  • 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.”

    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.

  • 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.”

  • Thank you again, Michael Crawford, you are a Godsend and God bless you!

    “I want to say thank you to the Biggest Heart in Texas, Michael Crawford. Several years ago a relative was falsely accused of a terrible thing. When asked questions they would just look at the floor too scared to answer. The lawyer we had prior to Michael told us that when my relative would be on the stand the prosecuting attorney would chew them up and spit them out and we should accept a plea. We did and my relative got 3 years probation. The lawyer also told me that the money I paid would cover the fee to have the records sealed when it was time, but he, unfortunately, passed away soon after the trial. Then the person that accused my relative came to me and revealed her statement was made in anger, not from the truth. Way too late! I called several lawyers and I couldn't possibly come up with their retainers. I called Mr. Crawford. He stated he usually takes a hefty fee to work on a case, but when I told him of the situation he got very quiet. His silence was followed by a simple question: Would you be okay if I did this case, Pro Bono? For some of you that seem to think all lawyers are out for money, I am here to state Michael Crawford is out for the people. Thank you again, Michael Crawford, you are a Godsend and God bless you!”

  • He is my lawyer for life.

    Crawford got on the case quick from the first time I spoke with him. My family contacted him prior to me turning myself into the police because there was a warrant out on me. Crawford went with me to the jail, met with the justice of the peace, and helped me by posting bond for me as his client. This took the drama away from the process. I was in and out of jail in less than 1 hour and never had to sit in a cell. Crawford always kept my feelings, and my families feelings, in mind as he made decisions. He always asked me my opinion. I felt like I had a say in my defense. In the end, Crawford helped me to get a new lease on life. I owe my opportunity to be successful to Crawford and his staff.

    He is my lawyer for life.
