Totally unprofessional !!!

This guy stood me up In court 2x , was late and never let me know - never showed up !!! , made me look like an idiot! He didn't return phone calls - he's very unprofessional! Took my $2500 and did absolutely NOTHING!!!!! Had to use a public defender in court, should have just used in the first plac...e!

DON'T EXPECT CRAIG TO REPRESENT YOU WELL

Craig was hired for a DUI case, solely because of a defense strategy he offered which I hadn't heard. However, he never stayed in contact with me, did not return calls or emails, and had someone else (not even an attorney best I can tell) conduct the DMV hearing. Not only did I not know about the h...earing, he did not subpoena the officer, my eye-witness, me, or did he discover/know the DA already rejected the DUI criminal case six weeks before the hearing. Clearly this was NOT the strategy he spoke about. There was absolutely no affirmative defense put on at the hearing, so DMV suspended my license for four months. Craig defended his "no actions" and would not return all of my money. I've spent four months filing my own appeals to get a new hearing. He earned nothing and should have kept nothing. The trustworthy score is only because... some... of my money was returned.

Worst attorney I ever used

For almost a year did nothing but, agree to continuances. never informed me of what was going and just said dont worry about it. Very hard to get a hold of. i regret ever hiring them. In there ad it says former D.A. I think they think they still work for the other side.

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.
