"David was an excellent lawyer and handled everything great and smoothly."
I had a theft misdemeanor case and David did everything possible get me through the process and got my case dismissed. David was an excellent lawyer and handled everything great and smoothly.

"Don’t make the mistake of hiring someone else. Crawford will not let you down!"
I live in Florida and was in Athens to see a concert. After the show on the way back to the hotel, I blew a tire. Due to the area that it happened in, I decided it would be safer to just ride out the last 3-4 minutes on a bad tire than to get out and change it in the middle of the night. Lights flashed, I was pulled over and given all of the sobriety tests, refused to blow, and was taken to jail for a DUI.
Once I got out and got home, I was extremely worried about finding the right lawyer to deal with this somewhat odd case… Boy did I get lucky. Eric and his team handled it ridiculously well with minimal effort from me in FL. I did not even have to appear back in GA until my final hearing. The end result could not have been any better either, Eric somehow convinced them to drop it to a reckless driving and I chose to sit in jail for a few more hours to avoid probation. Huuuuge victory!
At this time I have no DUI on my record, was never on probation, and I never even lost my license. It almost seems like it was all just a bad dream now, and it’s all thanks to Eric and his team.
Don’t make the mistake of hiring someone else. Crawford will not let you down!

"I do not know what to say other than what an amazing experience."
Mr. Boyle took my call, we have never met and he spent his valuable time listening to my legal issues. After patiently considering what I had told him, he gave me multiple options and some very sound legal advice. He also gave the names of a couple of attorneys that were better suited to handle my civil case, since his practice was more focused on criminal law.
Mr. Boyle then refused my offer to pay his firm for this valuable consultation over the phone.
I do not know what to say other than what an amazing experience. He is a credit to the legal profession.

"It was clear that he is well known and respected."
David was one of many attorneys that I called and met with about my DUI case. I have also had experience with another law firm in the past and I felt they underperformed so I wanted to meet with many others this time around. Once I worked with David I realized I was correct. He was very responsive, even after I hired him which is not the case with many lawyers. He explained things clearly with all possible outcomes and ways to handle it. He was very open to meet or discuss anything I wanted and kept me informed of the progress. My case was in Gwinnett County and it was clear that he is well known and respected around there. I will continue to recommend his services. Thanks!

"We couldn’t be happier."
David Boyle was able to negotiate a dismissal of a felony case. He worked closely with the DA’s office and patiently waited for the victim to dismiss the charges as her own grandson was involved in the felony. We expected that restitution, community service, fines, and probation would be the best scenario we could hope for, but a dismissal of changes was the end result. We couldn’t be happier.

"He was easy to reach and able to answer all my questions throughout the process."
Mr. Boyle represented me well and got a better outcome than I expected. He was easy to reach and able to answer all my questions throughout the process. He recommended various things that made the process easier and was certainly worth having on my team, I would highly recommend him!

- A Satisfied Client
"He sets realistic expectations yet, pursues the best possible outcome."
Attorney Boyle is very aware of the law. He sets realistic expectations yet, pursues the best possible outcome. His paralegal team is also exceptionally empathetic and does a great job of ensuring appropriate flow of communication.

"Without Mr. Boyle, my life would have been completely ruined!!"
I had 3 charges and could have been up the creek without a paddle! Without Mr. Boyle, my life would have been completely ruined!! We went to court today and the worst charge was dropped thanks to Mr. Boyle! The judge tried some “funny stuff” and Mr. Boyle went above and beyond any expectations. He went to the extent of getting what I needed to get my provisional license today rather than waiting. He picked it up and met me to bring it to me. He went above and beyond and I fully highly recommend him!! I was terrified going through this process and his staff Sharon and Lynn were both amazing! While it was a terrifying experience Mr. Boyle and his staff kept me sane. Very knowledgeable attorney and he got me the best possible outcome for my situation especially in the City of Lawrenceville. If you are looking for good representation from a knowledgeable and respectable attorney higher Mr. David Boyle.
