Crawford Law: Michigan Federal Criminal Defense & Civil Rights Representation

You Deserve a Defender Who Isn’t Afraid to Fight Back

If you’re facing a criminal charge, believe law enforcement violated your rights, or if you’ve been involved in an auto accident in Michigan, choosing the right attorney is critical. You need someone who understands the law, knows the system, and refuses to back down—no matter who’s on the other side.

At Crawford Law, we have earned a reputation as true trial attorneys. We stand up to the government, challenge unlawful police conduct, and fight relentlessly for the people we represent.

Presumed Innocent. Protected at Every Step.

The law says you are innocent unless—and until—the government proves otherwise. But the moment you’re charged, life changes instantly. People treat you differently. Stress and uncertainty take over. And it can feel like the world has already decided your fate.

Our job is to protect you.
To safeguard your rights.
To hold the government to its burden of proof.
And to make sure justice is not just talked about—but pursued.

Alan A. Crawford represented my dad in court and did an excellent job. He was always quick to respond, no matter the time, and made sure to explain everything clearly so we could understand the process. He consistently went to see my dad at the jail and kept us informed by sending important paperwork and updates throughout the case. He’s extremely knowledgeable and professional, and thanks to his hard work, my dad’s sentence was even reduced. I truly appreciate everything he did for our family. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated criminal defense attorney.

Torey Jackson

He is one of the best attorneys around. If you need someone to fight for you call him.

Jon Nettles

Everybody's experience is different. Our justice system is too often unfair and corrupt. I suggest anyone accused of a crime be personally involved in the direction of their case and not just depend on any attorney. It's your life and your freedom on the line! Trust in God.

Cayden

Alan handle my case great I had multiple other lawyers tell me I would have to do time in jail, went to Alan Crawford he made me a 90 % promise that I would not step foot in a jail cell again for my felony I indeed did not and now have a clean record thanks to Alan!

Scottie Robinson

Alan Crawford is an incredible lawyer! I was in jail, stressed about my case, until I hired him. He showed up in person, explained everything clearly, and immediately put my mind at ease. Everything went exactly how he said it would. I made the judge upset and I was facing a felony charge. Alan managed to get it dropped to a lesser charge. Best outcome I could ask for. Highly recommend!
