Craig represents clients in the manufacturing, automotive, energy, construction, aviation, financial services, computer software and chemical industries, among others.

Craig’s appellate background positions him to earn favorable resolution on appeal for his clients. He has decades of experience litigating appeals in federal and state courts and has represented clients successfully on direct appeals and original proceedings. In his pro bono practice, Craig represents students and veterans in First Amendment litigation before courts at all levels, including the U.S. Supreme Court.
