Ms Crawford is an incredibly intelligent and logistical attorney. Her legal skills allowed me to settle a complicated marriage with several key issues to resolve; two major properties and an intricate portfolio held by my former wife. Debra had incredible insight for anticipating my wife’s financial motives, including moving and withholding information that would later be challenged by mediation. She was patient which she instinctively knew would eventually inhibit my wife’s ability to view things rationally. She’s an incredible person, easy to work with and fair minded. I highly recommend Debra. Her vast years of experience will be your greatest asset whether you’re case is complicated or simple. Give her a call and discover for yourself. I am grateful that I chose her to settle my divorce. And you will be too.

Debra took on my case for custody over my 3 month old son at the time. Being a first time mom and having never been in this situation I was scared and didn’t know what to expect. Debra walked me through it all and helped give me hope and ease my anxiety of the unknown coming my way. Debra answered important emails very promptly, others that weren’t as important did take a bit longer (a week max) but with a lawyer as great as her you know she’s very busy. Any questions or concerns I had were always answered. I also think it’s wonderful and very kind of Debra to offer a free consult to help you determine if it’s a right fit before committing financially. Court is costly, not only emotionally but financially as well. I paid for other consults but did not feel like I had found the one and I was down 300-400$ every time I had a consult. Once I found Debra and had the initial consult I knew I needed her to represent me.

We hired Debra after we had enough of someone stocking/harassing us. I don’t think I have ever been this run down and emotionally drained my entire life having to fight this on my own.

She was my angel!! i highly highly recommend her to anyone!!

Debra was an amazing lawyer for me. Through the last year and a half, she showed me support and always listened to my questions to give me a detailed answer. She truly fought for me and my children to get what they deserve in the case. She also was understanding to financial hardships and I was able to pay balances in time.

Divorce is a gut-wrenching experience, even under the best of circumstances. In these situations you need an attorney who understands the law and understands the procedures and can help you manage both the emotional and the legal burdens. Knowing how difficult divorce can be for the individuals involved, Debra is an attorney who looks for solutions and resolution to difficult issues. Just as she did for me, she will stand up and fight hard for you when she needs to. I am a professional working and living in Monterey County and have high expectations. Debra met those expectations, She was always very responsive to my emails and texts and requests for meetings and was able to provide practical solutions. I highly recommend Debra if you are looking for an attorney who is experienced in both the practical and the legal sides of family law and divorce and who understands the emotional toll it will take. Her rates are very reasonable and from my experience if you need a divorce lawyer who will be on your side throughout, then you should definitely hire Debra and her team. Her assistant, Stefanie, is also very responsive and supportive and helped make the process even smoother.

I contacted Debra for a consultation and she was incredibly helpful. She is extremely knowledgeable, compassionate, and professional. She is quick to respond and provides timely, applicable feedback. I feel highly confident in her abilities and will proceed with hiring her when I need to. She puts you at ease and listens to your concerns and addresses them as necessary. I feel blessed that I found her, you will too!

I live in Nashville, TN. My kids live in CA. I called numerous attorneys who wouldn’t even speak with me without a $400 to $500 consultation fee. With very little money and very little hope left, I needed an attorney who would listen, could understand my situation and fight for me and my kids. Well, I am so grateful to have found a super hero in Debra Crawford. She is very busy but I have not once felt that she is too busy for me and my kids. She is not solely about winning for herself or for me. She is child focused. She is smart, tough and experienced. Being a long distant dad is very difficult but Debra has been there, even in crisis, to help give me confidence and hope that the time my kids and I need to be together is available and attainable. If you want what’s best for your kids in an almost always messy divorce situation then call Debra Crawford.

I personally had a great experience with Debra Crawford as my Attorney. I was able to find her easily online, and she is one of the very few Family Law Attornets who provides a free consultation. This was a great way for me to see if I liked her style and if she could help me. Debra Crawford is extremely skilled and knowledgeable in Family Law. Debra dealt with my case with compassion, and I truly felt she cared about me as her client. You can trust her judgement which will steer you in the right direction with ease and comfort. Debra has made going to court less stressful, and is truly there to represent you and your best interests.

I had the most amazing experience with Debra Crawford and her office staff. I not only found Debra Crawford's Law Office online and free consultation to be extremely helpful but Debra took the time to listen to my concerns. She is highly knowledgable on Family Law is very caring to help you in any way possible. So many emotions and getting through everyday was a struggle. Debra was beside me and guided me through on this very tough road, with so much true compassion and extreme care. Not only through many phone calls of mine but text messages and emails. She was there for me through thick and thin. One thing for sure Debra Crawford has your back and takes very good care of you through this rough period in your life.

My annulment case was transferred to Ms. Crawford after my initial lawyer had moved. Despite my apprehension over having a new lawyer appointed without my knowledge, I am now so thankful that my case was transferred to Debra. From the first meeting with her, I felt at ease to know that I was in the hands of someone that truly cared and took the time to understand my situation and me, as an individual. It was evident that she put the necessary time and effort into my case to fight for my annulment, which was ultimately granted. I would highly recommend Debra to anyone who is looking for an honest, knowledgeable, hardworking, supportive, and well-respected lawyer in Monterey County.

Mrs.Crawford is the best compassionate,great and genuine attorney that gets real results and is affordable!! I came to her for her expertise and knew I needed the proper representation since I am currently going through a child custody case that has caused me a lot of stress due to the lack of knowledge that I have in this area. (and she was the one) Mrs.Crawford is very honest and straight forward (which i like) but is very compassionate and understanding at the same time. She is very prompt in answering my questions whenever I had questions regarding my case or concerns, helped me understand what was being stated at the time thoroughly (where most attorneys don't have the patience , Mrs.Crawford DEFINITELY DOES!!!) We had gone to court, I was a nervous wreck but Mrs.Crawford reassured me every step of the way that everything will be fine and IT WAS!! Debra Crawford is a very personable,caring,knowledgeable and unbelievably reasonable in her fees. Where most attorneys will make you bleed money; Mrs. Crawford displays that it is more then that to her. There isn't enough great things that I can express to describe Debra Crawford. I would definitely recommend Mrs.Crawford to anyone who is seeking the best representation in town. Im so very fortunate that she is my attorney that represents me in my present case. I would most definitely use her again!!

I have been working with Debra for 13 months with my custody dispute, I am in Florida and she is in California. She did a excellent job handling my case with the distance between us. She was very quick to answer any questions I had. She made me feel confident that I hired the right attorney when it came to go to court and present my case (I couldn't be there, and I didn't need to be!) If I ever need an attorney again in California, I would would not hesitate to hire her again. Thank you again Debra!!
