"From day one he provided me with comfort."
Mr. Crawford was highly recommended from a friend. From day one he provided me with comfort. As a mother, you never want your child to do anything that will jeopardize his future. My son had never been involved with the law until one night changed his life. Mr. Crawford was prompt in calling us and providing us with information as well as answering any questions. He had excellent “people skills”! He always responded to emails quickly as well as speaking with us after hours. Mr. Crawford got the case dismissed! I hope we never be in this situation again, but for anyone who unfortunately needs legal support, Eric Crawford is who you want to represent you.

"He is a friendly man and a just lawyer."
Mr. Boyle was helpful throughout the legal and court processes and was able to negotiate a fair outcome for a plea deal. Would recommend to anyone as he is a friendly man and a just lawyer.

"Charges dropped prior to entering a court room."
I hired Mr. Boyle to help with my fiance and his case that was not looking good due to the fact that he had previous charges of the same. Mr. Boyle was able to tell us what he could do to help us and more than follow through. Mr. Boyle successfully was able to get the charges dropped prior to entering a court room. He called us every step of the way, and although I hope we never have to use him again, he will be the only lawyer that I would trust to deliver for myself, family, or anyone else.

"David and Eric did an excellent job..."
David and Eric did an excellent job defending me and getting my charge dismissed. They responded quickly and informed/educated me on the legal process I had to expect.

- A Satisfied Client
"I would recommend anyone to them and, in fact, have done so!"
Crawford and Boyle really helped me out in a difficult time in my life. Very great experience interacting with everyone at the practice. I would recommend anyone to them and, in fact, have done so!

- A Satisfied Client
"I’m confident in hiring them."
Eric was awesome, I asked the judge for a public defender, I had no idea this lawyer would stand up and take my case. I was not working at the time so the judge said go ahead. He trialed my case right then and got my charges dismissed under a conditional discharge, anyways I’m reviewing him because I’m in trouble with a DUI on methadone. I knew who to go to, Crawford and Boyle. I’m confident in hiring them. I really think they do awesome.

- Dawn
"A good person in general."
He kept me from going back to jail on a failure to register, worked a plea bargain with the state, was on top of things all the time, answered all questions, a good person in general.
