Highly Recommend

I would highly recommend this law firm. I hired Craig Gillespie after my son was hospitalized for excessive fluid around his brain. He needed some temporary shunts placed to drain the excess fluid, which prompted a CPS investigation that seemed to never end and really never went anywhere. After a ...few months of police interrogations and misleading CPS statements and inaction, my wife and I hired Craig to represent us because we were told basically that since CPS assumed it was an injury that it would go to court. Craig was very responsive and sympathetic to predicament. He was knowledgeable in the area and very good at getting things moving. Knowing that CPS was pushing to get this in the courts and off of their plate and how ridiculous this case was, he could have easily let them place our case in the court system and started billing us for trial preparation, court costs, and trial fees. He didn’t do that however, he did the work to show them how ridiculous it would be to send this to the courts and pushed them to make the right decision. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Craig and am forever indebted for helping us through what has so far been the worst and scariest thing that has ever happened to us.

Detective Louis

As a retired N.Y.P.D. Detective it was very hard for me to find an attorney that I can trust. I asked the ASU director for a good Attorney that was very knowledgable . Someone that she can deal with. This is how I met Mr. Gillespie. Great results! The second time unfortunately was when my son ...was arrested for D.u.I. . I would of wrote a check for any amount. Mr. Gillespie advised us to save our money and plea bargain. Legal aid said this was very good honest advice, another attorney would of taken us to the cleaners with the same results.

Honest, thorough, compassionate yet aggressive

A short while ago, I found myself in the worst situation of my adult life, fighting a high level felony assault charge in Maricopa County. The facts of my case were not captured accurately and I was horrified/terrified, after learning how tough and uncompromising Maricopa county is. I had no knowledg...e of how to select an attorney, especially a criminal attorney. I've never needed one. I discharged two other attorneys prior to hiring Craig. There are a lot of salesmen and business men in this profession and finding one that you can trust is challenging. Craig is honest and he does not use scare tactics. He never promised me anything, except that he could help me. He responded to my emails/calls (availability is comforting). Craig showed up to court with me, always with his calming demeanor. He and his office treated me with me respect and dignity. He carefully reviewed every piece of documentation, communicated his findings to me, and responded appropriately to the prosecutor's office. He is well liked and respected amongst his peers in the court system. With his expertise, he negotiated my felony assault charge down to an undesignated disorderly conduct, which is now a livable misdemeanor disorderly conduct. The judge commented that my attorney did a beautiful job representing me. I highly recommend Craig Gillespie and his office. Thank you Craig!!!

Craig Gillespie is a great attorney....

I was very upset when I was stopped and charged with a DUI. Craig handled my case with dignity and truthfullness and far exceeded my expectations. I would and do recommend him to anyone seeking an attorney.

Excellent Law Firm!

Craig Gillespie handled my sensitive and complex case in a very prompt and professional manner. I had 6 misdemeanor charges against me stemming from a domestic violence incident. My lawyer constantly provided me with up to date status and vigorously fought the charges. The Craig Gillespie law firm... was able to DISMISS all charges WITH prejudice (meaning the charges can never be filed again). I would highly recommend the Gillespie law firm to anyone looking for an experienced attorney that cares about his clients.
