Craig Trainor is a fighter with a passion for justice and the constitution!

Craig Trainor represented me in Manhattan criminal court when I was falsely arrested for resisting arrest and disorderly conduct. My friends and I were causing no trouble, when a police captain approached us and asked us for ID (which I did not have on me). Instead of looking us up, we were arrested ...and charged with a crime. I spent 16 hours in police custody with absolutely no valid justification. Before meeting Craig, I thought that no one would believe me and that something this unjustified could never happen. However, Craig believed every word I said, and I knew he would fight for me from the very beginning. He explained that this sort of thing happened much more than the general public was aware. Besides getting my criminal case dismissed, Craig went the extra step. He told me that I had a strong case in my truthful story and that my constitutional rights were worth fighting for. He was right. He filed a notice of claim, and within a few short months (with minimal effort on my part) he negotiated an amazing financial settlement with the City of New York for what the cops did to me. Any questions that I had, he was more than willing to not only answer- but completely explain, no matter what time or day it was. Craig was more than helpful- he has a passion for justice and the constitution. I could never have imagined that such a good outcome would come from a horrible situation, but it was all thanks to Craig Trainor!

Best civil rights lawyer hands down!

Craig Trainor is a magnificent attorney. He took my case after being falsely arrested by NYPD. He helped me take action against the NYPD by suing them. He made my family and I feel comfortable from the moment he took my case. He was great at keeping up with me, and keeping me updated as to where my c...ase stood. He was also very confident in his work for all the right reasons. The man does what he was born to do. He is the most brave and confident lawyer I have yet to meet. If you would like to protect your rights and get the justice you deserve, I believe this is your guy. -Rafael, New Jersey

ATTORNEY CRAIG TRAINOR WILL FIGHT FOR YOU!!!!

Craig Trainor is a great guy to work with and great lawyer. He took my case after I was falsely arrested and mistreated by the NYPD when I was coming home from a club in Inwood. I retained Craig Trainor to take action against the police by suing them. We spoke a lot throughout the lawsuit process and... won the case by settling the lawsuit for some good money! If you want a lawyer who will fight for you, call Craig Trainor!

Highly recommended

I highly, highly recommend Craig Trainor as your lawyer for any personal injury lawsuits or litigation matters. When my daughter Grace was seven years old she was playing on the playground and fell off the monkey bars. The grounds were not maintained which made it difficult to land without injuring h...erself. She was frightened and couldn't move her arm, this fall resulted in a broken elbow. After a few opinions, Grace had to get surgery. Upon sharing this information, I was advised to seek counsel and wanted nothing but the best lawyer to get me through this. I choose The Trainor Law Firm. I can't say enough about their concern, advice and expertise. Complete professionalism also. Not only was Craig Trainor great with my daughter but he was an intelligent individual who took a hard line with the insurance company, called in a playground safety expert, submitted a legal brief outlining why the monkey bars and grounds were not properly maintained, and advised us that we should refuse to accept anything less than what my daughter deserved. The result was a substantial six figure financial settlement. I would highly recommend Craig Trainor to anyone who is in need of an efficient and aggressive lawyer. I am truly grateful to him for all of his hard work. Elena Curiale and Family Brooklyn, New York

"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."
