Craig W. Baumann is an attorney licensed in the state of Minnesota and admitted to practice in all state courts as well as Federal U.S. District Court and the U.S. Court of Appeals. Craig began his career in the Woodbury law firm of Steigauf & Baumann in 1986 before starting his own law firm.

As an ethics investigator for the 19th District of Minnesota, Craig reviews complaints against area attorneys and reports his findings to the Minnesota Board of Professional Responsibility. After completing his first term as an investigator, the chairman requested Craig to serve a second term.
Mr. Baumann obtained his BA in Political Science from Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, and his Juris Doctor from Hamline University School of Law in St. Paul, Minnesota. He has resided in Woodbury since 1988.

Highly recommend Craig—reliable and knowledgeable attorney.
I’ve worked with Craig on several family estate matters over the past eight years. He’s highly knowledgeable, prompt, and consistently responsive. I would confidently recommend him to anyone in need of an estate attorney.
"I have referred several friends and neighbors to Craig for estate planning work. Each of them was extremely happy with the work Craig did for them and thanked me afterward for my referral. Craig is smart, diligent and professional and I endorse him without hesitation."
"I volunteer with Craig at a free advice clinic in Washington County so I have personally witnessed him give terrific legal advice to clients with complex legal questions. Craig has a lot of experience and I would endorse him in the area of criminal defense."
