Hired Attorney 2022My experience with Craig was a shining star in a awful experience. From the first time I cold contacted him based on reviews to the last day, Craig was second to none. He was very honest, responsive, hard-working, attentive, polite, always available for questions, never accusatory or condescending, and is a genius at his practice. He's a miracle worker who got my 4 felonies and 1 misdemeanor dismissed, saving my future, job, and life. He's my rock star and I'll always be his #1 fan! Thanks, Craig!
