Amazing Professional

Where do I start? Craig was referred to me by one of his colleagues, and fellow law school student. I have worked with many attorneys over my 23 years as a Trooper for the Washington State Patrol, and new my career as an investigator for law firm in Florida. He is top notch hands down. Best of th...e best. Craig took my case, read it over throughly. He developed reasonable strategies, giving.my family and I realistic expectations of the my case and its possible outcome. No smoke and mirrors. Throughout the entire case, Craig and his legal spent countless hours working on my case, ending in the best scenario possible. He kept me informed, asked my opinion, didn't go rogue, and had my best interests at the forefront at all times. Craig always made himself available at anytime for my questions and and status of my case. I would recommend Craig 100% Not only do I trust Craig, both as a professional in the legal field, but more importantly, I consider him a true life long friend. I learned alot from Craig throughout the journey in my case. A great man. Wish there were more attorneys like him. Sean

"As a stalwart defender of the public interest and an active member of the legal community, Craig is a trial attorney who you can trust to get the job done right. With innumerable trials under his belt, he has the right tools to handle cases of any size or complexity. Outside of the courtroom and inside the classroom, his devotion to fostering the next generation of attorneys is an undeniable testament to his commitment to the advancement of the profession and public service in general.

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"Hands down Craig Sims represents all that a good attorney should be. Thoughtful, tempered in his approach, honest, and committed to justice, he epitomizes the ethical pursuit of a just result on every case he comes into contact with. I had the good fortune to work with Craig Sims early on in my career at the King County Prosecutors Office. I learned from him, as did many other attorneys in our office. He pours his heart and soul into his work. He consistenly got convictions on serious murder cases, and other serious crimes, dealing with complicated cases and problematic defendants. One of the things I appreciate about him most is the fact that he treats everyone in the system with respect. He has integrity. He is also active in the community, teaching, volunteering, and being a role model to others. I can't speak highly enough of Craig Sims as a person and attorney, his abilities, and his commitment to justice."
