Blessing!
I had reviewed before when was going through a custody battle and a divorce with my ex husband, things since then got much difficult for me and long story short, Robert did not give up on me and got me head strong through that battle! I am forever grateful for the kindness and and the quickness and the work that he does as a lawyer, him and his wife are very down to earth and just real people, he is an outstanding well known lawyer through Alamance county and it was a pleasure and a blessing having him by my side helping me fight the battle I was going through in the court system, couldn’t have done any of it without them! Thank you both from the bottom of my heart for everything! Would definitely recommend to anyone going through a custody, child support, or divorce!

OUTSTANDING Lawyer!
Once again, Bob came to the rescue! My boyfriend was trying to find a lawyer to have legal documents drawn up and called a lawyer close to his employment. Weeks later, still no return call. I asked him if I can use my lawyer and he said sure. I lie to you not, Bob Craig had those documents drawn and ready for him to sign in 20 minutes!!! It’s so nice to know I have a lawyer who I can call at any given moment and he not only responded back, but produced the documents we needed! He is dependable, knowledgeable and prompt. I can’t tell you how many times I have called Bob and he has always been there for me and had my back! Bob Craig you ROCK!!!

I was completely lost before Robert Craig stepped into my life, he is beyond the best lawyer I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Mr. Craig did a phenomenal job with my case and helped me and my family find peace again. I would highly recommend Robert Craig to anyone in need of a professional, highly ethical, law abiding lawyer who is sincere, honest, and practice empathy every step of the way, he is responsible for shining the light bright again in my life.

Absolutely amazing!!
Mr. Craig has been my attorney twice for child custody. Both times I have been awarded everything asked for. Along with having a great and honorable judge, this man is a genius. He knows what he’s doing and I have no doubts in his abilities. Watching him cross examine and make closing statements is just incredible. I cannot say enough about Mr. Craig. I am so happy and thrilled. I would highly recommend him. You will not regret it.

Child Custody
Mr. Craig was an amazing attorney. He was very thorough and informative. He kept us up to date on everything that was happening with our case and stuck with us for 5 long years of child custody to come out on top and win. We are very pleased with Mr. Craig and would hire him again if we ever needed.

Child custody
Hands down the best attorney you can hire! He is very professional yet caring. He responded right away to all calls and texts no matter the time or if it was a weekend. Mr. Craig worked with me and made one of the hardest times of my life much easier! Words can never express my gratitude for the work he did to save my granddaughter from a horrible situation. I recommend him to everyone! Mr. Craig cares about his clients and their problems. He always made me feel as though my case was just as important to him as it was me!

We won sole custody of our granddaughter
Mr. Craig did an excellent job representing us our case for custody of our granddaughter. He was available for questions and concerns at anytime (nights, weekends even while on vacation) We could not have picked a better lawyer to represent us!

I got custody of my baby girl
Bob was a huge help from the very start. He talked me through everything and told me what to expect beforehand. I feel like I got the best I could have gotten out of custody with bob representing me. He answered all of my questions no matter how silly they may have seemed to me to ask. I couldn’t have asked for a better lawyer.

Top of the line
Bob, Is straight forward and doesn't play games. He is honest about what he can do if you are honest about what he is working with. He has earned my repeat business due to his professional and courteous service. . I ALWAYS make him my first recommendation, when someone is in need. His services go beyond what I have expected OR experienced in the past. He is a true fighter. When my family stands to loose the most he came through and saved our future he is like family. When all hope was gone he restored it.

Mr. Craig - Great attorney!
I hired Mr. Craig to help my daughter out of a sticky situation. He was upfront and honest about what could happen, so that we were prepared. Not only did he prepare us, he was ready as well, and represented us to the fullest extent. Very competent, tough, but also has a huge heart. Hard to find that combination in a person these days. He did what he said he would, and more. Would hire him again, without hesitation.

Job Well Done
We hired Mr. Craig to help us get our Granddaughter out of a bad environment and get custody. He was very frank and honest in how he dealt with us. He kept every promise he made to us and over delivered on many. Once we got into the courtroom he was very aggressive in how he argued for us and once everything was done it was obvious how big his heart is for those he helps!

Best Lawyer in North Carolina
Bob Craig is the best attorney in North Carolina! He's highly intelligent and will fight for his clients tooth and nail to get them the best result possible! He is honest and will always shoot you straight so you never have to worry about him promising anything he can't deliver. He doesn't like to lose so rest assured he will do everything he can to win your case! He represented me in an extremely difficult civil case and I'm so thankful I had him as my attorney! He never stopped fighting for me and I would never trust my case with anyone else! Bob genuinely cares about his clients and you'll never find another attorney like that!

Best move I ever made was hiring Bob Craig!!!!
My husband and I hired Bob to represent us in a child custody case. It was an unusual case and Bob was honest and upfront with us from day one. He is hard core and knows the laws. Most of the time he would have to explain things to me two or three times and even then if I didn't understand he would continue until I did. He listened to our fears/concerns and with great compassion held our hands through the entire process. Yes there were times where I didn't want to hear what he had to say to me and times where we butted heads but he never gave up and I will be eternally grateful to him for that. If I ever had to hire an attorney again, Bob would be my first call.
