Bob doesn't just serve as your lawyer, he is also a friend.

I retained Bob Craig to provide counsel for me with my divorce, which was messy and ugly at times. He made me feel very comfortable and confident during the whole process. I always knew if I sent Bob an email with a question, I'd have the answer back extremely quickly. He kept me informed during... the whole process and I was glad to have him by my side. I not only had Bob as a lawyer, but I also consider him a friend now.

Diligent Defender!

Robert "Bob" Craig has not only proved to me that there is justice in the legal system, but he has also shown me that there is at least one attorney out there that doesn’t look at their clients as a source of income. Bob looks at his clients as friends and as a previous and now again current client I... assure you that you will feel the same way. Before I met Bob I had experienced the service of the “typical” attorney that never seemed to be available when those urgent situations arose. However, Bob has time and time again made himself available to me and everyone I have ever referred to him. I have never received anything less than gratitude from friends that I’ve referred to Bob as they were all in disbelief that an attorney this day and age would seemingly bend over backwards to care for his clients. He has taken on pro bono cases for the economically disadvantaged as well as restoring hope to many! In my first case with Bob as my legal counsel he was able to get me more time with my oldest little boy, and now with my current case (Divorce and Custody of my youngest son) he has gotten me in the drivers seat and I can actually sleep at night, as I know Bob has got this whole thing covered.

Good attorney

Mr. Craig genuinely cares about his clients, and puts in the effort to make sure they are treated fairly. He has a good grip on law and procedure, stays in touch with the other attorney in the case, and gets things done pretty quickly. A lot of attorneys have had to face the bar at one time or anothe...r; their rules are many and stringent, and lawyers are only human. Decide whether to hire him based on whether you feel he is the right attorney for you, not based on an old run-in with the lawyer's law. After all, that experience just might make him more compassionate toward you and your problems.

A lawyer that cares, goes out or his way, works countless hours for you!

I hire Robert Craig to help me remove my son from a abusive situation with his mother, also to protect his younger brother "my stepson" from the same situation. Bob worked nights and moved the world! I have full custody of my son and my stepson is with is father. And he still continues to follow up t...o make sure things are ok! A lawyer that can represent two fathers at the same time and win custody in my book is nothing short if amazing.

Wisdom, Compassion and Understanding all Rolled into One Experienced Attorney!

Bob is very compassionate and has been a blessing to me and my son. He has been able to help us with Family Court and dealing with my son's mother. His advice has been right on-time and we trust his knowledge and experience in these matters. He is highly proficient with his computer skills; that k...nowledge has expedited matters greatly with our case. I have no complains at all with Bob and will definitely use his services again, should the need arise.

"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.
