Highly Recommended

I recommend this lawyer, he has been with me through the hard moments of life. Through the grief of my son, and through the hard times with court, he not only helped me on my case, he was also a friend. Was truly blessed to have him as a lawyer, things turned out better than I expected. Not only his ...good at his job, his a great person. On behalf of the Muniz family thank you!

He is truly the best

I have used Craig a couple of times and he definitely is the best. He cares about his clients. He makes sure I understand what is going on. If I don't understand he takes the time to explain it to me. He definitely makes my life easier and I really appreciate it. Him and his team are a definition of ...good lawyers. If I ever needed a lawyer again (hopefully I don't lol) but if I did he is the only one I will use 100%. If you need a lawyer on your side and to have your back Craig is the one to go to no doubt. And the front lady Kendall omg she is so nice and very welcoming I loved calling and hearing her voice you don't get good customers now days but Kendalls Customer service is awesome. I truly appreciate Craig and his team. Thank you for everything you did for me.

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.
