About Benjamin M
Benjamin M Kurtz builds his practice on courtroom work and appellate filings. He combines a law school education and an undergraduate background in criminal justice with bar memberships across two states. The result is a practice that moves between trial courts and federal appeals.
Kurtz earned his Juris Doctor from the University of Baltimore School of Law in 2015. Before that he completed a Bachelor of Arts in criminal justice/pre-law at the University of Maryland, College Park in 2011. Those years framed his interest in criminal law and procedure and set the stage for a career focused on criminal defense and related litigation.
After law school he established professional ties in Maryland. He joined the Montgomery County Bar Association and the Maryland State Bar Association in 2016. Two years later he became a member of the Maryland Criminal Defense Lawyers Association. In 2020 he added membership in the Florida State Bar. Those affiliations reflect continued engagement with local and state bar activities and professional exchange.
Kurtz is admitted to practice in Maryland and Florida. He is also authorized to appear before the United States Courts of Appeal for the Fourth and Eleventh Circuits. That combination allows him to handle matters at the state level and to pursue appellate remedies in multi-jurisdictional cases.
At Kurtz, Peters & Associates LLC he is part of a team that handles criminal matters in state and federal forums. His background in criminal justice and his memberships in defense-focused organizations inform his approach to case preparation and litigation. He appears in trial courts and briefs appeals when necessary. Colleagues note his willingness to take cases beyond their initial phase and see them through argument or negotiated resolution.
Outside the courtroom he maintains connections to the bar through association memberships and continuing legal education. He has kept a practice that spans trial work and appellate filings, often handling matters that require coordination across jurisdictions. Kurtz remains based at Kurtz, Peters & Associates LLC, where he concentrates on criminal defense and appellate work.
