Patrick handled my divorce and child custody case with great calmness and objectivity. He was very attentive to my wishes and always communicated with the opposing party with great respect and in a non-inflammatory manner. This was very important to me, given the sensitivity of both parties through such an difficult and emotional process. I interviewed several lawyers and found that most were very eager to spark arguments that would have prolonged the process. Patrick never took this approach and we managed to settle our case without intervention from the court. I recommend him without an ounce of hesitation. Kudos to Pat!

Patrick Crawford served as my attorney for four years and provided me with service above and beyond anything I ever expected from an attorney, or anyone else. He is scrupulously professional, dedicated, responsive, and wise. Patrick always put my interests first and never failed to answer a question or deal with a concern. I really don’t know what I would have done without him.

Patrick is worth at least 2 to 3x more than what he charges hourly. In a world where you hear attorneys advertising their abilities to be aggressive and hostile and win, win, win...Patrick cuts through all that BS and focuses on what really matters - and in family court, it seems like his approach is the best approach to take. I started with a different law firm and Patrick took on my case right before we went to trial. He went through over one year's worth of legal documents in a short amount of time. He was logical and rational and knew exactly what to spend time on and what things to not bother entertaining. Dealing with family court is stressful and his approach also alleviated a lot of the emotional taxation I was feeling. I also live out of state and he has been really good about working around my ability to travel. He also appears to be on good terms with other attorneys and the judges as well, which is important. Honestly, I don't really feel like my review can do him justice. I made a phone call to the Anne Arundel County Bar Association one afternoon after a hearing where I represented myself and his name was the first name I was given. I am just soooo glad I made that phone call that afternoon because I am completely happy with the results of the case.

Patrick was truly exceptional in representing me through my recent divorce. He provided excellent advice, and always had my best interest in mind. Ultimately the divorce process ended up being seamless, thanks to Patrick always staying ahead of the process. Thanks for all of your help Patrick!

I hired Patrick to assist with a divorce. He was extremely responsive to my needs day or night. I couldn't be more happy with his work. I would use him in the future before any others (hopefully not for another divorce). Joe

I have been working with Patrick for over a year on my divorce. He has at all times been engaged, efficient, and patient. I'm sure each case presents challenges and mine is no different. Patrick has walked me through each step in the process, taking the time to explain when I needed clarification. I would and have recommended him.

Mr. Crawford was very detailed and very diligent on a case that was against me for child custody and at the end I got more than I expected on my case! I couldn't have been more happy!

I couldn't be happier with my choice in hiring Patrick Crawford. From day one I explained to him this will probably not be an easy case and I did not have much money. I am a young father who was just fighting for my rights to have an equal opportunity to raise my son. Patrick Crawford worked with me on the finances and gave sound legal advice all the way through the court battle. Among all of the evidence I provided he utilized the evidence that he knew was crucial to the case and sorted out the evidence that would not bear weight in court. In the end, he fought my case in trial and did very well in court considering the other party was fighting for full physical and full legal with me only having my son every other weekend. My son is 16 months old and I now have both joint physical and joint legal custody of him in a state that is often seen as a mother-favoring state. I am so excited to move on with our lives and now have a future with my son that is no longer limited and I am so grateful for Mr. Crawford's efforts and patience for my case. I definitely recommend him.

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.
