"This firm is outstanding!!! I honestly don’t know what I would have done without them. Maria Crabtree was a beacon of hope at a time when my options appeared limited and the likelihood of a resolution seemed impossible. Not only was she able to defend and protect us, she provide help and support in a time of hardship and distress. Maria is incredibly knowledgeable, witty, spunky, intelligent, confident and passionate about her clients cases. She and her staff are ethical and honest. She is an attorney who truly cares, fighting the hard fight while solving problems quickly. My children and I are eternally grateful for her services over the past 6 years. I highly recommend her and her law firm."

"I couldn't have asked for a better attorney than Mr. Sur at Crabtree Law. From the start he impressed me with his deep knowledge and understanding of family law matters. I went from not seeing my kids for months to alternating weekends thanks to his strategic approach and attention to detail. Not only was he professional and efficient, but he also showed genuine care and empathy toward my situation. I would recommend him to anyone seeking a divorce attorney. This firm is one of the few that actually cares about their clients and their lives and don't just see them as dollar signs. I am so thankful for their help."
