Wonderful to work with!

Bob is wonderful!! I have worked with him for the past few years on different cases and recommend him highly. He is professional at all times but even better, he has a giant heart and is one of the most kindest and caring people I have met.

Attorney

Rob is an outstanding attorney. He has a huge knowledge and is very thorough. I have been very pleased in all he has done for me as well as my family. He really cares about his clients and makes sure there is understanding of the process. I would recommend Rob to anyone needing legal advise.

"THEY GIVE ME A BATTLE I GIVE THEM WAR" THANK YOU BOB YOU ARE THE BEST

When I had a proble about traffic I walked by his office and I took him like any other lawyer but when I saw him that he handle the offense like it was his I liked that when I had a problem about child custody I askd him if he handle child custody problems and he said YES I CAN ALSO TAKE CARE OF THAT..., he has such of good memory that he remembered me when he saw me and he took care of that, then I had a divorce problem wich he took care of that I could say many more problems about my family and friends that I recommended with him that he took care of them as well, but this blog doesnt give me the space to do it He is my only lawyer that I would always need because he told me this once "IF THEY WANT TO GIVE US A BATTLE WE ARE GOING TO GIVE THEM WAR" I really apreciate his work and I hope that this rating problems doent hurt you Bob as a great lawyer that you are and thank you for being there when I need you.

I highly recommend Bob Craig!

A year ago Bob handled my divorce, property settlement etc... currently he is assisting me with child support matters. Bob Craig is not only an excellent attorney but a friend as well. He genuinely cares about whats happening. He is straight to the point, confident, honest and very reassuring! Needin...g his services can be overwhelming but he has the ability to put your mind at ease. He always keeps in touch, responds to every email,phone call or text. He's not an attorney that's out to waste time unnecessarily to see how much money he can make! When he says "no worries" ..you have no worries!

A Great Attorney

I hired Bob to represent me in a divorce case, but he has proven to be willing to help whenever I need it. I never thought I would need an attorney, but I met him at the right time for several issues I've needed legal help with. I highly recommend him!

"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

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.
