... then a close friend of mine helped me by introducing me to Matt... Matt guided me every step of the way, and every advice he gave me was spot on with what would happen, how it would happen, and just how my ex's reactions would be... he really put me at ease and was very compassionate about my situation... at the end of this 2 year back and forth battle in court Matt got the case dropped, and my record was wiped clean... everything backfired on my ex being untruthful... and Matt was spot on again and said to me after the courts decision, "be ready because this isn't the end quite yet..." 5 days after my case being settled my ex was arrested for threatening me in front of 10 witnesses... Thank you again Matt for all you do and the at ease you put me and my family at!:)
