Mrs. Crawford represented me in a very complex DV case. Her knowledge and experience as an attorney was so evident from the beginning. She helps her clients with professionalism, commitment and support. Her genuine compassion, patience and sensitive ear made it possible for me to share my truth. Throughout the difficult process she always made sure I understood even if she had to explain it twice. Days before my case went to trial, Mrs. Crawford was able to have my case dismissed. She faught for my innocence with definite aggression. I will never forget the amazing and rigorous work she did. I regained my life back. She is an extraordinary attorney and I highly recommend her. Go Crawford Lawfirm!!!

Julie Crawford is one of the best attorneys in this area, there are very few people I can attest have changed and/or saved my life and she is one of them. I was charged with some serious felonies, I saw my life crumble before my eyes, everything I have worked for seems to vanish and the life I knew, what I value and have cherish will no longer be a part of me. The devastation, pure and utter fear of what was coming my way left me gasping for dear life. At times I did not know if I wanted continue, I did not know how I was going to carry on with my life if I got convicted, I could not find meaning or desire to continue for these were some serious charges, I truly felt like giving up. Julie’s honesty is one of the things I ended up appreciating the most from her, she didn’t paint pink clouds for me as some attorneys try to tell you all these things so you can hire them. She actually provided me with resources of public defenders the first time I met with her, never trying to get me to hire her at all. She fought this case so hard even when I felt like giving up, she kept working and fighting my case. She got my case to be completely dismiss, she fought it all the way till the end, she truly fought for my own life even when I felt like giving up. There is no amount of money, not enough thank yous when someone assists you in that magnitude. I know that if I wouldn’t have hired her I would have been convicted and my life would have been damage beyond repair, there is no doubt in my mind about that. Thank God I found Julie Crawford, thank God there are lawyers like her, the best lawyer in this area.

I hired Ms. Crawford after an arrest for felony theft. I met with her where she fully explained the charges, fines and jail time, process of hearings, investigating the charges, possible settlement, and her fees. She was knowledgeable and considerate. I have never been arrested, let alone spent a night in jail. I was overwhelmed but after meeting with her I felt reassured that I had a lawyer that would really fight for me. Her fees were reasonable. The charges were dismissed. Completely gone like it never happened. I cannot thank her enough. I would recommend her highly.

Dealing with the law is sickening and scary. All your life you have been an upstanding citizen and suddenly you are an offender, lawbreaker and a criminal. If you are reading this, then, I know how you feel. Julie Crawford felt it too when she met me for a free consultation. I hadn’t made up my mind as to whether I wanted to hire her or not because she was the first attorney I met with. In my case, I couldn’t remember the details of that night, but I knew there was camera recording. She said she will obtain the recordings even if I decided not to hire her as my attorney. Who would do that these days? I called a few others to get a feel on cost and the quality of attorneys in my area. Her fee, just like the quality of her work, is above average and non-negotiable. Julie is a straight shooter; she tells you what she is going to do, then she does exactly what she said. On the very first day we met, she said she will get my case dismissed, and we will not settle for anything less. Today, my case was dismissed. Throughout the entire process, she was easily reachable, which was comforting. Furthermore, she is professional and pleasant not only toward her clients, but also to her counterparts, which I would like to believe has an impact on the outcome of the case. Finally, she has now surpassed my expectation by not only dismissing the case, but also getting the case sealed… with no additional cost. I also want to add that she has a great secretary, namely Carla, and the dog in the picture is Darwin. If you want to get back to your normal life, at the very least, sit with her for a free consultation. You owe it to yourself.

I can't say enough kind words about Julie Crawford. When I needed help the most, she was there to hear me and put a plan forward for a resolution. She is a true professional and treated me with dignity and respect from beginning to end. Shes well known and respected in this system. That really matters more than I knew going into this. She was very fair with her pricing which was refreshing at such a critical time. I was patient through what felt like a lifetime but in reality was only weeks before she had my situation resolved with a dismissal. She's amazing and will find any way possible to get you the best results possible for everyone involved. She didn't just council me legally, but individually...as a person and a woman. I have a great appreciation and respect for this woman and can't thank her enough for her helping to make me whole again.

Julie Crawford is a well-versed attorney with proven results. Not only does she understand the law, but also the people she would be working with. She aggressively fought for my case and won. Ms. Crawford answered all of my numerous questions throughout the process and was upfront of next steps. She was also quick to respond to any messages I would leave if she was out-of-office. She is very professional, kept me up-to-date, and made the entire process as less stressful as possible. I cannot speak highly enough of her and would recommend Julie Crawford to anyone with legal issues.

After being given a ridiculously overdramatized Domestic Violence charge, I had no idea where to turn. Neither my husband and I had any idea what had happened or where to go next. I received a post card from The Crawford Firm in the mail and quickly contacted Julie in an effort to see what my options were. She responded immediately and gave me several meeting options for our first consultation. When we met, she listened to me, she believed me, she even modified the angle of the case she was going to make to ensure my husband didn't get into any trouble. She was kind and compassionate and reassured me the entire way through. She always made time for my calls and questions and answered them clearly. My charges got upped the DAY before my arraignment and she still stayed cool and helped me find a trustworthy lawyer to represent my husband to ensure he wasn't manipulated by the DA and hopefully prevent a seperation order between us. At my arraignment, she advocated for me with the prosecuting DA and my charges were dropped to a simple infraction. I could not believe how well she handled it. Hiring Julie was the best thing I ever did! I'm going to school in a career that would have been impossible with a DV charge and she made it disappear. 11 days after the incident, we were done! I highly recommend Julie Crawford, she is worth every penny.

I was facing some serious charges after a night on the town while vacationing in California went awry. Julie worked diligently with all involved parties, including military authorities, to bring closure to an embarrassing issue. She was always positive in her outlook and was careful to manage my expectations of the outcome. She took additional time to consider how one outcome vs another would affect all parties and navigated through the legal process like a seasoned professional. At the end of the day she was able to work a deal and the court dropped all criminal charges. My family and I can finally move forward after this life changing event shook our foundation.

After getting not just a dui but dui with injury, I thought my life was over. But Ms Julie will do everything she can for you. When I first emailed her my situation, she called me back instantly. For sure I made the right decision in hiring them as my lawyers. It was a really long process, but in that process she will always make sure that I always understood everything that was going on. I was scared/depress and she reassured me that everything will be ok. If I had question not only I could reach her In the office but also she has a cell phone number I could call. Finally at the end, the injury part was dropped and only charged with dui, which was really a blessing because of the current situation I had with my job. My drivers license is not revoked for a year, that would have been a nightmare for if it was. I am not good in expressing myself in words but all in all I just wanna say thank you for everything that my lawyers have done for me.

I contacted Julie initially when I realized I needed help through a situation involving an accusation of welfare fraud and perjury. I consulted with her and she gave me honest advice as to what expect and left the door open for any further question. I ended up hiring Ms. Crawford and it was the best choice I made through this really hard time. She was able to get the charges reduced and felony charges dropped completely. Through the entire process, she remained in communication with me, explaining what was going to happen, walking with me to and from court and standing by my side in the court room. Out of the lawyers I consulted with, she was the one who was positive and confident of a positive outcome for my situation. Through the entire process, she was compassionate and supportive. If you find yourself in a situation needing help, I would HIGHLY recommend contacting the Crawford Law Firm. I cannot thank Julie Crawford enough for helping me through this.

We live in LA and our son who is in college in Monterey got intoxicated and walked into the neighbor's campus house. (They were all friends) The neighbor's were not home. Our son was hungry and started making a grilled cheese sandwich and was standing there holding some of the neighbor's possessions when she arrived home. He had no intent to steal. The neighbor had no problem and sent my son home. When she told her boyfriend on the phone, he called the police. Our son was sent to jail for 15 days and charged with a felony. He was given a Public Defender (PD) who urged our son to take the felony. Salinas area has a 98% incarceration rate. Our college son's future was at stake. What started out with a college drunk evening was escalating into a serious charge. We are in LA, CA. 300 miles away and worried sick. For a year our son appeared in court with his court appointed PD who urged him to take the felony and was very perturbed when our son stated he would not accept that charge. He accepted his consequences in this situation, but felt a felony was too harsh of a sentence. The PD wanted to label our son something that he wasn't. Our son was getting lost in the legal system. After a year the PD stated, "take the felony, if you go to trial you will probably get a felony and a strike". Our son stated that in his heart he did not deserve this verdict and would find other representation. I went online and started calling and interviewing each lawyer in the Salinas/Monterey area. JULIE CRAWFORD was rated the highest of all. After speaking with many lawyers, it was so obvious that JULIE CRAWFORD was the very best. So pointed out legalities and information no one else saw. She believed in our son and felt that this case was a misdemeanor. JULIE CRAWFORD never dropped the ball. After 6 months our son's case was dropped to a misdemeanor. (without going to trial) He was charged w/ Petty Theft/Burglary! And it can be expunged in 3 years! Everybody has a right to be defended. But, you need to find the right lawyer who believes in you and will fight for you. Writing this in Gratitude for JULIE CRAWFORD! If you need legal help, have the courage to take the first step~ don't settle~ call JULIE CRAWFORD. It's never too late. Believe in yourself. Be persistent. And find a lawyer who feels the same way about your case. A BIG THANK YOU to JULIE CRAWFORD (our son is finishing college and has a bright future now!)

In July of 2014 I went into my neighbor's college dorm house drunk & looking for food & more liquor. The police charged w/ a residential burglary which is a felony strike. I spent 2 weeks in jail, a year w/ a Court appointed public defender. Even after a year going to AA meetings, no problems w/ the law and providing multiple documents showing my true honest character the court still would not reduce my charges. With my only option of a felony on my record, I hired Julie Crawford. She was able to reduce my charges w/out a trial to a misdemeanor ( petty theft / burglary). Now I am finishing college and going on with my life as a responsible citizen. She was a great attorney & I highly recommend her! Thanks Julie Crawford.
