Mike Crawford

Mike O. Crawford is an accomplished litigator with nearly 20 years of experience handling a variety of litigation, including trucking, automobile accidents, underinsured/uninsured motorist cases, premises liability, construction defect claims, bad faith, toxic torts and general liability defense.

Mike primarily represents insurance companies and their insureds. He has represented clients in nearly all of Georgia’s 159 counties, litigated more than 2,000 matters and tried dozens of cases to verdict. Mike’s negotiation skills are well honed, and insurance carriers seek his assistance for settlement and mediation resolutions on behalf of their insured individuals and companies.

Mike takes a “client-first” approach to litigation. A client's requirements, time and assets are sacred and should be treated as such. Mike understands controlling expenses is always a primary concern, and he is careful to remain cost effective, while still ensuring to achieve the best possible outcome.

Mike is co-leader of the coverage and commercial litigation practice team, a member of the Defense Research Institute (DRI) and former president of the North Fulton Bar Association.
