I hired Mr.Crowley to represent my fiancé in a federal case. I paid him $10,000 in full upfront. He promised he would help him get a reduced sentence and that Arturo Mendez would handle the sentencing hearing. I contacted Arturo myself and he claimed he had zero knowledge of the case. He did absolutely NOTHING for us. Took him 3 months and due to a COURT ORDER for him to appear in court to take over representation for my fiancé from the public defender. Even the JUDGE asked if we wanted to continue being represented by this man and let him have it. Crowley has since been disbarred thank god but I’m still out my money. Hopefully the WSBA will be kind enough to gift me money back. I sure hope karma bites him.

This man is horrible. He does not return calls. He was hired to represent my husband in a case that would cause a long amount of time in prison. This lawyer stop returning calls after receiving a large amount of money. Case dragged out for over 2 years. He advised my husband take a bench trial no one in their right mind would advise this in this type of case. Because my husband was not in his home state family was not available to be at trial. The one day we do pop in for trial we learn their is a conflict of interest that was never disclosed. If we had known what we found out during trial we would never have hired him. I must say his paralegal or assistant would respond often but John no response. In the end my husband was found guilty. John never came out to speak to the family and did not even really speak to my husband. This has cost us dearly and still costing us. Don't hire him this man should be disbarred with his lack of representation in such a serious case. He is just out for money and that is a shame. how about 55K for nothing misguided, and ineffective counsel. RUN I hope he is disbarred

My husband hired John Crowley and he did absolutely nothing for him. Not only did he not do anything he ran out of the courtroom like a frigging coward after my husband was sentenced to 48 years in prison, for self defense. The whole thing was on video for gods sake. The Bar association really needs to step up and help all the peoples lives that he has ruined. I called the Bar association to complain about him about 4 months ago and they did not mention one complaint. When obviously they already knew there was a ton of complaints. How does that work they should be held as responsible as this pos.

The case was for a man arrested for for multiple arsons. The man had been driven to commit them due to having severe command hallucinations. He had not been believed throughout his life that his destructive and bazaar behaviors had been caused by anything other than his own motive to do them. For this reason, he submitted to the commands as there was no hope or relief in sight. He even 'agreed' to his guilt on hundreds of smaller things that he had in fact been commanded to do, in order to try to keep peace with whoever was confronting him over what the voices had commanded him to do.

This was ALL explained to John before being paid $20,000 to represent him . It was made clear that the goal of this case is to establish the cause of Billy's actions, which would require a thorough and in depth psychological evaluation to rule IN or OUT a psychotic disorder. It was also a huge concern that without such an assessment, it would be hard for Billy to get access to treatment. Clarifying and establishing Billy's condition was the essence of the hiring of John to represent Billy.

John promised over and over and over to pay for (from the $20,000 he was paid) a thorough assessment for Billy with a specific psychologist locally, who I had asked for when John asked me to find someone. He continued to act as if this promise would be kept for months and months all the way up to the end when he had Billy plea bargain to end the case. Even after Billy's release, John reassured he was keeping his promise and setting up the assessment. It makes you want to think that he does mean it and he does care but he's just so busy trying to help so many people.

It has now been seven months since Billy's release after the plea bargain and still no assessment. No response to my endless text messages, calls, and emails asking and begging him to follow through with what he promised.

John, please follow through and I will update this review!

I don't know how this man has obtained or managed to keep his license for this long. He is a F'N scammer!
I hired him for 10000 to work on a case for my father, he called me everyday for three days after our consultation claiming we should get started on the case right away and once we cut him the check, GONE! Nowhere to be found, no answering our calls. Lies about the results he can achieve for you. He is a scammer, stealing from the vulnerable just to come up on your money. Report him! Report him! Report him! I have already sent in a complaint to the Washington State Chief Disciplinary Counsel and anyone who has experienced this same ridiculously unprofessional and cheap behavior please do the same!! Let's make it so this man never scams anyone again.

I hired John in March since hiring him I now have hope that my mistakes won't ruin my future and that John is working his hardest to get the best deal in place for me. We have been in good contact and meet 2-3 times a month another for court. Outstanding attorney in my opinion.

This man is a crook and a liar,I wish I would have seen these reviews before I hired him for my brother and payed him $15000. He hasn't showed up for any court dates,unable to contact him by phone, he lists several offices in King and Pierce County on his website and recently found out there are no offices or law firm it's just him. I've been trying to contact him by any means for over a month,he was hired in March and hasn't done anything on my brothers case.

John is a good guy. In the beginning he was hard to reach almost impossible, but as my case progresed we started to talk almost 3 times a week. He went to bat for me and worker hard to get the deal I was looking for. Hard working guy who may seem disconnected at times don't let that fool you.

A liar and a crook! I can not believe he's licensed! Takes money and does nothing. Promises to resolve everything quickly but once he has your money you can never reach him! Stay away from this weasel!!!

I gave this man 7500 dollars over I still do not know what happened. After being contacted by a det a family member said find an atty so I called him on a sat and meet on a sunday. I don't know if my ex fiance did this or it was from a stolen laptop from starbucks or 3 computers I donated to goodwill 3 years ago. I wrote this man sent certified letters. Even on Avvo my complaints were taken down of this man. One man on avvo who used him said the same thing you give him money he does not even show up to court. What does one do contact the bar over this man. I think he has connections and it is swept under the rug.

Took my money and never answer my phone calls .i will report him ,that's not ok to take money from hard working people .I can be homeless in any minute and Mr. John Crowley doesn't care about no one .God is amazing and he will take care of him .

Do not use this con artist! So unprofessional, never answered the phone, got my husband more time then helping the case , took him three MONTHS of me of hunting him down and calling every day for me to get my leftover money back and he lies about everything! People do not respect him in Snohomish County they think he's a joke! In the process of reporting him!

Scamer loywer don't waist your money with this unprofessional person.

He is very unprofessional. He's a scammer who takes your money and does not work on your case. He says he will refund money and then avoids calling and texting back i regret giving him a single penny. I will be reporting him.

This man is a crook. I am going through the same thing as the last review. I sent 4500 to get a 16year old traffic case handled. He acts as if he is going to refund my money and plays games. I am now going rob the state fees board and bar to file a complaint and get a refund.

This man is a coldhearted crook. A dear friend of mine hired him at the cost of 15,000 up front cash before going into custody. Once he was arrested Mr. Crowley did absolutely nothing. Did not show up for court appearances. Did not notify the court that he was his lawyer. Mr. Crowley avoids phone calls and is playing games about returning the money so we can hire a lawyer that will do more than ignore thier client. Save your money and your loved ones or yourself and dont trust this man!
