Best attorney around!
I had a very serious issue and needed the help of an aggressive, experienced attorney. I hired Craig Gillespie and he fought for me and got a better result than I could have prayed for. I don't hesitate when I say having Craig in your corner is by far the right choice!

"Craig is an outstanding lawyer. I've seen him in court and witnessed his results. The great reputation is warranted."
"Craig is an outstanding criminal defense attorney and I endorse his work, both as a former felony prosecutor and a private attorney that refers him cases. Craig is truly one of the best and if you are in need of criminal representation you should call him."
"I have known Craig for many years. He works hard and achieves impressive results for his clients. Craig is able to think outside the box and has earned a reputation as a top-notch defense attorney. I highly recommend him."
