Ben Crump

Ben Crump is a prominent civil rights attorney frequently representing families in cases alleging police brutality and racial injustice. He is currently in the news for his work on behalf of the family of Ronald Greene, a motorist who died in Louisiana police custody. The state has agreed to a $4.85 million settlement with Greene's family, a development Crump stated "helps illustrate how the truth must always come to light." Crump's firm is also involved in representing the family of Charles Adair in Kansas, who died after a sheriff's deputy allegedly knelt on his back. The family has filed a federal lawsuit and is demanding the release of video footage related to the incident. Crump's ongoing involvement in these and similar high-profile cases underscores his significant role in advocating for victims of alleged police misconduct and seeking accountability.
