Chris G. ,
“Best appellate lawyer in California. We were referred to James Crawford to file my appeals by attorney Lorrie Walton. After my trial I ended up spending 18 years in prison for a murder I didn’t commit. If it weren’t for him, I’d still be in prison. Mr. Crawford fought hard to get me out!”
Henry ,
“Better than anticipated results. Went in only hoping to avoid some aggravating circumstances on my charges, ended up having the charges dismissed altogether. Can’t beat that!”

“Do not feel I could have found a better lawyer in California. Jim worked hard and got Felony DUI charges for DUI on Prescription Drugs reduced to an infraction. Other lawyers commented in court that they were astounded with what he did.”
Jeff ,
“I know that for a fact Mr. Crawford is one of the best attorneys I have ever come across. My son was wrongly convicted and sentenced to 15 years. Mr. Crawford got him out. He did a great job and went beyond the call of duty. I am forever grateful.”
Tricia Salgado ,
“I was wrongfully convicted of a violent felony. In total despair, I had given up all hope. Then my cousin told me about James M. Crawford. He helped me file an appeal and won the case! He saved my hide. This guy is something else in the courtroom. He stood his ground and fought for me. He really cared, and now I’m a free man – rightfully so. Thank you, Mr. Crawford!”
