Benjamin Crump, a civil rights and personal injury lawyer known for representing the families of Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown after their shooting deaths, has started his own nationwide law firm with offices in Washington, Los Angeles and Tallahassee, Florida.

Following a longtime partnership at Parks and Crump alongside fellow lawyer, Daryl Parks, Crump issued a statement this week announcing the launch of Ben Crump Law, a new firm aiming to build a national network of lawyers. In light of Crump’s announcement, his former partner Parks told the Tallahassee Democrat that he plans to keep practicing law and also establish his own independent firm, likely focusing on injury cases.
