Top Notch

Craig is truly one of a kind. He’s extremely professional, competent and a shark. He goes above and beyond for his clients. Because of his years of experience, he is well versed and great comprehension for the law. As a well respected attorney in Palm Beach County, he understands the financial chall...enges when faced with a legal matter. That doesn’t stop his passion for the law or hard work and or ability to represent his clients. He is trustworthy and a man of his word unlike other law firms who prey on those in need of legal services. I highly recommend him to anyone in need of legal representation. He will fight for you so before calling anyone else for you legal matters consult with Craig Lawson Esq.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"I have know Craig over 10 years. When a close family member needed representation I immediately called on Craig to represent them. Again when a close friend's son needed representation I did not hesitate to call on Criag. Graig is a great lawyer always getting the best results available. The other attorneys in the Criminal Defense Bar have the highest regard for Craig. On the other side the State Attorneys have Craig as an attorney whom they can believe with the highest ethical practices. Judges also know and respect Craig with his knowledge of the law and his high ethical standards. Craig is the best Criminal lawyer that I would recommend to my family and friends!"
