Forever Grateful

I am forever grateful for Craig Haston and his team. My case was difficult, involving a family owned business, real estate and a very difficult spouse. Craig and his team were professional, extremely communicative, strong , as well as caring of the emotional toll it was taking on myself and my swee...t girls from my first meeting to the last. This was a difficult case, definitely not cut and dry . With the continuous support and strength of my Haston Legal team ,my daughters and I are peaceful, happy, protected, secure and doing better than I could ever have imagined. I fully recommend this law firm to those going through the difficult process of divorce. I am forever thankful and grateful to the Haston Team for their strength, knowledge and expertise in dealing with my difficult case.

Excellent! The best!

He's real. He's honest. Straight to the point. He's also very caring and approaches each case individually, which is more than can be said about a previous lawyer we worked with. From the beginning, I appreciated Craig and his associates stating the many ways our case could turn out, instead of sugar...coating and lying to get us to hire him. Craig discussed facts and possible outcomes, and did not promise anything that couldn't be delivered. Regarding the couple of negative reviews, Craig will state only reality and facts. Anyone who is on the wrong side of the law, or doesn't want to follow a good lawyer's advice, isn't going to like what an honest, ethical lawyer has to say. Trust Craig and the process...It works! The Haston Law Firm is highly recommended! We were very pleased with the work that was done and the outcome in our case!

Best LAWYER

Craig Haston is the best family lawyer. His staff is professional, understanding and detail oriented. Our family had a previous lawyer and we would make minimal steps each time at court. Once Craig was on our team we have made huge strides into protecting the kids. Craig is a family man and it sho...ws when you communicate with him on the children's needs. He truly wants to see your family move in the right direction and not living in the court room. Craig knows the law...... he knows what to prepare for and knows what angle to use to ensure that you are not living with a decree that makes it difficult to follow. Craig has respect from his peers and the Judges when he walks into the courtroom. Everyone in the room knows who he is and looks up to him. If you are on the fence on who to hire for a lawyer, you need to look no further than the Craig Haston Family Law Team.

Craig is the Best

When Craig became my attorney I was a DAD with Primary Custody. The Mother of my children never does what she is suppose to do and rarely showed up for visits. Today, I am Sole Custodial Parent and Craig has worked with us to protect the children until she can show that she is FIT to be a parent. ...Craig's team is professional and I would recommend them.

I wish I had wised up sooner

While I have no doubt that Mr. Haston is very qualified, and his staff seems very nice, I hired an attorney to accomplish something. Like many have said here, my initial consultation was full of hope. Once I paid my retainer though, my case was transferred to an associate that I can only assume was i...ncredibly overworked. I hung in there for a year, hoping we would accomplish something towards what should have been a fairly simply divorce (short term and no children), and spent a lot of money. I changed attorneys, actually got to communicate with the attorney I hired, and wrapped everything up in a few months. I wish I would have wised up sooner...

In fact, I have referred cases to Craig over the years with only positive feedback from the clients I referred.I endorse this lawyer without reservation."
