Craig trainor is an amazing lawyer

Craig trainor is an amazing lawyer seemed to know everything about the law. Kept me informed about the whole process. He also prepped me so well for testifying I knew the prosecutor questions before they were asked although it was emotional for me not being in this type of situation before his work w...ith me made it kind of easy. Also he seemed to totally out class his competition no offense to those people over there working for the state. When he cross examined the state's witnesses he shined the most. First there was the cop who he proved not only totally botched what wasn't much of an investigation but then didn't call a superior on a case that should have been taken over by someone else with more experience in those types of cases. Then there was my accuser who he broke down beautifully and caught in multiple lies and when she stressed one accusation about the amount of time that elapsed he looked at the jury and proved to them how this was a lie and couldn't have happened. It was great to watch knowing Mr.Trainor was on my side. Finally there were the closing arguments. This is where he just outclassed his competition the state's lawyer seemed to be reading from a book of how to be a basic lawyer as opposed to Mr.trainor who seemed to be writing his own book of how to be the greatest lawyer. He stressed every detail that happened on the case that benefited me. The cops inability to get his job done. My accusers multiple lies , But mostly that I was an innocent man that is a good part of this society and convicting me would be a terrible injustice. Thankfully in the end of course my case was won I was acquitted of my charges all thanks to Mr.trainor I'm scared to think what would have happened if he wasn't my lawyer. I dodged a bullet and would recommend him to anyone he's great at what he does.

Federal crime lawyer | Jan 19

Relationship: Fellow lawyer in community

"When you’ve been arrested by the FBI or the DEA, you need an experienced, aggressive and capable lawyer. Few attorneys have the skills needed to handle federal criminal defense and federal civil rights cases alike. Craig Trainor is among those few. Because he knows the ins and outs of these complicated fields, I would refer such cases to him without hesitation."
