I retained Mr. Crawford for a child support modification and I could not have been more satisfied with my end result. Mr. Crawford was very knowledgeable and speedy in resolving my issues and guided me through the process with care and compation. His fees for his excellent work are very reasonable and worth every penny. I recommend him as the top notch family law attorney to go to for all of your family legal needs. I hope that I do not have to retain his services again but I will do so without hesitation should the need arise. Hiring Mr. Crawford is a smart choice.

Patrick Crawford is one of the best lawyers I have ever met. He paid close attention to detial, was extremely professional, and very personable. During a difficult divorce process, he made sure to make the process smooth and worry free. He took complete control and succeeded beyond expectations. Besides his prestigious education, Patrick also has a solid demeanour in the courtroom. As a medical professional, success during the process was of the upmost imprtance and Patrick delivered. I highly recommend him to anyone in the Maryland/DC area.

I am extremely satisfied with Patrick and his abilities to get me the best results in my case. He was very knowledgeable and always kept me informed about my case. He was relentless and a go getter in pursuing a victory for me. He still answers my questions even after my case was settled. I would use him again and recommend him to and of my friends, family, or the general public.

Tucked away in the heart of Annapolis is this highly recommended esquire of family law. Patrick Crawford takes advantage of his considerable expertise and experience, adds technology, and is thus one of the most efficient lawyers I have heard about, much less experienced. His advice is frank and direct, even when it is not what one wants to hear. He is a no-nonsense, "get-it-done" fellow who tells it like it is and makes it happen. He works as a partner with his client throughout the legal process. He's also personable enough and just sympathetic enough to make the legal wrangles more pallatable. Do not let his youthful looks deceive you - this is a veteran with the knowledge and experience to guard a client's interests and pursue the best possible course, but still let the client stear. An invaluable counselor. RJR

Having never been involved in a divorce proceeding before, Patrick Crawford put me at ease, explained fully up front what to expect in this adversarial situation, my rights and obligations, time constraints, data required, court procedure, and costs involved. Timely communications between attorney and client was of the essence, and my attorney fully complied in all respects. He was always available to answer any questions and to alert me to the next step in the process. He was fully trustworthy which was very important to me. And he was clearly competent in his knowledge and application of the law. He seemed to be highly respected by his peers both at the courthouse and among opposing counsel. The fact that he is a sole practitioner, I believe, stood him in good stead with me because I felt I was receiving his full attention and the closeness of his office to the court house further expedited his responses to the court with minimum delay and expense.

Patrick Crawford provided succinct and salient guidance throughout my case. His advise was consistently reliable well-timed and valuable. I received clear explanations of the implications of my alternatives. His responsiveness was outstanding. Every response was always timely. I am not by any means a "big" client yet I received a superior level of service

Mr. Crawford provided accurate information. He was always diligent in keeping me up to date and examining all options. He provided a realistic view of the legal process.

Mr. Crawford represented me as the Defendant in an action to enforce a marital property and separation agreement approximately eight years after the final divorce decree. After a period of 18 months which included filing and granting of two protective orders, the case went to a merits hearing and the court returned a just and favorable ruling in my case. Based on my experience in this specific matter, I would highly recommend Mr. Crawford. Additional Information Below Mr. Crawford was a knowledgeable and responsive advocate in a case that was complicated by the intrusive and unfounded actions of the plaintiff and her attorney. It was for this reason that two motions for protective order were filed - both of which were granted. Mr. Crawford's filings in this matter were excellent. He distilled a great deal of information into two coherent, comprehensive, and compelling documents. Due to the nature of the litigation, there were a number of other occasions where Mr. Crawford needed to engage with the Plaintiff's counsel. He did so professionally and effectively, even at times where Plaintiff's counsel was extremely difficult to deal with. Mr. Crawford's correspondence with Plaintiff's counsel included the preparation of several well-written, clearly stated, and well substantiated settlement offers and a point-by-point analysis and response to the Plaintiff's unsubstantiated settlement offer. Mr. Crawford's preparation for the merits hearing was consistent with his involvement throughout this case - rigorous, comprehensive, and thoughtful. At the merits hearing itself his opening statement and summation were both outstanding - logical and clearly presented. His cross-examination of the Plaintiff identified a number of inconsistencies and omissions in Plaintiff's direct testimony. Mr. Crawford's questioning of the one defense witness in addition to myself resulted in critical evidence being introduced that provided the basis for the subsequent favorable ruling. His questioning of me as the Defendant enabled me to tell a logical story that further substantiated the testimony of the other defense witness and enabled us to make the key points in our defense. The completeness of our testimony is seen in the fact that the judge asked only one clarifying question - and that was to ask me to confirm that he had clearly understood our position on a key issue. He had accurately understood our position and that understanding, supported by written evidence, provided the foundation for his ruling. Mr. Crawford encouraged and supported my active involvement in the progress of my case. He took time to understand the details of the case and consider my thoughts and comments while, equally important, never allowing me to drive the case in inappropriate direction. From my perspective, Mr. Crawford and I functioned as an effective collaborative team without which we would not have achieved the favorable outcome.
