It’s my sincere privilege to recommend Alex Craigie. His knowledge of employment law coupled with his professional but warm demeanor left me feeling confident in my choice of representation.
He was prompt in responding to any inquiries I had and always presented me with viable options and strategies. My case has been settled to my satisfaction.
I was referred to Alex through another attorney that was familiar with my case. The referring attorney is highly regarded and knew immediately who the best Employment attorney was for the job. Upon meeting Alex, I felt extremely confident and comforted hiring him as my attorney. His knowledge of Employment Law and explanation of the process educated me in an area that was very foreign to me. Whether you are an employee or employer I highly recommend Alex for your Employment Law needs!

Reliable and Knowledegable
We have consulted Alex a few times and we always leave the consultation clear, informed and with peace of mind. He knows his craft very well and he is very good at explaining it in understandable words. He walked us through the process we had to take in order to comply with the issue we are handling.

Knowledgeable, thoughtful and responsive
This is my first time working with a lawyer and found Alex to be thoughtful, knowledgeable, thorough, upfront and responsive. I reached out to Alex for his consul on a separation agreement and potential wrongful termination suit. I was recently terminated by my company and it was not a pleasant experience. Alex responded the same day I left a message and took the time to listen to understand my situation. He was upfront that he had more experience representing employers than employees and I appreciated Alex wanting to consult another lawyer regarding my situation. He empathized with me but capably explained things from a legal standpoint to me. He reviewed my separation agreement and helped me negotiate a better severance package. He was available and responsive via phone, email or text, and it was comforting to know that someone was watching out for my best interest throughout this whole process.

Highly recommend!
In my 30 years of professional work, I had never needed legal representation regarding an employer. After only one phone call with Alex at The Law Offices of Alex Craigie, I was no longer fearful or overwhelmed with my situation. During the entire legal process, Alex always updated me in a timely manner allowing me to focus on my family and my next career move. The knowledge I gained along with the end results of my case was very positive!

Professional, experienced, invaluable
Alex has always been available whenever I've needed his services for a client, which is pretty often, and I couldn't imagine doing business in California without his support. Operating a business in our state is extremely challenging with the laws changing so often and I highly recommend working with him.
