Hired Attorney Martelia T. Crawford

I received the desired outcome by utilizing the services of her firm. However, I don't really recall very much correspondence coming from her firm, aside from a small handful of letters/documents. I feel that most of the tough negotiating work that determined the outcome of the settlement was done by a mediator, not by anyone from this law firm. That having been said, however, in the end I was satisfied with the outcome of the case and I would recommend it to a friend or family.

After charging me $ 2,500 to prepare a few documents from time to time, she ultimately ended up sending me to a mediator, who was able to conclude the matter. The mediator charged me $ 200. It seems like the mediator did most of the hard negotiating work. It seems like all Martelia Crawford did was to prepare a few standard documents and legal responses. It certainly did not seem like $ 2,500 worth of work.

Hired Attorney Martelia T. Crawford

Ultimately, I got a satisfactory outcome from using her services: My wife got the child support from her ex-husband. However, it didn't seem like her firm performed a lot of work for the money that they received. The actual child support settlement was negotiated by a mediator, not by the lawyer. Maybe there was some extra work that was done behind the scenes, but I didn't see it or hear about it. I guess it was worth the money spent to hire her, since we got a favorable outcome.

Very poor communication skills. Good office organization for court orders, etc. but slow with discovery and finances. Good for custody though.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews

Ratings and reviews are feedback from people who have either consulted an attorney about an issue (but may not have hired the attorney) or people who hired an attorney as a current or former client and provided their feedback to our sister site, Avvo.com.
