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

Excellence

Craig personifies the word competence. Not only does he do all of the background work that a good lawyer must do, but he also has an impressive courtroom presence. Quick on his feet and in possession of an excellent demeanor, Craig is a great choice for anyone in need of legal representation.

Great attorney

Im the general manager of a small Business of 50 employees.. I've had to utilize Craig's services on a few occasions. He's always available when I need advice, or litigation. He's certainly help me out of a few jams.. I've used different attorneys in the past and there always seems to be difficulty ...with availability, not with Craig. He's always been a professional.. I would recommend Craig to anyone who is seeking counsel...

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.
