Mel L. Crawford

I was fortunate to work with Mel and found him to be very smart and a great advocate for my disability appeal. He clearly knows this area of the law well and was able to get a strong settlement for me and my family. I highly recommend if you are in a similar situation working with Mel. He was clea...r and made things understandable but mostly I could tell he was on my side.

Mel is an outstanding disability lawyer and overall great human being. He's an expert in his field, honest, compassionate, welcomes questions, and is a great listener.  I worked with Mel to have him help me navigate the short term and long term disability path I was on, so I could understand what to ...expect from the insurance company and to clarify the information they required in order to complete my claims successfully.  Thanks to his advice, which was always rendered in a quick and thorough manner, I had a smooth and positive response from the insurance company and my claims were completed without any issues.  Thank you so much, Mel, for all the invaluable support you have given me.  If you need a disability attorney, work with this man.  You will not be disappointed. 

My employer was a large software company and at first, I didn't have much confidence that my case would have a positive outcome. I was wrong. Not only did Mr. Crawford, review all the legal documents; he also prepared expeditious replies and ultimately I received fair compensation. As a client, I a...ppreciated his upfront, honest and expert advice and would recommend him especially for specific D&I issues.

Mel Crawford provided invaluable advice and assistance throughout the process of applying for disability (for two separate claims with two different companies). He meticulously attended to any detail that could derail my claim, exhibited genuine caring during a particularly stressful period, and mad...e himself available by telephone, email, or in person. Both claims were approved on the first round and this was directly attributable to Mel's advice. He continues to provide guidance for any follow up issues that arise with my claims. His fees have been very reasonable. I would recommend him without reservation to anyone needing help with a disability claim.

Mel is an absolutely amazing attorney. He's not just a master in employer disability; he's also extremely caring, compassionate and resourceful. I hired Mel when my employer-based disability claim was denied. I was at a loss and didn't know where to turn. I knew I couldn't work and I didn't k...now how I'd be able to make ends meet. Mel helped me identify the tests I needed and the doctors who were qualified to perform them. It was a long, arduous process and all the hard work paid off; both my short-term and long-term employer-paid disability claims have been approved. Mel managed my case as if he was fighting for himself or a family member. His compassion helped get me through a very rough time.
