Craig Trainor is an Excellent Federal Criminal Defense Lawyer!

When the FBI came to my door, I had no idea what was going on or what to do. I spent the morning calling lawyers in my area who dealt with cybercrime. I left voicemail after voicemail for around six lawyers and no one was available to talk. I finally found Craig Trainor’s website and gave him a call.... I explained my situation and he scheduled a meeting for that night. He took the time to explain the entire process of the case and made sure to prepare me for the best and worst-case scenarios. Craig went above and beyond to contact me as soon as he found out more information about my case and addressed ALL of my questions and concerns. He was exactly the type of lawyer I wanted to represent me and I’m so thankful he worked so hard to get the best possible outcome – a deferred prosecution agreement! – which is very rare in the federal criminal system for individuals because it results in the eventual dismissal of all charges. The best value that Craig brings is not only experience and fierce advocacy on your behalf but peace of mind in a scary situation. I highly recommend Craig because knowing that your case is in the hands of a professional of his caliber and judgment will be a huge weight off your shoulders!

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."
