Awesome lawyer!

Mr. Craig was highly recommended to me. He was super helpful and did a great job representing my case. He got me everything I asked for!

The BEST Lawyer!!

I came across Bob just by searching for attorneys in my area after a couple of attorneys that were recommended to me did not return my calls. Not only did Bob call me back right away, HE was always the one to call or text me with updates. And it was within minutes of needing him. It felt great knowin...g that I had someone with so much experience on my side and ready to help at any given time. He is very thoughtful and has always shown a genuine interest in helping me. During one of the most stressful situations I have ever been through, he eased my mind, and helped me every step of the way. Still to this day, if I have a question, he is just a text or phone call away. I am forever grateful that those other attorneys didn’t call me back and I ended up with Bob. If you need a good attorney for a child custody case, search no more. Call Bob.

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 t...he 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!!!

Excellent lawyer!!!!

Bob was recommended to me by a close friend and I am so glad that I did hire Bob for a particular case for my husband. He is a wonderful person, extremely knowledgeable in his field and I would strongly recommend him and hire him again if needed.

"I endorse this lawyer.I have known Robert Craig for over 20 years. I have worked opposite him when I was an Assistant District Attorney and worked side by side with him as a colleague as an attorney in private practice. He is an excellent attorney. I state that without reservation. Mr. Craig handles civil cases, criminal cases and domestic cases. Whenever I refer clients I consider him first. I know that when he handles a case he will do so with great competence and compassion. In addition to taking great care in keeping his clients informed and prepared, he is a powerful advocate in court and an excellent negotiator out of court. He has my full endorsement."

Professional misconduct

This lawyer was disciplined by a state licensing authority in 2007.

Censure issued in NC, 2007

updated on 08/28/2008

This means the attorney did something wrong, but the Bar did not suspend the lawyer. Typically in this case the lawyer's poor behavior is exposed to the public in hopes that he or she will not repeat the behavior.
