Business clients of Mr. Panter have included healthcare providers, oil and gas companies, cosmetic and pharmaceutical manufacturers, investors, local business owners, and construction contractors.

Highly recommend him. Living out of State now, he made a real estate legal matter simply disappear. The process was painless and saved me thousands. He knows his stuff as far as real estate litigation is concerned. Thanks for the great job.

I have consulted and worked with Craig on several proceeding involving complex matters intertwining bankruptcy and environmental issues. Craig has a talent for attacking legal issues from different angles and spotting issues quickly. I particularly was impressed with Craig's research abilities. I would trust Craig to handle any matter on my behalf.

I have known and worked with Mr Panter for years. Without a doubt the best representation you can find. No one will make the process simpler to understand and treat you with more respect. For my business or my family there is only one choice.

I cannot even begin to say how much I appreciate Mr. S. Craig Panter. His expertise has changed my life! I had been widowed a few months... then the foreclosure notice came. I had learned there were unusual issues concerning the property, and, through a series of professional recommendations, I was referred to Mr. Craig Panter. After doing some research, Mr. Panter called back to say he thought he could help. And, help he did! Through a long, drawn out process, many hours of hard work (even on a holiday weekend), many documents being filed, and having to appear in court, he won the case!!! Even with his busy schedule, he has been informative and prompt to answer my many questions. I know I was led to Mr. Panter and I know God will forever bless him for his goodness to me. I can very highly recommend Mr. Painter. He was unequivocally the right attorney for me! BBA, Columbus, MS

Craig has proven to be the most effective, honest, hard working lawyer that I have ever worked with. He is extremely intelligent and picks up the issues of the case quickly and has always created a sound and successful plan on how to win the case. I have and will continue to recommend Craig to anyone seeking legal advice.

Mr. Panter is one of the smartest and most deliberate attorneys we have ever worked with. He really is brilliant and knows how to analyze a complex situation and explain it to you, or successfully argue a case in court. He provides answers and gets results. He also gets the job done and doesn't waste time...which is money of course. An interesting note is that through our interactions with Mr. Panter we believe he has a photographic memory too. Think about that.

Craig Panter has a mind for detail unmatched in other lawyers I've known and hired. He anticipates the other side's arguments, researches meticulously, and never stops building his case up until the time of trial or oral argument. I recommend him without reservation.
