"It's not the critic that counts ... the credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by dust, sweat, and blood; who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again because there is no effort without shortcomings ..." -Theodore Roosevelt Request Your Free Consulation today

He got me a not guilty and now I'm working as a Registered Nurse.
“I graduated from the RN Nursing Program in May 2012. 3 days later I received a DWI with a .122 and .120 breath test in Navarro County. I hired Michael and he kept me calm and confident. I was unable to begin practicing nursing with my DWI. Michael led us to trial, picked a jury along with two of his paralegals taking notes and advising. We began the trial. The state had an expert in Ron Oliver and Michael completely discredited Oliver on cross-examination. He got me a not guilty and now I'm working as a Registered Nurse.” -
As a satisfied client, I highly recommend Michael J. Crawford.
“Mr. Crawford was able to represent my wishes and balance that with a sensible plan while taking the appropriate time to compassionately explain the process to me, answer all my questions and really listen to my concerns.
Mr. Crawford was honest, knowledgeable, and aggressively fought for a successful outcome.
As a satisfied client, I highly recommend Michael J. Crawford.

It was obvious at every moment of the trial that he was there to defend his client
“Mr. Crawford was the attorney for my nephew - I sat in court the 5 days of court - and observed Mr. Crawford for the entire trial - it was obvious at every moment of the trial that he was there to defend his client -- and defend, he did. He was wonderful!” -
Very happy with our results and he'll be our first call should the need arise again.
“Would recommend Mr. Crawford and his team to anyone without a doubt. He and his team stood by my husband and worked on his case for 3 years without checking up once. Very happy with our results and he'll be our first call should the need arise again.

An awesome and caring man.
“He was the best lawyer for my son. An awesome and caring man. He treated him with respect. Not one time asked for anything. My son was in a bad situation and he was looking at a long time in prison. Michael J Crawford got him probation. My son now is in rehab. Thank you, Michael Jackson Crawford.”
