"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

Michael J. Crawford is a graduate of Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law in Dallas. He chose to open his own law practice in his hometown of Kerens in lieu of practicing with a big firm in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. He works hard for clients. He is known as the "Blue Collar Lawyer" because he gives 110% effort for every client. I was very impressed with his professionalism, understanding, and expression of sincerity while he was handling my case. Michael is not just my attorney, he is also my friend now because he is just that nice of a person. Thanks, Michael for protecting my rights.- Jaclynn -

Mr. Crawford was awesome at handling my complex custody issues. Through the process, trumped-up charges were brought against me.

He is very knowledgable and passionate about the law. He doesn't just make deals. He fights for justice and wins.- Lance -
