About Craig
Biography
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. Clients contacting Craig get the attention of an experienced attorney rather than a paralegal or legal assistant.
Craig has been recognized as an AV Peer Review Rated attorney by Martindale-Hubbell. This designation is given only to the top percent of attorneys in the United States. The AV rating indicates an attorney's top professional ability and superior ethical standards.
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.
