I ran into an unusual case that I needed someone in the field to fight for me. And that's exactly what she did. I'm grateful for her because she believed in me and went beyond her means to help me. It was a victory case and my innocence is restored again. And that's priceless.

Julie Crawford was a godsend during such an awful time. I am a mother and have my own business. When I was thrown into jail by the Monterey police and treated like a criminal, I couldn't even begin to accept what was happening. On the way back to my hotel after dinner, I made a turn down a one way street at night, where the hotel was located. I am not from the area, and didnt realize it was one way until I began to turn. I saw the sign and was able to safely pull into the vallet. The police officer on the corner intersection pulled behind me and asked if I had anything to drink. I had just had a glass at dinner. He put me through a field sobriety test, in which I complied and was able to complete each one easily. It didn't matter how I did, because they were going to arrest me anyway. They wrote so many thing in the report to try and justify the arrest, regarding my appearance and behavior. They were awful to me and I felt so helpless. They sent me to the Salinas county jail where I was put into a small, filthy cell, where the toilet is exposed to everyone there, and given no information about when I would be let out. I spent two days sitting there without sleep. I was desperate to have someone help me and prove that I was not deserving of this charge. I first called a lawyer who seems popular in the Salinas area. He did nothing but talk about how great he was, and went on about off topic information, like cars, until telling me my case was hopeless and I'd probably go to jail. He didn't believe me or take the time to hear me. He said he wouldn't review the tapes from the holding facility, which I knew would help my case! I was in such a deep depression over this and just needed someone to treat me fairly. Julie was so kind to me. She let me tell her every detail and didn't cut me off once. She took each phone call and answered every question. She honestly cares. I could feel it. She had so much compassion and did everything she could to collect evidence. After retrieving the video footage from the holding facility. She took the time to watch this lengthy tape, and said that it was exactly what we needed. Because I was taken directly to this facility after the arrest, we were able to disprove everything that the officer said about my demeanor and state of being. It was clear that I was not drunk. She asked the District Attourney to watch it, and after review, he agreed. They lowered my charge to a reckless. I accepted the charge to avoid going to trial and dragging out what makes me sick to think about--that night. Julie will always have my respect and appreciation for her work to provide me justice. She is knowledgable and trustworthy. She even called me on the weekend from her cell phone to provide me information. She is a great lawyer, but is also very grounded. She treats you as a priority. I'd recommend her to anyone! You won't be sorry.

I had an old DUI case that I needed to deal with and so I called Julie and had a free consultation regarding my case. She was very thorough in looking at my case and determining the best action to take. From beginning to end, Julie was easy to talk to and when the day came to present my case to the judge, Julie was right by my side and the ending result was that my case was dismissed! I could not be happier and more grateful to Julie and her staff for taking such great care of me!

Julie helped me tremendously to straighten up my life after a second DUI and controlled substance charge. Julie's hard work resulted in an incredibly positive outcome for my case. She was able to mitigate my DUI to a wet and reckless and get the possession offense removed entirely from my record. Most importantly, Julie granted me the peace of mind I needed in order to move forward with my life in a more positive direction. I would highly recommend Julie Crawford to anyone in need of an excellent defense attorney.

So far, it has been an initial consultation. I was very impressed with our conversation about my situation. Ms. Crawford was very knowledgeable and very helpful during our conversation. I had spoken with a couple of other attorneys on multiple occasions in the past and by far, Ms. Crawford was the most helpful. I received excellent information and advice. Ms. Crawford was very quick to respond to my email and phone calls. I look forward to speaking with Ms. Crawford again soon. -Stevenson

Julie recently helped me get my felony DUI reduced to a misdemeanor. She is knowledgeable & experienced, down to earth, & has a very comforting presence. In contrast to my first lawyer, I felt very much in capable hands with Julie. I would & have highly recommended her to others.

Ms. Crawford got my DUI dropped! She spent lots of time talking to me and getting all the details of my case. She charged a reasonable fee and her and her staff treated me with respect and dignity. I highly recommend her firm to anyone in trouble!

Ms Julie Crawford is the most trustworthy and knowledgeable lawyer I have ever met. I had two felony charges. Both of these charges where dropped, thanks to Julie Crawford. Julie is not only a great lawyer but she really cares about you as a person. She always took the time to make sure that I understood what was going on, even if she had to explain things more than once, she did it without hesistation. Julie gave me my life back. She is by far the lawyer I would recommend to anyone in need of legal help. Thank you Julie for all you dedication and hardwork, I will never forget what you did for me.
