An Attorney You Can Trust

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 strate...gies. My case has been settled to my satisfaction.

Compassionate, Extremely Knowledgeable, Responsive

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 E...mployment 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 exp...erience. 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.

Avvo Rating

Our Rating is calculated using information the lawyer has included on their profile in addition to the information we collect from state bar associations and other organizations that license legal professionals. Attorneys who claim their profiles and provide Avvo with more information tend to have a higher rating than those who do not.

What determines Avvo Rating?
  • Experience & background Years licensed, work experience, education
  • Legal community recognition Peer endorsements, associations, awards
  • Legal thought leadership Publications, speaking engagements
  • Discipline Disciplinary information may not be comprehensive, or updated. We recommend that you always check a lawyer's disciplinary status with their respective state bar association before hiring them.
