Best decision I could have made in choosing a Defense attorney!

Craig Vigodsky takes a no nonsense approach to your case and is interested only in the facts which will help your case. I will admit to you that he comes off very rigid at first but by the end of my experience with him and his AWESOME team Sharon and Claire I was completely satisfied and felt vindica...ted! He is definitely worth the $ especially if you are INNOCENT.! Trust him with your defense or divorce. He is Fantastic!

Superb representation!

I have worked with Craig Vigodsky for over 4 years. He has represented me in 3 different cases; domestic violence, family law, and dependency court (Dcf). Thru all of the emotional stress and worry, Craig has been my rock. He is extremely knowledgable in all areas of law, honest, realistic about w...hat to expect, and caring...genuine caring for my family. Over the last 4 years I've seen several attorneys in action for the opposing party, some better than others , but none nearly as knowledgeable or aggressive as Craig. There is a sense of feeling "safe" knowing he is representing me. I'm obviously not Craig's only client, but that is how he and his paralegal (Clara) make me feel. My calls and e-mails are quickly returned, if I need to be seen it's no problem getting in to see Craig. I can't thank Craig and Clara enough for their dedication to my case and giving me piece of mind in such a stressful situation.

Excellent lawyer

Craig was hired by my wife and I for a very difficult family law matter. He and his staff have proven to be extremely effective advocating for us and getting the results we needed in such a volatile case. Craig pays attention to detail and offers realistic honest advise- followed with aggressive, th...orough representation in the courtroom. Billing is well documented and fair.

At the worst time in my career, I was blessed with the best lawyer that exists!

At one of the worst times in my career, I was blessed with the best lawyer that exists. While protecting my dream job and new business venture, I ultimately misjudged the character of a business partner and needed the services of Mr. Vigodsky. Along wIth Mr. Vigodsky's staff, he handled my case with... the utmost respect and professionalism without making it feel impersonal. He explained things succinctly and put my husband and I at ease immediately at our very first consultation. His paralegal, Clara, also made me feel confident that the case was being handled promptly and appropriately. Every phone call I made was put directly through to her or returned immediately. She is an amazing contribution to his team. The case was handled expertly and efficiently and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for an honest, fair and respectful attorney.

Craig Vigodsky is a great lawyer

I was referred to Craig Vigodsky when I decided to file for divorce and it was the best decision I made to retain him as my lawyer. He kept me well informed of my standing and was quick to handle anything that came up. He made sure that I understood everything that we discussed and that everything I... was entitled to I got. He spoke to me as an individual and used terminology that I would understand. If there was anything that he had a question about I heard from him and was given enough time to respond and he always made sure all my questions were answered. He is a great lawyer and cares about his clients. If I ever need a lawyer in the future, I will always go back to see Craig Vigodsky because of how I was treated and how well he did on my case.
