5 stars

Crabtree and Patterson was a blessing. I am in awe of how amazing they were and effective. They were patient with me, and worked with me financially which I greatly appreciated. Everything was taken care of in a swift manner. My ticket was dismissed and they are working to have it expunged from my record. Which I greatly appreciate, because I am a single mother and can’t afford for my insurance to increase anymore. I am thankful that I came across this law firm hopefully I don’t get another ticket out of town, but if I do they would be the first firm I contact.
