Thousands Of Criminal Matters Favorably Resolved Since 1992
We have many years of experience representing individuals charged with everything from homicide to traffic citations. The experience we bring to the table is the key to a successful resolution of your case. I have been in just about every courtroom, including federal courts. My criminal trial experience and knowledge have accumulated over many years of tiling the fields of law.
My office staff has dedicated itself to perfecting criminal matters and receiving favorable results. I have personally handled thousands of criminal cases in my career and take great pride in applying my trade to get the results you need. Practicing law is not just an art – it is also about personality. Judges, prosecutors, lawyers, police and defendants all have a variable that includes the “human element” inherent in any criminal prosecution. The key to defending criminal prosecutions is knowing how to approach the case regarding the “law” and the weakest point of the chain that the state or federal government holds. Many times, we can break that chain and conclude the prosecution.
At The Law Office of James E. Crawford, Jr. & Associates, LLC, our history and results speak for themselves. My office uses the latest technology, investigators, and other services to gather factual and legal-based research evidence and information to get an “edge” on our opponents. I have found that it is imperative to move into action immediately when necessary. I’m very proud that I am looked upon as a premier attorney and receive many referrals throughout Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and DC.
Misdemeanor And Felony Defense
We have built a reputation as tough and thorough defense attorneys who understand criminal law. Both felonies and misdemeanors can lead to significant time in jail and a lifelong impact on your criminal record.
What we do, as your legal team, is bring our experience with the personalities in the court system. We build arguments designed to protect your future and your rights. We don’t give up on our clients and will do everything we can to pursue your freedom.
Federal And State Prosecution
Suppose you are already charged or believe you are under investigation by a state agency such as the police or the federal government. In that case, you must retain the services of a highly qualified attorney immediately. A prosecution can often be avoided or even resolved before arrest and or trial. The quicker we understand the facts, the easier it is to push your case to resolution.
It is also essential to realize that there are significant differences in how the federal government handles prosecution and how many county state prosecutors handle cases. The procedures are strikingly different and managed in an entirely different method. Experience and judgment are what is necessary to protect you or someone you know who is on the “radar” of prosecution on allegations.
The Law Office of James E. Crawford, Jr. & Associates, LLC, has a long history of successfully handling criminal cases. I know that being prosecuted can be a tremendous burden and unbelievably stressful not just for you but also for your family and loved ones. You need to have someone in your corner to understand the process and guide you through.
