Business 35%

I do both business law and business litigation. I help clients establish businesses, and also help them manage those businesses, working with both management issues and board issues. When a conflict occurs, I work with businesses to resolve the matter, through either mediation, arbitration, or litigation.

Posted by Rocky | May 20, 2016 | Hired Attorney | Debt Collection

Long distance legal help

From my location on the west coast I needed an attorney in Western North Carolina to resolve an outstanding debt. Samuel Craig was able to recover the debt with a minimal cost to me, as well as to the debtor. His negotiations, from my perspective, were smooth and succinct. He was respectful of all p...arties involved and was easy to reach and communicate with throughout the process.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
