Very helpful

Was so glad when Andre took over the case. Felt at ease with his explanations and trust he was being truthful.

Parole Questions

I wish I could give Atty Craig 10 stars. He was excellent at explaining the particulars of my son's case. This situation is difficult for any parent. I appreciate that he took extended time to answer my questions, and was quite patient. I highly recommend this law firm!

Rising Star

After consulting with Mr Craig, I found him to be competent, and resourceful: my only regret is that he was not practicing the type of law required for my case, He listened intently, and was as helpful as he could be, taking time with me even though, he was not able to take my case. I will take his... recommendation with confidence

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
