About Craig
Biography
I grew up in Greensboro, North Carolina and am an active member of the city’s community. Prior to law school, I volunteered at the Natural Science Center, coached youth swimming, and helped build homes with Habitat for Humanity in Greensboro.
Since law school, I have used my education and love of the area to give back as I can, volunteering time with various locally-organized events geared toward helping the community, both with legal issues and through other community service.
In law school at Washington and Lee University School of Law, I was elected to serve on the Executive Committee, which presided over the honor court, among other duties. I participated in many school activities, ranging from intramural football to the Public Interest Law Students Association.
Now, I represent clients in employment matters including hostile work environment, wrongful termination, harassment, and unemployment benefits claims.

Prompt & helpful
Mr. Hensel advised me on a separation agreement promptly and with practical reasoning. He did not push to make a "case", but was clearly trying to assist me in a tough decision. I will recommend Mr. Hensel if given that opportunity.
