Meet Our Attorneys
The role of a lawyer is to serve as a legal advocate, provide competent legal advice and act in the best interest of the client always. Lawyers are also trustees of the legal system and have responsibilities to maintain public confidence in the system and defend its integrity. These are all key characteristics possessed by each member of this law firm. As a result, individuals do not contact the CRM Law firm simply because they need a lawyer.
Clients contact CRM Law, LLC because they need a team of zealous advocates who are also compassionate and empathetic, with a strong understanding of the law and legal processes. Our firm takes pride in looking beyond short-term resolutions and focusing on a more holistic approach to long-term goals by considering the full scope of our clients’ needs. Employing this legal philosophy allows the firm to find healthy and sustainable solutions to legal and non-legal challenges through partnerships with various nonprofit and for-profit organizations. In short, we provide the comprehensive and tailored client services our clients expect and deserve.

Our Core Values
Built on a solid foundation of excellence, experience, and professionalism, CRM Law know that every day is a new set of challenges and a lawyer is only as good as proven by the next case, not the last. Excelling as an attorney means learning and improving every day and treating each client and each case as the unique set of circumstances that each one represents.
The practice of law is not a nine-to-five job; it is a 24/7 lifestyle. There is no room in the legal profession for the assembly line treatment of cases or the cookie-cutter handling of clients, which is why our lawyers fully embrace the fact that every client is fighting a different battle and every case provides new challenges. As such, our firm provides each client with high-quality legal advice and representation in a timely and efficient manner. Our firm’s mission is to provide trustworthy, reliable, and comprehensive legal expertise. Our firm’s reputation lives and dies by our dedication to these ideals.
The primary focus of the practice of law is to represent the best interest of the client and protect the principles outlined within the United States Constitution. This objective is applied to client legal matters in the courtroom as well as in society. The overall goal is to not only be great advocates but also great advisors to help formulate a plan of action for the client through community partnerships and goal setting. We do not merely seek to stand beside you in the court room, we seek to walk with you through each challenge and support each accomplishment.
Thus, the practice of law encompasses far more than the business of running a law firm and meeting the demands of overhead. It demands more than that a lawyer competently represent clients, draw up necessary papers or negotiate a favorable outcome. The practice of law, done right, demands that we serve as responsible professionals, reputable role-models and mentors, dedicated volunteers and beneficent neighbors with an interest in tirelessly improving our families, communities, systems and processes.
The title of professional requires that in daily practice, an attorney strive to transcend the demands of the moment to consider the greater good. Lawyers are not simply hired speakers for their clients – they are officers of the court, stewards of the proper spirit of the law and leaders of community efforts. That designation reminds us that a lawyer’s obligations flow not only to the client but to the courts and to the system of justice of which they are an integral part.

He got the outcome I was looking for and the professionalism and communication was top tier. I most definitely recommend Mr. Middleton to anyone in need of a lawyer. Thanks again. Cynthia Davenport Chris Middleton it's an outstanding lawyer. In the most difficult time he helped my son. I felt confident that he would do his absolute best in his case and he did. He kept me informed of all going on since I wasn't in the same city. Great ethics, and compassion and I recommend Mr. Middleton Melanie K. This legal team is PHENOMENAL!!! Attorney Middleton assisted my family with a case that could have taken until Nov. of this year to resolve. Not only did they have it completely handled within 5 weeks, which was the first court date, but they were able to get the case TOTALLY AND COMPLETELY DISMISSED. I am highly impressed, not only with their work ethic, but also there genuine care for their clients. Their legal services are truly unmatched! If you are considering hiring them, do not hesitate for any reason. shannon harding My attorney was Rodman and he worked diligently to get this case dismissed ! If you are not obtaining this law firm as your legal representation you’re taking a chance with your freedom, future and background! Eric smith I would totally advise against doing anything illegal... But if you find yourself in need of a lawyer I'd call them first, second and third. If the line is busy call back. Mr. Rodman totally helped get me out of a self inflicted wound when no other lawyer would answer the phone for me. If you go in their office you will see the awards... Those awards are real from beginning to end. Berto Perez Vengo desde Texas por una situación personal y necesite ayuda vine a dónde está oficina por tener 5 estrellas y no me equivoqué muy humilde y intento ayudar al máximo gracias por su servicio. Chakira Johnson I would highly recommend Cox, Rodman, & Middleton, LLC to anyone dealing with a legal matter. Attorney Christopher Gates, helped me through one of the most difficult times in my life. He did everything he promised to do for me, and communicated effectively, I truly felt like family. Breanna is amazing as well! Thank you Cox, Rodman, and Middleton, LLC, for all that you have done for me. I can’t express my gratitude enough! They are worth every penny. My initial phone call, helped relieved the stress I was under. I had a great feeling this firm would take care of me, they did just that! Ben bates I sought a defense attorney for my case back in November 2022. I called Cox, Rodman, and Middleton immediately. I explained to them my situation and my expected outcome. They put me in touch with the lawyer they felt would best fit my needs and situation given the location of my case. I scheduled a a consultation and I met Mr. Rodman. He was professional, helpful and understanding. He agreed to take my case and we hit the ground running. He kept me informed and made sure I understood every part of what was going on and what wa sto be expected. I could tell he had my best interest at heart. My case lasted until June 2023. Mr. Rodman could sense my concern for the case because my dates continued to get pushed. There was a moment where Mr. Rodman confronted the judge and firmly encouraged the judge that were wasting precious time and that he needed to dismiss my case. Another lawyer inside the courtroom actually came up to me and expressed how much he envied Mr. Rodman's approach and strength in the courtroom. My case was eventually dismissed and I owe it to God and Mr. Rodman for having my best interest and back in the courtroom. I strongly recommend him for anyone looking to have the best outcome when faced with a situation they need help with in the courtroom. The entire office was professional, to include the receptionist Miss Breana. Thanks again guys. I have a fresh and new start.Google rating score: 5.0 of 5, based on 109 reviews
