True Professional

Craig has resolved several business issues for us over the years. I find him and his staff to be most attentive and efficient. When ever the need arises I don't hesitate to call on Craig. Most certainly a true professional !

Thorough Consultation

Even though a traffic infraction is outside of Craig's current areas of expertise, his professional legal experiences on both sides of the legal community enable him to advise with acumen on a wide range of issues. My consultation with Craig left me feeling confident with a concise plan of actio...n on how to approach the magistrate, and resulted in a positive experience as well as outcome. In summary, I remain grateful to Craig for taking the time to discuss a minor legal issue, and for doing so with courtesy, professionalism, and candor.

Attorney MacClellan Review

Attorney Maclellan is a phenomenal lawyer. He helped us with a Purchase and Sale, preparing the deed, closing for a house; everything involved in our real estate transactions. When there were issues that came up with clearing the title, he handled everything with ease and helped to keep everyone calm.... In addition to doing a great job, his customer service is fantastic and he was always reachable. Don't hesitate to hire him!

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.
