Craig O. Asbill

Craig has represented me for many years or i should say has not represented me . Ive tried to settle my case with craig but nothing gets done. He said he would file for ss disability for me only to have me file it . When i made a mistake in submitting it , it was lost he said he would do it for me bu...t he either didnt or wont and it has been almost a year or more with nothing being done. He will not return any calls or emails. this has been going on for several years. his office phone # was disconected so i had to call the lawyer he worked for when he was givin my case only to be givin some really bad news you never want to hear about your lawyer. i had to call the state bar to file a grivence and only then did i get his new number . he still has not returned any my calls. in my workers comp case he has given me poor advise which has led me to make poor dicisions regarding my settlement. ive tried so many times to contact craig with no response i have no choice but to find a new lawyer. I would recomend you NOT hire this lawyer to represent you. he will not call you back or respond to your emails, he will however have an excuse why he didnt IF you talk to him. ive even camped out at his office to try and catch him but he is so seldom there it is a waste of time and effort which to me seems to be the norm in trying to communicate with this lawyer . if you need a lawyer my advise is keep looking.

Mr. Asbill is very unreliable. He does not return phone calls or emails as promised. Client communication has clearly not been important to him. With outstanding bills being sent to collections, and no responses from his office, it leads one to become extremely untrusting of any lawyer. Unfortunate...ly, Mr. Asbill states he will do one thing, and then does nothing. He seems unclear on how to effectively do his job, which leaves the client either holding the bag (i.e. credit collections) or having to be the one to take care of it (i.e. make phone calls, send emails), which is supposed to be why the lawyer gets paid. Don’t get me wrong, he seems honorable in the beginning, as well as shows care and concern, but it quickly dissipates, so a word to the wise... go somewhere else, investigate your choice, and ask LOTS of questions. He has made no attempt to contact me or reply to my voicemails. There is always an excuse when he FINALLY follows up (i.e. illness, out of town, and even losing his paralegal). Okay, I understand illnesses happen. I understand being out of town, but seriously??? Unless he went to the African Congo with no WIFI, a simple email cannot take place? Is there no way to change the message for voicemail or emails to “Out of the office” anymore? It should not take three weeks to respond and then state “I was out of town last week.” The math doesn't add up. What happened the other two weeks? I have contacted the bar associations that Mr. Asbill is affiliated with in the hopes of jarring his memory as to why lawyers are supposed to be on the client’s side; hopefully, this will save others a lot of headaches. I would not recommend Mr. Asbill to my enemy, let alone people I consider my friends.
