Efficient and professional

I'm currently in an ongoing case with Brian Craig's firm. There has been miscommunications in the past that Mr. Craig has quickly rectified once my issues were brought too his attention. The staff has been courtesy and professional. Mr Craig has devoted time and attention to details about my case, an...d he has kept me well informed. I'm very pleased with their services and would highly recommend Mr. Craig and his staff.

Poor Correspondence

I am currently a client with this firm for a personal injury case. The initial consultation was very professional and correspondence was efficient. However, for the past several months I have left messages and have received no correspondence from their office. My case is ready for trial, and I had to... find out while doing my own research of the online court documents that my case was marked closed at one point, and now marked inactive with no explanation given. I have been left to find the answers.

Auto Accident Attorney

I got in a wreck and was referred by a friend to Brian Craig. I tried dealing with the insurance company myself and was getting nothing. He settled the case and made sure I was compensated for what i went through was able to get my medical bills down. Brian seemed to genuinely care about my well bein...g and i would recommend him to anyone.

Great result for child custody

My wife disappeared with my 4 year son. Brian Craig helped reunite me with my Son and got me primary custody. It was a long road but Brian was with me every step on the way.

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.
