Experienced Criminal Defense Legal Services in Maryland
I am a trial lawyer, plain and simple.
— Attorney Jim Crawford
When people ask about my experience and approach to criminal defense law, I respond, "I'm a trial lawyer, plain and simple." I am in court almost every working day of my life, usually multiple times per day. Since 1992, I've helped thousands of clients and have handled thousands of hearings and trials in Baltimore, Catonsville, Annapolis, Bel Air and throughout Maryland.
I am a member of the Trial Lawyers Association of America as well as the Maryland Criminal Defense Bar Association. I am experienced in handling both minor offenses such as theft and traffic violations and serious offenses such as sex crimes that can result in lifetime registration as a sex offender. I recently handled one of the largest drug distribution cases in the country, involving drugs smuggled into the United States from China by Egyptian airline pilots.
