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.

Outstanding Legal Team

The Gillespie Law firm was recommended to us by our Estate Planning Attorney and we were exceptionally impressed with the overall legal & business acumen of the firm. We worked directly with Craig & Dave who were very up front with us regarding the legal aspects of our situation as well as effective...ly working through opposing counsel to successfully resolve a very complicated legal matter. Everyone in the firm from the front office staff to Craig himself was extremely professional and always accommodating, understanding, responsive and timely in their follow-up. We would absolutely use their services if we ever needed this type of legal representation again and highly recommend their firm.

Absolutely the Best!!

Craig took our case on at the last minute with less than 3 weeks to resolve an extradition case that he should have had 3 months to prepare and work. On top of that, 2 of those weeks he worked were Christmas and New Years holidays! Talk about taking it down to the line! Never heard a complaint fro...m him, he answered all of my phone calls and emails promptly, went to court multiple times with us and even at times listened to me loose it and start crying. What a professional!! In the end, all was completed successfully. With 3-4 days left, we found we needed another attorney in the opposing state. Let me tell you, he went on the internet, sent me referrals, made initial contact with that attorney who we also ended up hiring. All and all...I would recommend Craig Gillespie in a heart beat..you won't be sorry. If he says he will take your case, don't hesitate...hire him on the spot!! He will go the mile for you and then some. Thank you Mr Gillespie for all your hard work!

Thank you Craig, we appreciate you.

We can't thank Craig enough for all he did for our son. Our son had gotten himself into a bad situation and the results could have been a lot worse. Because of Craig, our son's sentence was minimal in the scheme of things. We are forever grateful to Craig and all he did for us. Being from California ...we had done our research through the phone, and interviews with attorneys to help us select someone to work with. Looking back, we feel so blessed to have found Craig. He was very experienced, professional, and paid a lot of attention to details. Craig was also very easy to talk to and work with. We always felt Craig was very calming to us and our son in such a challenging situation. He always made us feel like we were the only one's he was assisting. We would definitely refer Craig to anyone that was in need of excellent legal assistance. Also, a shout out to all of his staff that was always there to answer any and all of our questions in a timely manner. Thank's again, We truly appreciate you.
