About Craig
I fight for my clients as I protect my own family!
April 2014, our triplet daughters were born. Words cannot describe how fulfilling they are. On April 1, 2015, their 96 year-old grandfather, John Newburger, flew in to meet his one year-old granddaughters.On January 1, 2020, John spent his 100th birthday with his triplet granddaughters and taught them to play billiards.

Prior to entering law school, I coached college students for competitive public speaking tournaments. One of those students, Armond Dunn, was disabled in a car crash. Armond was left with physical disabilities and his speech was impaired. When Armond Dunn qualified for the national collegiate public speaking championships, the Associated Press covered this “Miracle Kid” and his story became the subject of a national radio broadcast by Paul Harvey. The experience of coaching Armond Dunn, and all of the student public speaking competitors, ultimately motivated me to enter law school to strive to apply my communication background to the practice of law.
