DUI (Dismissed)
"I am grateful there is a man in the lawyering business that is the caliber of Seth Crabtree. There is so much to say I will try and make this short as I can. Seth Crabtree is a man outstanding in his field. My case was not the toughest, but had obstacles to overcome... like 97 miles an hour in a 70 and a Blood Alcohol Concentration of 0.153%!! I never stepped foot in the courtroom. Seth was able to get my DUI charge downgraded to a DISMISSAL and EXPUNGEMENT. Can I get an AMEN?
Seth is very reasonable on his fees and goes above and beyond his duty. Seth gave my case 100%. I am grateful that there is a man in the lawyering business that is the caliber of Seth Crabtree. Thank you sir, and your staff."

DUI (Dismissed)
"Mr. Crabtree handled my case perfectly when I was falsely accused of Driving Under the Influence due to my disabilities. He got all my charges dismissed in court and did so at a fair price that I was happy to pay to keep my record clear. I would want him on my side for any legal action that I am involved with. I highly recommend Crabtree Law to anyone that needs legal council, his office will keep you informed about your case from start to finish and give you the best representation possible."

DUI (Reduced)
"Mr. Crabtree took my DUI case back in July 2016. I needed desperately for it to be brought down to a reckless driving and he was able to do that. A DUI would have affected my attempt at citizenship very negatively. But today my DACA renewal came in the mail which allows me to be able to be in this country for another two years and I wouldn't have got it with out his help! You might not see what he did as a big deal but it was for me. THANK YOU Mr. Crabtree!"

"Seth Crabtree conveyed a confidence and true desire to fight for me, and my reputation... Phenomenal attorney and excellent staff!!! I found Seth Crabtree during a Google search for an attorney to represent me, in my criminal case with multiple charges, in middle Tennessee. I liked what others said in their reviews so I gave him a call. Best decision I could have possibly made! ALL CHARGES AND CASE DISMISSED!!!"
