"We highly recommend that you speak with David L. Crockett before choosing an attorney for any estate or other legal matter. The trust property we had to deal with had not been maintained and had fallen into severe disrepair. Everything from plumbing to electricity to the building exterior and plant overgrowth was on the list. We worked long hours trying to sort and clear years of clutter and accumulation, make repairs, keep up taxes utilities etc. We kept the records we thought were needed and useful in developing a plan for progress. “Time went fast, and progress went slow.” Our struggles dealing with the trust were steadily moving beyond our abilities to resolve; we realized that we definitely needed help. Also we ourselves, as time passed, were contributing to our need for resolution. It was daunting that we would have to have help from a CPA, a licensed Real Estate Broker/Lawyer and someone who had the ability to communicate direction and legal advice specific to our situation. Multiple years of accounting and record keeping needed to be adequate and organized for negotiating the path from tax filings, title company closing and any other legal requirements of disclosure and trust distribution fulfillment. We had contacted several lawyers and professionals, but only became more confused actually. Then, fortunately we contacted David L. Crockett. David is prepared to guide and represent you in all of those areas. Mr. Crockett’s manner is professional, positive and efficient. Working with David L. Crockett was the best possible decision we could have made."

Mary Beth is the most cooperative, efficient, and valuable attorney I have ever worked with in any area of law. Her advice proved invaluable. She is a tenacious negotiator. Her fees proved to be completely reasonable. Most importantly she got results, where two previous attorneys floundered. Thanks so much.

Mary Beth Holloway rarely talked to me about my case. She never took my side and actually fought for me. If you want evidence I will gladly share a photo for you. Please look elsewhere for a family law attorney.

Day One, I was scared and beyond afraid. Marybeth Halloway has helped me come a long way. My ex and I finalized our divorce in 2016. We only went to court 1 time. Custody- done in a few hours, TRO- done, she made sure to expressed what I wanted in the final round. She's not someone who can be pushed around. She's a strong force. She knows the OC courts very well and has the best bench manners. She's very well established and she's taken seriously. I was lucky to have her be the 2nd phone call I made as I was googling an atty. I got lucky. She is usually busy, bcs that's how good she is. I referred a friend of mine also 2 years ago. It was a bit difficult for him because there was somewhat of a language barrier, but he was very happy with the final divorce also. Be sure to know exactly what you want and she will help you. She was there for me all around the clock. She restored my faith in people i when my heart was shattered. She will tell you exactly how it is and will not candy coat anything. I got lucky, I hope you are able to be lucky too.

AAAAA+++++ I am the guy that gave up a Kidney for his Freedom! I have Mary Beth to thank for getting me through the courts and helping me and my children to a better life.

This was a very unique situation that David helped us with. We contacted the owner of the property through a direct mail campaign because he was in default on both loans he had on the property. He was about 3 weeks away from foreclosure and a Trustee Sale on the property. We brought both loans current for the owner so he did not have to worry about being evicted. This was very important to the owner for a couple of reasons. First, he was terminally ill and didn't know how long he had to live. He could not work and was trying to survive on a social security check that was far short of meeting his needs. Second, he had been living in the house for 37 years and expressed to us he wanted to die there. We put the property under contract and agreed to let him live in the house until that day came. It did in January of 2017 and even though we had the house under contract, the owner's sister came out of the woodwork and tried fighting us for the property. That's when we consulted with David to get his advice. We found out very soon that David had a tremendous amount of knowledge and experience with Probate. We hired him on the spot and the battle began. I think keeping clear record of all transactions helped us through this mess. Whenever David needed a document to show or prove a point, I was able to provide those docs. The sister hired an attorney to fight for the house but ultimately once we had our day in court, the judge ruled in our favor because all documentation and contracts were in order. This battle took almost a year to complete from the time it went into Probate and we are 100% convinced that this property wouldn't have come to us if David didn't know his stuff. In fact, I talked with 2 other attorneys prior to hiring David and both of them told me my chances were "slim to none" that I would prevail. David was very honest from the beginning and after looking at my file, said he felt we had at least an 80% chance of getting the house. That was good enough for me to go into battle with David by my side. It paid off. We are now the proud owners of a beautiful house with an ocean view in Laguna Beach, CA.

After two years of working with Mary Beth through a brutal divorce, I cannot speak highly enough of her. She has been simply exceptional at fighting for me and my interests. My divorce involved child-custody, a home sale, a cross-country move, and investment divisions. She always attempted to negotiate first with my ex-wife's attorney. When we had no choice but to push back against opposing counsel on issues, Mary Beth would fight for me unapologetically. At times, it felt like she cared more about my situation than I did. Through 24+ months of billing, I always felt like she was very fair on fees. That alone is enough for a 5 star recommendation. If you are looking for a reference on Mary Beth, please message me and I would be happy to talk. Good luck. Peter

I met attorney David Leslie Crockett for a free consultation. He is a very nice and sincere person. He is patient to listen to my problem and try to help me to solve the problem with an affordable price. I am considering to hire attorney David Leslie Crockett for my living trust.

I have been a very satisfied client of David Crockett, who has represented me in numerous business and personal cases, besides being one of the most capable and efficient CPA who handles all my income tax returns since 1991. David is a very honest person and always provides me sound advice, and treats me with respect.

Mr. Crockett has provided our family and businesses with over 20 years of excellent service in law, real estate, and corporate and personal tax matters. Depth of knowledge and professional conduct is foremost with Crockett Law Corporation. We place our complete confidence in David and recently completed our revised estate planning with him. Thank you David! Truly, Gerald Jendrian

David Crockett has been my tax adviser and estate planner for over thirty years. He drew up my will and trust as well as my mothers. He has advised me on how to hold title on various properties. He astute and knows the law. I would highly recommend him as an attorney and as an estate planner.

I was extremely interested in learning all that I could about general estate planning and asset protection matters while I was searching for an attorney that I could entrust to handle my assets. I was very apprehensive handing control over to someone else to help protect everything that I had worked my whole life to amass. David was very thorough and kept me informed every step of the way. He set my heirs up so they will never have to worry about anything. I was very impressed with his work and how he kept me in the loop. I would recommend him.
