Criminal Defense Overview

A Baltimore, Maryland, Criminal Defense Lawyer

After being charged with a crime, you are undoubtedly worried about what the future holds for you. Criminal charges must be taken seriously, but it may help to remember that being accused of a crime doesn't make you a criminal. Anyone can be falsely accused of a crime.

If you or a loved one has been charged with a crime, contact the Law Office of Patrick J. Crawford immediately.

I understand that there is a person behind every criminal defense case I handle. When you have been charged with a crime, you need an aggressive attorney with the determination and skill to fight for your rights and your freedom. I still believe in the founding principles of this country that you have the right to be represented by a well-qualified attorney who knows the law and how to present a strong defense to the court. As a licensed attorney, I am sworn to vigorously defend and represent you, and I take that oath to the bar seriously. I have successfully represented numerous individuals in their criminal and traffic proceedings in both federal and Maryland state courts. I provide high quality criminal defense services for a competitive fee. I have the experience, skill, and knowledge to represent you aggressively in order to protect your legal rights and your freedom.

I represent people charged with state and federal misdemeanor and felony crimes such as:

• DUI, drunk driving
• Traffic offenses
• Drug crimes
• Violent crimes, assault, domestic violence
• Sex crimes, prostitution, solicitation
• Fraud, white collar crimes, internet crime
• Theft, burglary, car theft, robbery
• Possession of stolen items
• Probation and parole violations
• Shoplifting, petty theft
• Juvenile delinquency matters
