The decision you make about who will represent you is one of the most important decisions you will ever make. The stakes could not be any higher when you are facing a criminal prosecution. Because your liberty is at stake it is critical that you choose an attorney that is dedicated to their craft and committed to their clients.

At the Law Offices of Alan A. Crawford, we recognize the importance of quality representation. Each day we witness the turmoil a criminal prosecution can bring to one’s life. We counsel clients as they deal with the direct and collateral consequences of being charged with a criminal offense. That is why we have a vested interest in the outcome of all of our cases. When faced with uncertain possibilities, as it relates to your freedom, the one certainty you do have is that we will never stop fighting for you.
