Craig has previously served as lead counsel in heavily litigated adversary proceedings and contested matters involving objections to discharge, preference claims, fraudulent transfer claims, equitable subordination, motions for relief from stay, title defects, disputed proofs of claim and appeals arising from there. He has also represents clients in state court litigation matters including commercial litigation, debt collection and foreclosure actions.

Honest and reliable, Craig helps his clients through the bankruptcy process with knowledge and patience.
