"How does Ben Crump continue to get high profiled cases???"


  

          

Maybe I'm looking at this all wrong and he does seem sincere in his pursuit of justice, but he hasn't won a single one of these high profiled cases. Yet, he has become the go to counsel sought out by victim's families.

I'm just wondering how is he constantly getting this work and why?

You stay classy okayplayer!!

If no charges are filed that is between the government and the officers. He hasn't been defending/representing anyone in actual legal battles that I have heard, has he?

For the millionth time he's not a criminal lawyer, he hasn't "won" any criminal cases because most of the ones with police involvement never even go to trial. He's there for the civil case and gets a percentage off the eventual settlement. I think Mike Brown's peeps got 1.5 million, Eric Garner's fam got like $4mil.

I bet most times HE makes the call or flies out immediately when he hears about some shit going down.

real talk tho.. after seeing that "who killed Biggie or Pac special he had I can't see how but he keeps getting work.

;ets be real tho.. they getting paid regardless of the attorney most cases cause they know damn well they fucked up.

Horrible track record if so, I know, but that was my first thought...

As for why I imagine he does these cases pro bono, that has to help matters to grieving families.

and take a few minutes to READ and learn how the criminal justice system actually works so it can be changed instead of being so amped to run out all willy nilly and march and "protest" without any clear objective and we end up right back in the same place a few months later.
