About Crawford & Bangs
We are one of the premier construction law firms in the state of California.
We Specialize in Construction Contracts & Litigation
Crawford & Bangs specializes in construction and business litigation. Started in 1979 by William Crawford and joined by partner Shaaron Bangs in 1987, Crawford & Bangs has received a preeminent AV rating by our peers and has evolved into one of the premier construction law firms in the State of California.
Experienced & Qualified
Our experience and training assures effective legal representation in every case, regardless of whether the matter is on a personal, business, or corporate level. Our attorneys are highly qualified and extremely diverse. Most importantly, they are experienced not only in law, but the construction industry they serve. It is this experience that allows us to address our clients’ needs not merely from an academic and creative standpoint, but on a practical level as well.
We actively participate in the implementation and monitoring of legislation affecting our clients and their businesses, and serve as legal counsel to several trade associations. We understand business and we understand risk; communication is the keystone to our success. Despite the unique challenges posed by the construction industry, or perhaps because of them, we continue to thrive, moving forward with excitement and vision.
