Attorney Profile

Patrick J. Crawford grew up in Grand Rapids, Michigan. He obtained a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Notre Dame in 1996 and a Juris Doctorate degree, cum laude, from Notre Dame Law School in 2001. During law school, he studied for one year at Notre Dame’s campus in the heart of London, England, as part of Notre Dame’s London Law Program.  He is the kind of attorney Notre Dame strives to produce: "...lawyers of extraordinary professional competence who possess a partisanship for justice, an ability to respond to human need, and compassion for their clients and colleagues."

After graduating from Notre Dame Law School, he was an attorney-advisor for almost three years at the Surface Transportation Board, an agency in the federal government in Washington D.C. He left that agency in 2004 and started a law practice in Rockville, Maryland, representing individuals and businesses in the practice areas of criminal, domestic, and civil litigation. His practice has significantly grown as he has represented an increasing number of individuals and businesses in the suburban Washington DC area.

He is licensed to practice law in Maryland, the District of Columbia, and the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, and he is an active member of the Montgomery County Bar Association.

He finds his practice of law to be busy, yet enjoyable and rewarding. In his free time, he enjoys reading, skiing, riding motorcycles, camping, spending time with his family, and watching Notre Dame Football.
