History of James E Crawford Jr. & Associates, LLC

The firm was founded by James Crawford Jr. in 1993 in Baltimore, Maryland. Originally, it was just Jim practicing law. Because of Jim’s background in civil litigation and representing insurance companies, he began doing civil, criminal, and domestic work. He worked for insurance companies doing serious civil litigation such as wrongful death cases, major truck accidents, etc.

As a young lawyer, he had been groomed by other more experienced and well-known lawyers such as Patrick O’Doherty, Peter Angelos, Thomas Mankin, and, of course, his father, James Crawford Sr.

In 1993, he hired Dawn Basso as a legal secretary and she has been with the firm ever since, now serving as office manager. In 2007, he hired attorney Zack Groves who has since evolved into one of the premier domestic lawyers in the state of Maryland. He is recognized by judges, lawyer, scholars, and clients throughout the entire state.

Over the years, the firm evolved into a premier mid-sized law firm. In 2005, Jim purchased land and built an office off Route 695 in Arbutus, making it the home base for the firm. Since that time, the firm has expanded to include seven lawyers and a total of 14 staff members. We primarily handle criminal matters, domestic and family matters, and civil litigation.
