The best decision i have ever made

I found myself accused of a crime that i did not commit. After discussing my situation with Craig, he assured me that he would do a thorough and complete job of representing me and he would never sugercoat anything. He let me know in no uncertain terms that he would be honest and forthright throughou...t the process. He did just that. After jumping through the hoops of our broken and deeply flawed legal system and watching while Craig built a case for my innocence, the charges were eventually dropped before trial. I cannot express how much the stellar performance of Craig and his staff means to me and my family.

Criminal Trespassing Charge

Our family needed some professional advice from a trusted attorney. We spoke to several people about their experiences, and after much consideration we felt comfortable with hiring Mr. Gillespie. We set up an appointment with him and continued working closely with him. He was very detail oriented a...nd knew exactly each step to take making our experience much less stressful. The results speak for themselves, as we have referred others to his firm. This is one attorney you want to have on your side. Thank you again Mr. Gillespie and staff.

Words can not express my gratitude!

When I found myself facing 4 felonies, I turned to Craig for help. He set me at ease right from the start and kept me there throughout the entire process. He answered every email, phone call, and question, very candidly and quickly. I felt calm in his presence and I had complete confidence when he to...ld me things were "tenuous at best." The end result in my case was a complete dismissal and I know I could not of gotten there without Craig's help. Honestly just writing a review does not express how much gratitude and appreciation I have for this man! Thank you from my entire family for helping me, us, through such a difficult time! If you find yourself in a situation where you need a fantastic criminal lawyer, I strongly encourage you to give Craig a chance, you won't be sorry!!!

MISLEADING AND DECEPTIVE

My experience with Craig was miserable. Initially hired him for a pre charge legal representation. He was clueless what was going on. He didn't know I was arrested till I called him. I spoke to many attorneys about how he handled this. They all confirmed he failed and did not deserve what he c...harged. Once arrested, he was paid to retain him. He does not disclose ahead of time what he is actually charging for. So any phone call or email he will charge for. Ive tried to get my money back, he refuses. In the end 6300 for nothing but lies and incompetence. Completely clueless every step of the way.

Hire Craig - Restore your certainty

Found detective card on your door! Choose Craig Gillespie to defend you. I contacted Craig Gillespie because his website showcased his many awards and experience in a wide range of criminal law including my problem. Unlike all other attorneys, I found no negative ratings posted from Craig’s clie...nts. There were many positive ratings about his fair price & truly caring about defending his clients. I was particularly moved by a testimonial stating that another attorney said their case would cost many thousands of dollars, but Craig handled it quickly for free; discovering and sharing that the prosecutor dismissed their case. I submitted a request for a free consultation on Craig’s website. In just 30 minutes Brenda called me back and scheduled it to my convenience. Craig didn't make me feel bad about my mistake. He is extremely talented and generous with his time. Craig gave more than just a free consultation. He called the detective leaving a message while I was there, insulating me from risky contact. Craig eased my worries letting me know the possible and likely outcomes; and even in the worst case scenario, his defense can improve on the situation. There was a reasonable chance that the matter could be resolved over the phone too. If it can be resolved quickly on the call back, Craig said he wouldn't even charge me. In my most desperate moment, Craig gave his time and expertise. The testimonials are true. Craig made multiple calls to the investigating detective, called me back two days later, and provided legal advice. So far no criminal charges have been filed or legal fees incurred. Don't talk to an investigator who is skilled at getting you to confess and very likely to overcharge you. All those years you have been saving, now is the time to invest in your life. You must get an attorney that you can trust, and can restore the certainty that you need. Thank you so very much Craig for giving me peace of mind and my wonderful life back.
