Based in Baltimore, Maryland, our law firm represents clients in the Baltimore Metropolitan area, throughout Maryland, Pennsylvania and Washington, DC. A Legacy Of Law Mr. Crawford’s father, James E. Crawford Sr., began practicing law in 1960 in Baltimore City. He handled many of the same types of cases that his son handles today. Throughout his career, he collaborated with lawyer Peter Angelos on numerous significant and noteworthy cases. He actively participated in Maryland’s political landscape until his passing in 2008. At our law firm, we take great pride in upholding this esteemed legacy. Leveraging Jim Sr.’s achievements, Jim founded this law firm in 1992 and personally trained each of our experienced attorneys to advocate assertively on behalf of our clients.

Judges, prosecutors, lawyers, police, and defendants all bring their unique perspectives to any legal issue.
