Michael J. Crawford is a well-versed legal professional. I will not advocate for you in an area that I am not comfortable in. The Law Office of Michael J. Crawford, PLLC, first opened in Kerens, Texas, in May 2010. In May 2011, the law office moved to Corsicana and still exists in its original location, where it continues to help clients daily in Navarro County. After attorney Michael J. Crawford moved to Waxahachie in 2017, it only seemed appropriate to expand to an office here in our historic town.
