A Great Lawyer, Communicator and Civil Rights Advocate

When I was wrongfully arrested I’d never felt more helpless in my life. Thankfully my family retained Craig Trainor who rushed to court, sped up the process and got me out of jail. Mr. Trainor informed me of the legal processes I’d endure and explained how to properly approach the legal system. I fel...t relief knowing that I was going to be properly taken care of, he responded to my questions professionally and was readily available to take my calls. Mr. Trainor’s communication skills are excellent, and I felt assured that I was getting the proper attention my case required. Not only did he get the criminal case against me dismissed and then got me the financial compensation I deserved but he also restored my dignity. I’m grateful for Craig Trainor’s representation and enthusiastically recommend him for your legal needs.

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

Craig Trainor...

Craig Trainor represented me on a false arrest case in federal court. The police kept arresting me while I was disturbing my music and when the cases got dismissed we sued the police officers. Mr. Trainor was very attentive to details and had my best interest in mind throughout the whole case. He kep...t me updated and well educated as the case proceeded. Mr. Trainor made me feel very comfortable and confident that I was in good hands. Eventually we settled the case and I was very happy with the compensation I received for being falsely arrested. I highly recommend his services for anyone falsely arrested by the police. Mr. Trainor is an excellent false arrest and criminal defense lawyer.

A human lawyer exist.

I recently went through an incident with the NYPD. I was wrongfully arrested and thought you know thats just a part of life where I'm from. But rather than just accept it I retained Craig Trainor to file a lawsuit against the police officers who falsely arrested me. When I met with him he was very in...formative and patient with me. He worked around my schedule for our meetings. He treated me more like a person than just a client. He would call to check in to make sure things were going good for me and let me know of everything happening with my case. When offers were made he informed me of them. He also informed me that we did not have to accept it but it was still my choice. Even after the settlement was finished he called me to just check to see how things were going. Things you don't really expect from a busy lawyer. Overall he provided me a great stepping stone from a horrible experience that I hope I never have to go through again.

"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."
