Family Law
Generally, family law refers to family-related matters such as marriage, domestic partnerships, adoptions, paternity, guardianships, surrogacy, child custody, and the dissolution of marriage. These issues affect nearly everyone and the best way to protect yourself, to protect your family, and to prevent unnecessary conflict is to take action in advance with the help of a professional advisor, such as Michael Crawford. Numerous issues surround marriage and the dissolution of a marriage, including premarital agreements, postmarital agreements, divorce, division of assets, child custody, spousal support, and child support. The Crawford Law Firm is prepared to assist you with all of these issues.
Criminal Law
Once a person is charged with or even suspected of committing a crime, that person needs adequate legal assistance as soon as possible. The Crawford Law Firm is prepared to represent you if you have been charged with theft, battery, arson, sexual offenses, drug crimes, DWI, juvenile crimes, traffic violations, and other violent and nonviolent crimes. Criminal procedure and the judicial process are complicated and sometimes frightening areas. Michael Crawford is willing and able to put in the time, the effort and the resources needed to safeguard your individual rights and make your criminal defense the success it should be.
Estate Planning
The only way to ensure your belongings are divided according to your wishes after your death is to create a viable estate plan. Moreover, unless the necessary precautions are taken, your loved ones might not be responsible for important decisions regarding your health and assets in the event that you are incapacitated. An effective estate plan arranges for the efficient transfer of an individual's estate according to the individual’s wishes. Estate planning is essential for both those with large estates and those with modest assets. Among other tools with which the Crawford Law Firm is prepared to assist, an effective estate plan might include a will, trusts, a power of attorney, and a health care directive.
Real Estate
Real estate law can be a complicated mixture of contract principles, federal and state regulations, and any number of local ordinances. An attorney is an indispensable tool when you are transacting for the sale, purchase, or lease of real estate. The landlord-tenant relationship can become taxing, and you need an experienced attorney to handle these issues properly and expeditiously. Landlords can take a number of different preventative actions in protecting their property from unruly tenants. Michael Crawford has in-depth training and substantial experience with real estate transactions and is ready to assist you.
Personal Injury
Enduring injury in any accident is both a demanding and unnerving experience. The victim of a number of different types of accidents (automobile, plane or boating accident, medical malpractice, intentional assault, dog bites, defective or dangerous products, and others) may have a personal injury claim. If you are the victim of such an accident, the Crawford Law Firm may be able to obtain damages and payment for injuries, including hospital bills, lost income, rehab, therapy, durable medical equipment, and in-home care.
