What Is a Defense Attorney?

A defense attorney is a legal professional who represents individuals, organizations, or groups in legal proceedings when they have been accused of committing a crime. The defense attorney's role is to protect their client's rights and provide them with legal representation in court.

Their responsibilities can include reviewing evidence, questioning witnesses, conducting investigations, negotiating plea deals, filing motions, and arguing in court on account of their client. They may also counsel their clients on the best course of action to take during legal proceedings and provide them with support throughout the entire legal process.

  • “Michael is not just my attorney, he is also my friend now because he is just that nice of a person.”
    Michael J. Crawford is a graduate of Southern Methodist University Dedman School of Law in Dallas. He chose to open his own law practice in his hometown of Kerens in lieu of practicing with a big firm in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. He works hard for clients. He is known as the "Blue Collar Lawyer" because he gives 110% effort for every client. I was very impressed with his professionalism, understanding, and expression of sincerity while he was handling my case. Michael is not just my attorney, he is also my friend now because he is just that nice of a person. Thanks, Michael for protecting my rights.

  • “He is very knowledgeable and passionate about the law.”
    Mr. Crawford was awesome at handling my complex custody issues. Through the process, trumped-up charges were brought against me. Mr. Crawford was available over the weekend and at night at the peak of my issues when I needed him the most. His advice was on point and everything worked out like he advised it would. He is very knowledgable and passionate about the law. He doesn't just make deals. He fights for justice and wins.

He is aggressive and one time said, "I love to fight" -- exactly what I am looking for in a lawyer. I would recommend his office to anyone looking for a tough, smart lawyer. He knows the people, he knows the law and will not let you down.
