Biography

Darlina Crowder has been a powerhouse in the Texas legal scene since 2000, and her track record of over 300 acquittals says everything you need to know about her tenacity. With a background in psychology, she brings a deep understanding of human behavior to the courtroom, which was pivotal in high-profile cases like the Lisa Diaz capital murder trial. That case drew national attention, but Darlina stayed focused, ultimately securing a not-guilty verdict by reason of insanity. She isn't just a trial lawyer, though; she’s also served as an Associate Judge in Collin County, presiding over mental health hearings. This "behind-the-bench" perspective gives her a unique edge in anticipating how judges think. Her peers have recognized her excellence for years, naming her a Top 100 Trial Lawyer and a Texas Super Lawyer. You might have even seen her work featured in Texas Lawyer or caught her as a guest on Nancy Grace and The O’Reilly Factor. Whether she’s defending a complex felony or a high-profile case, Darlina is a fearless advocate who knows the state and federal systems inside and out.
