A competent and experienced attorney, but communication could improve

I engaged Joseph Crawford to handle a complex post-judgment modification involving child custody and support across state lines. With his 31 years of experience and recognition in Family Law, I was confident in his legal acumen, and that confidence was generally well-placed. His analysis of the jurisdictional issues was thorough, and he leveraged his mediation background effectively during settlement discussions, which I appreciated. The final outcome was solid and fair. However, my experience was marked by inconsistent communication. There were periods where responses to emails took several days, and updates often felt reactive rather than proactive. While his paralegal was more accessible, I sometimes wished for more direct insight from Mr. Crawford himself on procedural timelines. For straightforward legal strategy, his expertise from the Hanson Crawford Crum Family Law Group is evident. Yet, for clients who prioritize frequent, clear communication and managing expectations on process, there may be some frustration. He is undoubtedly knowledgeable, but the client service aspect felt merely adequate.
