Benjamin Crawford
Driven by curiosity and precision, Benjamin Crawford applies his honed research, writing, and advocacy skills to support clients through the Tucker Ellis Junior Attorney Corps.
Ben focuses his practice on litigation across various specialties, with a particular interest in white collar criminal defense and government investigations. As a judicial extern for The Honorable Solomon Oliver, Jr. of the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Ben gained valuable experience in conducting civil and criminal research and applying it to pending cases by drafting court orders and opinions. As an Ohio Certified Legal Intern under the supervision of a licensed attorney, Ben served as lead counsel in negotiating a favorable plea agreement that led to the dismissal of six charges against the client in Cleveland Municipal Court. Through these experiences, he honed his writing and legal research capabilities and better learned how to form strong arguments and, importantly, how to win them.
Outside of work he loves watching sports, playing the guitar, exploring the Cleveland Metro Parks, playing sand volleyball, and trying local restaurants with friends and family.
