Look elsewhere

I retained Craig around October of 2017, this was not really that difficult of a case involving custody of my son. Yesterday I was forced to settle for pretty much the state minimum for 1 simple reason, Craigs pure and simple incompetence. Craig failed to listen when I requested to have a custody eva...luator, in fact the entire time Craig was my attorney (A total of $2,300 until I terminated him) I saw NOTHING from Craig or his office. I missed several deadlines because Craig failed to do as I asked and this cost me so much money and time for the next 11 years of my life. Craig ripped apart my family by NOT taking action and doing what I had asked. If you're looking for a family attorney, look elsewhere. To attest to this I had recommended a friend take Craig on for his custody battle as well, only to have the same results. Please, if you care about your children and want a good future with them look elsewhere so you don't have the same issue as I have..

Horrible experience

This lawyer and his paralegal are horrendous. I began my bankruptcy process in April 2017. I had a few credit cards to file. All in all, a SUPER simple case. I should have saved my $1000 in attorney's fees and filed it myself. Here it is August and it's still not done. Communication was little ...to nothing. Multiple messages sent before I would get an answer. I thought the point to hiring an attorney was to take the headache away from me and it would be a seamless process. I wouldn't recommend this firm to anybody. Very unprofessional. Didn't give a crap about my case, my time, or my money. Complete joke!

Wonderful Attorney

Craig and his assistant Brooke were extremely helpful in my divorce case. I was always informed on the status of my case and felt that I was more than just another client on their schedule. They really took the time to listen to my situation and advise me well. They did a wonderful job communicating ...with me and helping me to understand the process. The detailed invoices also showed exactly what was being billed and I never felt that I was out of the loop. They really connected with me and I would recommend Craig to anyone in need of family law assistance. Brooke was phenomenal and really made my experience even better. This team is honest, hard working (even late hours), and care about their clients.

Recommend highly.

Craig helped me through a very difficult time in my life with my divorce. He was knowledgeable at a time when I needed it most. He helped me explore a number of options on how to proceed, and where the potential "landmines" were. I would recommend him highly.
