Craig MacLellan...Best attorney ever!!!

Craig, is an unbelievable attorney. He went above and beyond for my family and I. I will refer him to anyone that is in need of an attorney. In my opinion Craig is not in it for the money, he is very personable and cares about the outcome of any situation. He is truly one of a kind.

Hire him

Craig was not only well thought and prepared but made an argument based on truth and solid ground that he could back up with precedent. I will only work with Craig going forward and will recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Excellent Attorney Who is Superb at His Craft

Craig MacLellan recently did an excellent job for my wife and I going up against a pet insurance company that was partaking in some particularly deceitful practices. Craig was very familiar with this area and made us feel quite at ease in our dealings with him. He took a great deal of time to carefu...lly review all facts and strategize a position with our best interests in place. He certainly knows how to effectively prepare his clients when facing a possible legal battle and his knowledge and experience are immediately evident. I would certainly recommend Craig for not only consultation, but anyone looking to hire a well versed and highly experienced local attorney who knows how to give his clients the utmost attention, necessary preparation, excellent communication, and overall highly professional representation who you certainly want on your side of the table in a stressful situation. Craig will exceed all expectations and is an excellent strategist. Highly recommend Craig and his firm.

an Attorney that is honest

Had an issue with a construction rental company that went of business and through Craig's advise and services we were able to find a financial solution that worked and he was more than fair on the price for his services, he was recommended by a close friend and again word of mouth is the best adverti...sement. I own a business that unfortunately runs into situations with clients and contractors so hopefully I don't have to use him soon but when I do i will be going through Craig

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
