Highly recommended

I am a litigation specialist at a Fortune 100 insurance company. I hired Craig to handle a very complicated general liability lawsuit. He is very thorough, intelligent, and proactive in his work and provides timely and consistent updates on all aspects of the case as it progresses. His attention t...o detail and respect for the client are what sets him apart in addition to his talents as a defense attorney.

Awesome Defense Attorney!

I am a Litigation Specialist with over 19 years of experience. I have worked with many defense attorneys over the years and I can honestly say there are none better than Craig West. He is extremely knowledgeable, he is always available (he works all the time), and he keeps me informed and provides... me with timely updates on each and every file. I am confident knowing that he is defending our policyholders. I highly recommend his services!

Awesome Attorney

Craig West defended me in an insurance litigation regarding a car accident. I was shocked when I received the notice of the law suit that have been filed against me. It had been almost 2 years since the accident. From the moment that I was notified of the case against me, Craig kept me up to date ...on what was going on. I received timely updates and never had to worry about what was going on in my case. When we went to trial, Craig made me feel at ease. He was professional, well prepared, knowledgeable and confident. He prepared me so I would not have any surprises. During court, he was professional and courteous with the witnesses and stuck to what was relevant in the case. He did not waste everyone's time with witnesses that were not needed. The defense witness he did arrange for was knowledgeable and well prepared also. I feel so blessed that he represented me in this case. I couldn't have asked for anyone better.

Excellant Defense Counsel

I have had many cases against Mr. West. I have always found him to be very knowledgeable in the area of law at issue. He is honest and ethical and always forthcoming about the defense issues involved. He works hard to reach resolution of the issues.

Opposing attorney

I frequently litigate cases in opposition to Craig. He is an excellent lawyer and a man of his word. I recommend him highly. I should know. I have lost to him more than once.
