When You Need Us, We’re Here
The Law Office of James E. Crawford, Jr. & Associates, LLC, (trading as JC Law), was founded in 1992 by attorney Jim Crawford. Mr. Crawford and the rest of our team of experienced attorneys represent clients in family law, criminal defense, personal injury and other legal matters. We have established an extraordinary record of success in handling these issues.
When I started practicing law I believed it was an absolute privilege to help people in their time of need. I still believe that with all my heart. I require all the lawyers who work in this firm to buy into one basic belief. That belief is, we are here to help you get through your time of need. My pledge is as simple as that. We will do everything in our power to represent you in an ethical, forceful, and proper manner. If you ever need to discuss any issue with me my door is always open and I will listen to your concerns.
– James E Crawford Jr.
From the very start, our objective has been to protect Maryland’s most vulnerable against a difficult-to-navigate legal system while helping them get their lives back. As our clients’ legal needs have grown, the law firm has grown with them to provide the same level of legal experience and guidance in every aspect of Maryland law. Today, we represent individuals and businesses of all kinds in nearly every legal issue they may encounter during their lives.
We are in a Maryland courtroom just about every day and have handled thousands of cases in district courts, circuit courts, U.S. District Courts, and in many administrative agencies. our attorneys have also successfully tried cases in just about every state and federal courtroom in Maryland.
Based in Linthicum Heights, our law firm represents clients in the Baltimore Metropolitan area, throughout Maryland and nationwide.
A Legacy Of Law
Mr. Crawford’s father, James E Crawford Sr., began practicing law in 1960 in Baltimore City, where he handled many of the same types of cases as his son does now. He worked for decades with lawyer Peter Angelos on many serious and noteworthy cases. He was very involved in Maryland’s political landscape until his death in 2008.
Our law firm is proud to carry on this legacy. Building on Jim Sr.’s success, Jim established this law firm in 1992 and has trained each of our experienced attorneys to work aggressively on each client’s behalf. In essence, because we are building on Jim Sr.’s work, this law firm has the knowledge, creativity and skills developed over two generations of practicing law in Maryland.

Core Values
The Law Office of James E. Crawford, Jr. & Associates, LLC exists to serve our Maryland clients. They are not an inconvenience, but the reason behind everything we do. Our clients deserve expert, passionate representation – and that what they’ll get from every member of our Firm.
Perfecting The Art Of Law
Since day one, we have been dedicated to perfecting the art of handling legal matters and receiving superior results. Jim has personally handled thousands of cases in his career and takes great pride in applying his trade to get the results you need, and the rest of our attorneys have cumulatively handled thousands more.
However, practicing law is not just an art — it is also about personality. Judges, prosecutors, lawyers, police and defendants all have a variable: the “human element,” which is inherent in any legal issue. The key to handling legal matters, from criminal defense to divorce, is knowing how to approach the case not just regarding the “law” but also the opposing parties’ weaknesses. Where is the weak link? Many times we can find that link, break that chain and conclude the case successfully.
Our law office uses the latest technology, investigators and other resources to gather factual and legal-based research evidence and information to get an edge on our opponents. We have found that it is imperative to move into action immediately when necessary.
It is this dedication that has led to Jim and other team members being looked upon as premier attorneys and receiving many referrals from colleagues and former clients. This is a point of pride for us.
Our team of lawyers understands that each case presents unique challenges and must be met with equally unique approaches. Therefore, JC Law commits to providing clients with:
- An overall professional and positive experience
- Respect and compassion during often difficult times
- Experienced attorneys with a deep understanding of the judicial system and every aspect of Maryland law
- Zealous legal representation to champion your best interests at every turn
JC Law utilizes the Perfect Client Legal & Financial Lifecycle. We created and perfected this lifecycle to provide clients’ with a clear roadmap of what they should expect during their case. See each step of the process below:
