Aaron Cadiz with Crowell Law Offices, by far, is the best attorney that my husband (David Payan) and I have hired to represent/assist David in having criminal charges and a GVRO dismissed. Last year, David and I were working on replacing a roof on one of our properties. David had observed a truck and a car preparing to "illegally dump" their truckful of trash right beside our property. As usually, in these situations, the individuals were homeless. David immediately climbed down from the roof and took pictures of the vehicle's license plates, in order to report them to 311. The driver of the truck proceeded to yell at David and threatened to shoot him in the head and everyone else in our home. David ignored the threats, parked his truck, climbed back on the roof and continued to work. For several minutes these homeless individuals parked in front of the house and continued to scream and threaten to "kill" David and everyone else in the home. This type of situation is a constant battle with the homeless people and not the first time that David was threatened harm. Since the city of Sacramento and Sacramento County will not protect its' citizens from harassment from the homeless and our fear of being harmed, David has been arming himself with a rifle. Never has David pointed the rifle at anyone nor has he left the property with any firearms. In this situation the driver of the truck pointed a gun at David. David raised the rifle, which was pointed down towards the roof, to show that he is armed, as well. The next day, these homeless individuals returned and had the audacity to file false police reports stating that David pointed an "assault rifle" at them. The reports were completed untrue. Nevertheless, Sacramento PD without investigating the situation issued a warrant for David's arrest. Several days later, as David was driving home, he was pulled over by Sacramento PD and arrested. That same day a search warrant was issued. Sacramento PD raided two of our properties (which are next door to each other), completely ripped apart both houses and confiscated all of David's firearms and ammunitions which were securely stored in a gun safe. David and I were keenly aware that his "2nd Amendment Constitutional Rights" were being severely violated by Sacramento PD. As our homes were being raided, I hired the first attorney that was immediately available -- Gilbert B. Vega. I paid this horrible attorney $5,000. Time marched along and nothing was being accomplished on David's case. Gilbert kept telling us, several times, that he had "Covid and wasn't able to work." If I had done my research, I would have learned that Gilbert Vega has used this excuse many times, with other clients, to avoid working on a case. After several months of trying to get this attorney to represent David, we fired Gilbert B. Vega and hired Crowell Law Offices. Hiring Crowell Law Offices was the best decision David and I made. From the beginning, Aaron Cadiz was thorough and always kept us apprised of David's situation. What an extreme blessing to be represented by Aaron who is so amazing and capable. If anyone is looking for an attorney who will properly represent their clients, I highly recommend Aaron Cadiz of Crowell Law Offices. Without Aaron we might still be battling this false arrest. Conclusion: Aaron Cadiz had David's criminal case dismissed in 2022 and the GVRO was dismissed in 2023. read more

When I got home from jail, I was still stunned from my experience. I had never been to jail, never had a DUI. I had just received a .14 BAC DUI-in placer county. A county with a reputation to uphold. A county with a 99% conviction rate of success to be exact! I knew I needed help, and didnt have the money. I got online and found Hendrick Crowell. I saw all of these amazing reviews. It was late-past 9pm, but I knew I had to call and get started asap on this error in my life. To my amazement- Hendrick called me back-THAT night! He was understanding and compassionate. Professional and I could see he knew what he was doing. For the first time since that glaring cop flashlight beamed in my eyes, I felt calm and ready to take on this challenge. Two days later I checked my mail and found piles upon piles of advertisements from attorneys, even coupons. But I just knew - Hendrick was worth MORE than what I was paying. Boy was I glad I had already made my decision to hire him and his team. The amount of options for an attorney was overwhelming. But please take my advice - throw away or burn all of that garbage. The attorney you need, deserve and will happy you picked will be Crowell Law Offices. Hendrick gave me a life line- worked out a payment plan and NOT once has he or his staff left me standing alone in this. Its has been a long battle for him, and thru it all he has been willing to stick it out and see it to the finish. Hendrick knows what he is doing and has the dedication needed to get your case resolved with the best possible outcome. My praise does not come easily. It must be earned. I have had divorce attorneys take me for all I have, not even finish my case, lie, give me false hope and more. Not this Team. They do not disappoint. My case info: DUI BAC= .14% :(, breathalyzer tests: two at .14%. No video proof to fight with. Nothing but my word against the cops. The Officer truly went all out with a three page- full of highly detailed exaggerations-combined with false accusations of driving performances. The conclusion: 7 months of court hearings-I never had to attend a single one-maximum punishment aggressively pursued by DA- reduced to fines and 5 days of service to county cleanup or home bound - and then last minute - he was able to get that waived! I will have to take a class, make payments on fines and have it on my driving record for 3 years. A true attorney to the end- Hendrick has offered to help me in three years and for FREE get it expunged from my record. I wish him and his staff a true return of rewards for taking such good care of me and my case! read more

i received 3 tickets with 4 moving violations, in less than 2 months. I go through these phases i guess where i cant slow down. 2 of my tickets were in Modesto, ca on scenic by the cemetery. the first was in october. speeding ticket on the way to my barber shop. ten a week later i got another 1 in the same spot. i tired to avoid the officer, and he wrote me up for speeding and a unsafe lane change. about 4 weeks later i got another ticket on highway 205 driving to work, this one for speeding. i was refered to Hendrick by my friend Joe who is a truck driver and who's job is dependent on his driving record also. the first ticket we attended court for was the speeding ticket on 205, Justin from Hendrick's office represented me for this ticket. he managed to reduce my ticket to a non moving violation. which means i pay the fine, but NO POINT! AMAZING! i don't know how he did it, but he did. i clearly was guilty but some how he made it happen. now my job and drivers lic was still on the line with the last two cases in Modesto. Justin calls me and says " i had a tough time with the 2 officers in Modesto, so i'm going to take a lighter approach and send Mrs Trigger" i must admit, i was very nervous, my confidence was in Hendrick and Justin. who is this trigger girl? well sure enough today at 2:05pm i get the call from Justin that BOTH MODESTO CASES WERE DISMISSED!! NO VIOLATIONS, NO POINTS, NO FINES!! THESE GUYS ARE ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! 4 VIOLATIONS!! ALL 4 DISMISSED!! I WOULD HAVE LOST MY JOB MAKING 15-20K A MONTH BECAUSE OF MY DRIVING RECORD AND THESE GUYS SAVED ME!! I LOVE YOU GUYS AND OWE YOU A MILLION!!! GREAT JOB!! YOUR CLEARLY THE BEST!!! GOD BLESS YOU ALL!! THANK YOU A MILLION!!! read more

I retained Hendrick for my second DUI and the result was positive. I received the minimum 5 days jail time and informal probation, this is the best outcome one can ask for in a second DUI situation. In Sacramento county it is mandatory, don't sweat it, do your time and learn from your mistake. Unfortunately I did not. Shortly after my second I received my third DUI, this time included a vehicle accident. I again retained Hendrick for my case. A third DUI especially involving an accident is most always a felony. Hendrick offered good advice through the process and I was able to get myself into a treatment center. The worst part of any criminal case is the unknown, I would like to share something with anyone looking for some comfort during this difficult period in their life. Your mind is your worst enemy, the scenarios you play out in your head are often much worse than anything the world will actually throw at you. Don't mistake this for "the word is great, everything is ok". You will loose a year of your life dealing with a third DUI and it is not a fun time, however getting a good lawyer on your side is one of the best things your can do for yourself. Besides securing you a favorable result Hendrick will take care of the courtroom procedural nonsense for you. At first I thought it was odd, the continuances and not having to be in court, it is not. He is doing it for you. I can't say my outcome is common but if no one was seriously injured, our system is so overcrowded you will be okay as long as you show a desire to change. A big shout out to his team as well, especially Erica for all her help during this time. read more

Mr. Crowell had been working on my case (parked DUI) for the last 2 years. During those 2 years, my family was lucky enough to grow, as I became pregnant. Never once did I have to go to court, Mr. Crowell handled everything. The judge demanded I be present at one point, but at the time I was on bed rest, and Hendrick made sure I didn't put any extra stress on my baby, by successfully using loopholes to keep me from having to attend court. He has always been very honest, not the kind of attorney who says what you want to hear so that you keep giving them money. I paid a very reasonable amount when I first hired him, and never once have I had to pay a dime again. Katrina, the paralegal who helped work my case, has been a complete godsend. She almost always responds to my emails within minutes, explaining everything in ways that make sense to me, and has always been very knowledgeable and helpful. My case is closed, and she still responds quickly to my occasional questions. After a miscommunication (on my part), I found myself needing an extension request from the court. As opposed to making me feel bad about this mistake, Katrina offered to take care of the situation for free, even though they would normally charge for such a thing. Now that's what I call loyalty and good business. All in all, this is a very honest and supportive law firm. They have helped not only me, but many other people that I know. I am constantly recommending Hendrick and Katrina to anyone in trouble, they helped make a frightening experience very manageable! read more

SIncerely...I don't have enough great things to say about this firm, more specifically Hendricks. He's worth every penny and then some! in fact, I had even already retained a different lawyer when I met Hendricks and decided to cut my losses with the first attorney and go with him! His experience, his advice, his communication with clients are all so reassuring during one of the scariest times of your life! I'm not only a highly anxious person, but I was constantly terrified, and calling and emailing, and was never met with anything but kindness from the staff and the attorney himself. 3 years ago I got my second dui... coming home from dinner... my family was with me when I got a flat tire, when the officer stopped to check on us on the side of the road he noted I had wine on my lips and the rest was history. 9 years prior in college I had gotten my first dui, so not only did the court see this as a second, but they were making a solid attempt at felony child endangerment. 2nd dui's usually come with some MANDATORY jail time and a plethora of others consequences.... But this child endangerment had me looking at even more severe repercussions. i was scared beyond belief. hendricks not only got me ZEROOOOO jail time.... And everything g lowered to misdemeanors.. But my formal probation was able to be finished an entire year early because of him and his fantastic rapport with the court! i couldn't recommend him enough. He saved my situation and im so grateful! You will not regret it I promise! read more

In February 2020 I caught a case against Yolo County, due to my employer reporting fraudulent activity while I was a manager for her business. Either way, I have never been in any sort of trouble in my life the worst thing I have ever gotten was a speeding ticket that I would typically pay off as soon as I can or take a driving course to get it off my record. So, this was my first ever experience ever needing an attorney. I can tell you that I am glad I found and met Hendrick Crowell and his partners. He is super easy to talk to and is very understanding of the situations going on. From the very beginning Hendrick took matters into his hands and I was able to go on and live my life. I will be honest there were times I would get concern just because I would not hear back from Hendrick, but fear not, everything is done for a reason and regardless of not speaking with the Hendrick and his office on a regular basis I had to trust he was getting things done. As of 3/09/2023 Hendrick gave me a personal call and said, "Who is your favorite attorney? and I literally said I mean it has to be your sir. He happily told me my case has been dismissed after a 3-year battle. The weight and anxiety of just knowing everyday you're in a battle for your livelihood gets to you. All I can say after these 3 years of letting Hendrick and his partners take over my case. I am forever grateful and would suggest anyone who needs legal representation to reach out to this office! Thanks again Hendrick! read more

In 2016 I got a DUI in Truckee. I called Crowell Law Office and Hendrick agreed to represent me. He charged me a flat fee for my whole case which was less then anyone else I talked to. Unfortunately I didn't learn from my mistake and got another DUI & involved in a accident in 2017. I immediately called Hendrick and he was more then happy to help me. Robert helped with my violation in Truckee and couldn't count how many times he had to go to the Truckee court house from Sacramento with no extra charge. They both helped me get into a rehab instead of jail time. They never once judged me and always had my best interest. Erica also helped me with sending me updates on my court appearance and answered any questions I had. Fast forward to now 2023 I've been sober since 2017, graduated college, purchased a home, and got married. None of that would have been possible if everyone from the Crowell Office didn't push for me to do rehab instead of jail (DA wanted to give me two years behind bars). The only thing standing in the way of pursuing my career is my felony. I reached out to Erica to see if she can help me get my record expunged. In the matter of minutes she responded saying yes. I'm so thankful Crowell Office is willing to help me once again! read more

I honestly can't say enough great things about Crowell Law Office, Mr. Hendrick, specifically, and the incredible team that helped me. I had an excellent experience working with this law firm. From day one, they treated me with respect, compassion, and professionalism. They took the time to explain everything clearly, kept me updated every step of the way, answered all my questions, and always made me feel like my case truly mattered. They made what was a very stressful situation much easier for me to navigate. What impressed me most was their knowledge, attention to detail, dedication, and commitment to getting the best possible outcome. They worked tirelessly on my behalf, and thanks to their expertise and persistence, I received an amazing result that exceeded my expectations. I couldn't be happier and I am so grateful for everything they did for me. If you're looking for a law firm that is experienced, genuinely cares about its clients, is trustworthy, communicates every step of the way, and delivers outstanding results, I highly recommend Crowell Law Office. Choosing this firm was one of the best decisions I've made, and I would absolutely trust Mr. Hendrick again in the future. Thank you for everything! read more

I highly recommend this firm. From the very beginning, Hendrick and Erica were attentive, responsive, and genuinely invested in my case. Over the years, I've really gotten to know them, and I deeply appreciate how much they made me feel heard. They consistently made time for my questions and concerns and offered thoughtful guidance. I truly felt that they worked with me every step of the way, rather than just handling my case. This was a difficult matter to navigate, and their empathetic support made a complex process manageable. What stands out most is the consistency of care over time. Throughout this long process, Hendrick and Erica continued to dedicate time and energy well beyond the initial representation. Their generosity with time and attention made it clear they cared about assisting me, not simply treating my case as a matter of business. Years later, they are still assisting me -- including with my expungement -- which speaks volumes about their professionalism and commitment to their clients. It's rare to find a firm that combines expertise with such genuine accessibility and follow-through. I'm extremely grateful for their support over the years. read more

I accused this man of taking bribes from the DA to kill cases that prove the city and state targets the mentally ill for abuse. After this, he bribes me for silence, I take the bribes so I can prove this, and then the State Bar knowing he is guilty now of bribery and corruption does nothing. This is because it was the tip of the iceberg, think of something the powerful who commit horrible crimes can just get off, but those who are disabled, or simply lost their minds, are treated like pure scum... It is wrong, this is not just oh the system is broken, or makes mistakes, there is a pattern, it proves total and complete corruption. I am a witness to all this, they will not even take legal action against me, because this stuff is not allowed to be spoken where people, like those in a court room with me, can hear it. Will you ignore this smoking gun? Or can no one see this, because I am right about all of this, and am being censored, watched and targeted by those in power. This review is true, I have proof of the bribes, so it must be allowed. read more

It has been sometime since using this law firm and I meant to leave a Yelp quality review but my husband passed in 2019 and I am just now able to revisit this matter. First, I consider Crowell Law Offices to be our family law firm. For any legal matter where we have ever needed competent and honest legal advice, they have always been our very reliable source of comfort. When my husband and son were in an automobile accident they were diligent and worked hard to obtain a fair settlement. They even took less of a percentage of the fees recovered because my husband passed before the accident case settled. The genuineness of Daniel Tenenbaum and his assistants showed the care was real and human. I would recommend this law firm for your legal needs that they are experienced in providing because they practice law the way it is supposed to be ---justice for the people they serve! Please continue giving the excellent service to the community in providing quality legal advice for the lay persons. read more

During what was undoubtedly one of the most challenging times of my life, Attorney Dan and Attorney Hendrick's legal team proved to be an invaluable support. Attorney Hendrick's legal team and Attorney Dan navigated through my hit and run case proceedings with sensitivity and grace. Attorney Dan was thorough in his approach, making sure I understood all my options for my hit and run case. His genuine care and empathy made a significant difference in my experience. Attorney Dan professionalism and timely communication helped alleviate my stress in this emotional process. "My case is dismissed" I can't thank you enough.. Thank you, Attorney Dan and to Attorney Hendrick's legal team for making this possible for me and my daughter. I really appreciate all of the hard work and for always going above and beyond for me and my daughter. I am deeply grateful for service and highly recommend Attorney Dan and Attorney's Hendrick legal team to anyone facing similar circumstances. read more

I needed to hire a lawyer back in 2018. After searching for the best lawyers in the area and several interviews/consultations, I knew Crowell Law Office was the right choice. Not only did he stick to his word, he fought my charge, which was reduced with no jail time. Every other lawyer I spoke with told me to plan on doing at least 100 days in county. Hendrick on the other hand told me different and proved them wrong. He put my mind at easy through the terrifying process, made sure I was able to keep my head afloat and focus on my career. Little did I know I would need his counsel again in 2021 - 2022. Hendrick, Erica and the team worked hard, always kept me up to date every step of the way and gave me piece of mind, already knowing I was in good hands. Crowell Law firm is hands down the best around. I would never use or suggest anyone else. Do yourself a favor and let Hendrick and his firm easy the lengthy, troublesome litigation process. 10/10 read more

We contacted Attorney Hendrick Crowell to help our son during a very difficult and painful time. Our son, who was struggling with a mental health condition, was arrested on serious charges. The public defender assigned to his case showed little interest in understanding his mental health needs or professional history, and offered us little support while our son was incapacitated. From the start, Hendrick immediately reached out to our son, maintained open and consistent communication with us, and worked collaboratively to pursue the best possible outcome. Through his efforts, our son was granted mental health diversion, allowing him to receive the treatment and support he needed while also protecting his professional future. Hendrick understood the importance of our involvement in supporting our adult son at one of the most frightening times in his life. We are deeply grateful for his patience, commitment, and compassion. read more

I was in a tight spot and after looking through multiple reviews online and finding the majority of the lawyers and law firms dealing with criminal law with 50%+ negative reviews with the common complaints people have of criminal attorneys, I noticed one law firm with so many positive reviews I felt compelled to call. I was invited to come down to the offices of Crowell law firm where I met Robert Darrohn. Robert was attentive, decent, honest and always helpful. I could not have been more satisfied with the results and I always recommend Robert to anyone I know looking for a good advocate. Always professional he never left me hanging. I would recommend Robert to anyone looking for a attorney. Having dealt with attorneys before was surprised and pleased to have been treated beyond fair, to find him always there when I needed him and to give it to me straight always. Thank you Robert! Another satisfied client! read more

When a loved one gets into trouble with the law it is time to hire an attorney. Not knowing any personally, I said a quick prayer and clicked on Crowell Law Offices. I called the number and spoke with Mr. Crowell. All he said to me was, "I think I can help your son". And that is exactly what he did. I am so very grateful for his professional representation. He had a strategy and kept our family reassured for the long legal process. Court date after court date, he continued to represent my son, he never wavered in his confidence. I have deep personal respect for this attorney and will be forever grateful for the opportunity his representation gave to my son. We all make mistakes and poor decisions at some time in our life. Thank God that Hendrick Crowell Law Offices were there for our family to see us through and to gain another chance for my son. We all need a second chance! Thank you, Hendrick Crowell! read more

First off I must say, Hendrick Crowell and his entire team has provided the absolute BEST representation on my DUI charge out of all attorneys that I hired and fired, before finally settling and trusting Crowell law offices to take on my case which was in Oakland, Ca. You will not find a better attorney to represent you to the fullest of their ability, at a very reasonable rate! Hendrick and his team went above and beyond my expectations by not only getting my charge reduced to a wet n reckless, but they also stood in as counsel for my sister who had a case in Oakland, out of concern for her without charge (now who does that...) I am very pleased with the outcome, the service provided, the rate, the care and concern received from the entire team. If you have a criminal or personal injury case, LOOK NO FURTHER, YOU WONT FIND A BETTER ATTORNEY TRUST ME, GIVE HENDRICK CROWELL A CALL AND HE WILL DO THE REST. read more
