About Nate Crowley

Nate Crowley is a no-nonsense defense attorney who has taken sixty criminal cases to trial over the past decade—a level of dedication and courtroom skill few match in the San Diego area. He represents clients facing every variety of felony, from white-collar offenses and financial fraud to drug trafficking, conspiracy, manslaughter and homicide. Having begun his career as a public defender, he also trained new attorneys in defender offices and has secured hundreds of favorable outcomes for people from all walks of life.

Every matter at Nate Crowley Law Office, PC proceeds under his direct supervision—no case is handed off to a junior colleague, and no client is lost in a stack of files. His calm, steady manner inspires confidence in even the most anxious client, while his thorough approach leaves no avenue unexplored. He defends clients in Federal Criminal Court, State Court and immigration proceedings, treating each situation with the personalized attention it demands.

In 2021, Nate launched his own practice after seven years as a public defender. His wife, immigration lawyer Tracy Crowley, was a partner when the firm operated as Crowley and Crowley, LLP before she moved on to the Immigrant Defenders Law Center. True to its founder’s belief that the law exists to serve—not to oppress—the firm remains committed to accessible counsel, fair pricing and unwavering advocacy for those who feel sidelined by bureaucracy.
