I was very pleased with the professionalism of Brittany, Chris, and Geoff. When my boyfriend had gotten in trouble in the past, they were who we used so I knew when I had gotten in trouble they were the right people for me! They worked hard on my case and all charges were dismissed! Best attorneys in town!

Highly recommend this law firm, Mr. Crawford and Mr. Joseph did an outstanding job in representing a client in a DUI case. I recommended this client to the law firm and he was very satisfied with the results, as they got him the best possible outcome!

The team at Chris Crawford Law office is very professional and informative. Geoff was fantastic to work with and he understood everything that we were going through. He took the time to go over every detail and helped us with our case. I am very pleased with the hard work and time that went into my case. I would recommend this Law office to anyone who is in need. They are dedicated to their clients and even reached out after everything was over to make sure everything was going well. They explained the process very easily and we are happy with our outcome.

My attorney Geoff Joseph did an amazing job on my case. He was able to plead down my fine by 75%, was always available to me for answers to my questions, and gave me sound advice throughout. I highly recommend him . You can't do better than Geoff/Crawford when you need these types of services.

Highly recommend the Chris Crawford Law Firm. Undeniably one of the best decisions I made securing their services. The services provided by this team of attorneys especially Geoff, was professional and impeccable. This Firm took care of every need, walked you thru uncertain areas and not only handled the legality of everything they kept you informed and provided successful results. When you are facing uncertain situations and fearful of the outcome, this team provides all the comfort and support needed, following thru on every detail and assured you every step of the way. You will NOT go wrong in securing their services; if you want a Law Firm that is compassionate, professional and knowledgeable, I would not look anywhere else!

I was charged with a second degree misdemeanor. I had no idea how to find a lawyer, so of course I went to google. I picked this law office because of the amazing reviews and here is another! Geoff Joseph took my case a week before my court date. He was very pleasant and easy to talk to. He kept me in the loop the entire time with calls and text messages. Geoff represented me at my arraignment and within seconds of being in the court room the Judge dismissed the case! I deeply appreciate Geoff and the Law Office of Chris Crawford!! I highly recommend their services!! I do hope I don’t need a lawyer in the future, but if I do I am calling Geoff again!!

Several local attorneys told me there was no way out of the situation I was in, and a couple others told me if I paid them an outrageous amount of money they would "see what they could do." No guarantees. One phone call to the Law Offices of Chris Crawford changed all that. After a brief consultation I was told that not only could they help, but with 100% confidence they told me that they could make my problem go away and they gave me a flat rate fee that would not change. I paid the retainer and as it turns out they did exactly what they said they could do when no one else would even try. Brittany was amazing at working around my schedule and keeping me apprised of any changes or progress... and Mr. Crawford made a situation that could have had extremely bad consequences for me and my family into a memory... now I have 100% confidence in this firm. There was no BS.. just results.

I highly recommend Chris and his crew. Those guys/girls are very professional and helpful throughout the whole process. They stayed on top of everything and made sure I was always in the loop. Geoff and Brittany definitely made it a lot less stressful on me also so shout out to those two.!

I received legal representation from this law firm. Geoff was my lawyer and did everything he could to help me. I was leaving for a trip to Europe when I needed his help and he handled everything for me so I could still enjoy my trip. You won’t be dissapointed in the care this law firm provides. I’ll be back again for any other legal matters I have. Thanks again Geoff!!

I was referred to Chris Crawford's office by a friend who highly recommended him. Definitely a great decision! Chris was very knowledgeable and answered all questions I had, right away. All of the staff was friendly and very helpful. Brittney called and kept me in the loop, the entire time. Geoff Joseph was awesome! He was there with me every step of the way and definitely helped put my mind at ease, while helping my case. 5 stars from me!

The team was very patient and professional with me. I got into some legal troubles and called the office nervously almost weekly. I knew the receptionist on a first name basis. They never acted as i was a burden and answered my questions as promptly as possible. Chris and team got me what I would say as the best possible circumstances for what they were dealt. Thank you!

17:29 05 Nov 19

Chris’s team was suggested to me by several people when I was scouting for an attorney. After my initial phone call to their office, I knew I had to have them on my side. Chris and Geoff are an incredibly knowledgeable, confident, and efficient team. Geoff ensured that I knew all of my options, the implications of each option, and the likelihood of achieving those results based on my circumstances. Chris’s presence in the courtroom is unparalleled as it seems clear fellow attorneys and prosecutors respect his ability to handle business. The outcome of my case is exactly what I hoped for and even during a stressful time of my case, I felt secure knowing Chris and Geoff were there. Thanks again guys!

I can't thank Chris Crawford enough. My soon to be ex wife accused me of 2nd degree sexual assault (30 years) after I asked for a divorce. He immediately saw through her lies. Bottom line: Chris was able to separate the lies from the truth. Result: All charges dropped! Thank you Chris. If you need the best criminal/trial attorney, Better Call Chris! He gets results! Oh yes, his staff is remarkable!

00:39 06 Aug 19

Chris and Geoff were absolutely amazing. From the moment I met them they had everything in control and ALWAYS stayed in touch with me...no matter what question I had they always answered promptly. Best lawyers in town hands down. My family and I are truly beyond grateful for all of your hard work and efforts. Thank you guys again for everything!!!

Four months ago I was facing devastating charges brought upon me. I was looking at mandatory prison time. I also had my bond revoked at one point throughout the process. Chris, Geoff and the rest of the team worked hard not only to get my bond reinstated and get me out of jail, they also got my two serious felonies reduced to a misdemeanor and just a few months of probation. I owe them my deepest gratitude and I highly recommend them for any of your legal concerns. You can be confident that they will go above and beyond to get you the best possible outcome on your case. When you are worried about the state wreaking havoc on your life, you better call Chris!

I've dealt with Chris's office several times. Chris has never failed to provide me with the most honest and realistic expectations for my situations. He is always doing everything that he can behind the scenes to ensure the most favorable outcome, and I always feel as though he has shot me straight. He is aggressive, forthcoming, and well versed in the intracacies of the local justice system which are so very delicate. Legal issues are so stressful and I have never thought to ask anyone but Chris. Geoff is thorough and wonderful as well, and Marcie will always do whatever she can to help. Brittney is timely, helpful, responsive, and most importantly, she does what she promises to do. No one ever hopes to NEED an attorney, but nonetheless, these things happen and I would never have trusted anyone but Chris Crawford's office to handle my affairs. Thank you guys, for keeping my mind at ease.

Chris crawford is an excellent attorney and I highly recommend this law firm. Chris and his team of attorneys (Geoff) were very informed of everything that happened step by step throughout my case. Their experience and knowledge of the law helped to bring closure to my case with a win. Also, I wanted to give a special thanks to Brittany Price. She is the legal assistant/secretary at the law firm and handled every phone call with the utmost courtesy and professionalism. Every law firm needs a Brittany price!
