Our client was riding his motorcycle on a city street and an inattentive driver pulled from a parking spot and hit him. We uncovered an umbrella policy covering the owner of the vehicle. Client made a good recovery and is back to work.
Our client was injured in an auto accident and had an employer/employee relationship. The insurance company denied coverage and liability, but eventually settled the case before trial.
Despite the tragedy surrounding this case, we went to work on the family’s behalf and got them a significant recovery even with liability issues.
Our family has required Mr. Crowell's expertise on several levels from guidance on traffic infractions to a few more serious issues. He is a true professional and has been able to deliver what he expresses he can obtain for us. The firms' entire staff is extremely supportive and caring. We have always felt like we could connect with our attorney or someone else to have our questions and concerns heard. Our relationship spans over 5 years. I highly recommend his legal services.

Highly recommended, Hendrick Crowell won… I highly recommend Mr. Hendrick S. Crowell! I hired Mr. Crowell for my recent DUI arrest, the cop said he pulled me over for weaving downtown. Mr. Crowell fought the case and at the hearing he questioned the cop and argued to the judge that the weaving was not enough for the cop to stop me. The judge agreed and dismissed my case. Mr. Crowell is a great attorney and I would recommend him to any of my friends. He answered all my questions and I was in constant contact with him by email and text and phone. If I had a question I would call his cell or email him, I never had a problem reaching him. He showed up for me at my hearing and got the thing dismissed. I am a music producer and that dismissal saved me the hassle of work project and a big fine, not to mention the DUI on my criminal record. If you want to look up my case it is on saccourt.com and it's case number 08T04042. I have nothing but praise for Mr. Crowell.

I was pulled over a few blocks after leaving a popular downtown Sac nightclub. Officer claimed to pull me over due to a hard to read registration sticker…but immediately asked if I had been drinking. I was administered a FST…blew a .09 BAC on the breath test, then was subsequently arrested. I strongly felt the police did not have probable cause to stop me, so I decided to hire an attorney. After much research, I decided to retain [the firm] based on client testimony of results and reasonable fees. It was the best decision I ever made!!! Later reports by the arresting officer(s) mentioned I had crossed a designated parking lane (no mention of this during my arrest). Mr. Crowell took pictures of the scene where I was pulled over (no parking lane) and fought tenaciously on my behalf. The arresting officer(s) were subpoenaed for the DMV hearing, testified, and evidence obtained by Mr. Crowell eventually led to my DMV hearing dismissal. One hurdle overcame.

Hendrick and his firm were always available, professional and there to make sure you know someone is in your corner. Hendrick never tried to sugar coat what he could do, he was realistic, pragmatic and gave me best and worst scenarios. Ultimately my case is probably the exception: it was dismissed due to officer no show on trial date…however, the real story is that Hendrick had asked for a continuance and the judge denied knowing that the officer was out for the week. The only reason this happened is the fact that Hendrick has built a solid reputation and a good working relationship with the judge. This is the reason you hire Hendrick for DUIs / traffic infractions / and more serious crimes that he has experience with. A mere civilian has absolutely no chance in this court system. The fact is that judges and lawyers build a working relationship that is respected and professional and you cannot compete with that. if you are facing charges in Hendrick's area of expertise, call him.
