Testimonials
I recently needed help with a matter that is personal and was a malicious attack on me as a person. Designed to hurt my name and reputation. I hired Andrew as he works out of the same office as my Family Law Attorney. From the moment we met Andrew put both my wife and I at ease. He was a true advocate for both myself and my family. His communication with his client is quite frankly the best I have ever experienced. He was on the case and following his advice the false allegations that were claimed about me were quickly dismissed as such. Andrew would take his time just to call and make sure my family and I were ok. If he could only reach my wife due to work he would make the time to call me as well just to make sure I was up to speed and nothing was lost in translation. Andrew is a credit to his field. If you need help. If you need an advocate on your side who will keep in touch with you every step of the way Andrew is the attorney for you. Talk to him I'm sure you will be as satisfied as I was.
Andrew Crawford, a stranger to me, took on two cases which were turning my life inside out. Didn’t think there was hope until he efficiently and professionally proved my innocence by his thorough knowledge of the law. Can’t say enough good about him! I can now exhale. My only regret is that I didn’t know him earlier on! Great attorneys give us hope! Thank You, Sir!
Mr. Crawford is truly a brilliant attorney. I’m a retired veteran in Texas and fighting for my brother's freedom 4 states and 1,200 miles away in Florida. Before this journey started, I was constantly praying for God to provide me with an attorney who would absolutely seek true justice regardless if the law and those who are to uphold it was put under a microscope. I went through countless attorney and law board reviews. My family and I needed the best person with the best experience for such a task at hand. Mr. Crawford credentials were everything that we were looking for. His background as a defense and appeals attorney made him stand out above so many in Florida. He worked with my family, my brother, and I. He took all the actions our previous attorney should have taken and even more as though it was his own life hanging in the balance. My brother wasn't just a case to Mr. Crawford. He devised a strategy and pulled in his team of experts in multiple professions to assist. He kept my brother and I informed on everything he was doing from the way the court system works, to case law, and to the appeals process. He found so many wrongs as he researched our case. My brother mattered, we mattered, the law mattered, and the truth mattered to Mr. Crawford. If you want an attorney that still holds his oath in today’s society and all that he’s sworn to do under God and the law, Mr. Crawford is who you need. God placed him in our path and I am so blessed to have him helping my family. I cannot thank you enough Mr. Crawford, from the bottom of my heart you are greatly appreciated in all you did and continue to do. May God’s favor be upon you and your team
Mr. Crawford is an exceptional attorney, that we cannot say enough to let everyone know how dedicated, compassionate and professional he is as an attorney. You definitely get more than your money's worth. Mr. Crawford took on our case after having several attorneys, and how we wish we would have met him sooner, it would have saved us a lot of money, time, and excruciating agony. In short - my son was innocent, went to trial with our 2nd hired attorney and was given a life sentence and two 40-year sentences, he served 4 years in one of the harshest prisons in Florida- went to Appeals Court, where Mr. Crawford represented my son, and he was granted a chance to prove my son's innocence - my son's conviction was overturned! This nightmare started on 11/28/15 and Mr. Crawford put it to rest for us on 4/13/23! Mr. Crawford treated us like real people, with other attorneys we were just a number, and we missed all the red flags. We put all of our trust in Mr. Crawford and would recommend him to everyone! We got our life back and my son is out here with is today because of Mr. Crawford and we will always be thankful for his hard work, perseverance and persistence. #honest#justiceserved
