Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. Craig knows what he is doing. He has great experience, and is a dedicated professional.
Ronald Burdge, Litigation Attorney on Jan 4, 2012
Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community
I endorse this lawyer. I have known Craig for years and have the highest respect for his knowledge of both the law and the courtroom. Litigation is learned more from experience than law school and Craig has excelled. And few attorneys know Elder Law issues as he does too. He cares about his clients and understands the value of helping them make good personal decision as well as good business decisions in legal matters. I highly recommend him.

Craig Matthews is a respected colleague with whom I have had the pleasure of working on a matter involving elder exploitation. He is a zealous advocate who leaves no stone unturned in his search for a remedy for someone who has been wronged. His skills extend to the entire spectrum of civil and commercial litigation.

Craig employed me as a clerk while I was in law school. He is an experienced, intelligent, and hard-working advocate for his clients. Highly recommended.

I endorse this lawyer's work, and I highly recommend Mr. Matthews! He is a top-notch litigator! I had the opportunity to clerk for him during law school, and now I refer my civil cases to him. I learned a great deal from Mr. Matthews in the short amount of time I was able to clerk for him. I also got to see the efficient manner in which he runs his office and manages his caseload. Recently, I referred an employment law matter to Mr. Matthews. In less than one month, Mr. Matthews had a wrongful termination reversed! Without extensive litigation! You would be well served to utilize Mr. Matthews' expertise!
