Couldn’t have chose a better lawyer

I couldn’t be more delighted that we chose Craig to be our immigration lawyer. His communication and hard work made everything so easy for us. From start to finish. Craig was in constant contact and completed all of our paperwork without any complications or stress. He followed up with ev...ery appointment and called to remind us of anything we had to do. I can’t recommend Craig enough. Please if you are in any doubt about picking a layer to work for you, pick Craig! You will not regret it. Thank you again for al your hard work Craig. We appreciate everything you did for us. Trish & Ryan

Great immigration lawyer, super nice to work with!

I could not recommend Craig enough! I went through a long (more than 6months) battle with two other different law firms trying to get my visa. After I met Craig and applied with him for my visa it got approved after a few weeks. He is very focused on his job and cares about all the details. Besides h...is professional skills and experience, he is nice and easy to work with- always picks up the calls and responds to e-mails promptly.

Great lawyer!

Craig is a colleague and I refer him cases because I know he does a great job and gets the results that clients want. He has worked with me on numerous cases and I highly recommend him!

Excellent service

Craig helped me get my O1 artist visa. He was available even out of business hours and was always patient with my questions. Everything went smoothly. Craig is not only a reliable choice as a lawyer but also a great human being in general. I recommend him without any hesitancy. Would hire again any t...ime. Thanks Craig!

Working with him for 10 years

I know Craig from various engagements in US and Germany. He knows a lot of both business and law systems. We did successfully collaborate with corporate clients: Setting up corporate bylaws, analysis of business agreements and other contracts. Craig's analytical skills helped to find soft spots. The ...clients enjoyed engaging him and he is a strong support to me.

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.
