Bob is the best, responsive, creditable, knowledgeable, and on his game always.

Bob is the best, responsive, creditable, knowledgeable, and on his game always. I trust Bob with what he says he will do and he has always placed me and my kids first. I will always refer him to my closest friends. The man will always call you 7/24 (365) always. I have the greatest respect for him. ... Thank you Bob!!!

An Attorney who will fight for a Father's Rights

We cannot begin to express our gratitude for Bob Craig. My husband was in a situation where his ex-wife would not allow him to spend time with his children and his oldest child wanted to live with us. Bob was our saving grace! Bob is an amazing attorney who fights hard for Father’s rights. He fou...ght for fairness and won our case. Now my husband has primary custody of his son and is able to spend ½ his summers with the girls and get them on Holidays! We will hire Bob for all our legal matters, as he as an open door policy and continues to follow-up with us. Bob treats his clients as friends and not as another paycheck. My family has not stopped smiling since the ruling. We highly recommend Bob Craig for your legal matters….

Family Law

Robert Craig was an absolute saving grace for our family. We were way in over our heads trying to manage a family law matter on our own. When we found Bob we were emotionally spent and he brought not only hope back to our family, but exceeded the results we’d worked so hard to achieve! I would highl...y recommend him to anyone, anytime. We spent a lot of time and energy trying to handle a family law matter on our own, thinking that paying a lawyer would be expensive. The experience proved our ignorance of courthouse paperwork and left us with a cold dismal taste for the legal system. Then we found Robert Craig. His personalized approach with open door policy added a warmth back to our purpose for fighting so hard in the first place. I love that Robert Craig is not part of a large intimidating law firm that only communicates through paralegals and receptionists. All of our communication with him was direct through him, making us feel confident that he was in fact working for us and our cause. Robert Craig also has a huge advantage in having his office so close to the court house. So many times these legal issues boil down to filing the right paperwork at the right time. Being on the same block as the courthouse is an advantage that’s hard to compete with. With Sincere Regards, The Jarvis Family

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.

"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.
