No higher calling exists than the representation of the individual against the government. Whether it be in the context of a person acused of a crime by the government or that of a civil lawsuit where an individual alleges the deprivation of their Constitutional rights by the government. My commitment is the same. It is a privlege to
represent the individual and NEVER the government.
I'm steadfastly committed to the protection of individual liberties and to the protection of my fellow citizens from government oppression of any kind. Indeed, the combined sacrafices of those who came before us, be they the radical and rebellious creators of our Declaration of Independence or the civil rights leaders of not to long ago. The thing that makes us great and the purpose of their sacrafices are rights we all enjoy.
And so when the government describes one of my clients as a criminal, I remind the government that "their criminal" is my Revolutionary!

Beat the case!
Awesome lawyer fixed my problems. Mr. Tank has beat a number of cases for me in Wayne, Macomb and Saint Clair counties. I’d recommend him to anyone who is facing serious criminal charges.

Did superlative work for my daughter
Excellent work all charges were dismissed. I’m most appreciative of the work he performed as well as how he was able to expedite things through the Lansing court system prior to the end of the school year.

Mr. Tank Saved Me from Prison! I am responding also to the post from "anonymous" titled "don't do it" from 2/14/2020
Hello Annonymous. I am writing this because I was looking for Mr. Tank's phone number on Avvo so my friend could hire him for a drunk driving case and started reading these ratings for curiosity. I read your post "don't do it" posted 2/14/2020 and your situation resonated with me. Let me explain m...
"Craig and I have worked on a number of Federal cases together against corrupt governmental officials and their aggressive teams of attorneys. Craig has a scrutinizing mindset which enables him to easily separate the wheat from the chaff; there are many times when I have seen him shine the light of justice over a case and watched the wrongdoers scurry like cockroaches in an effort to escape; but Craig holds their feet to the fire relentlessly until justice has been achieved. Craig maintains a strong connection to the communities he represents and because of his dedication to police accountability, he continues to hold the respect and gratitude of many of his clients; criminal defendants and civil litigants alike."
