Craig has been in private practice for more than 30 years, focusing primarily in the area of tort, professional negligence, commercial, and business litigation, for the defense. His work has included malpractice defense on behalf of attorneys, physicians, pharmacists and medical groups.

Craig started our firm 21 years ago and we have grown, and have established a reputation of attorneys who will take their cases to jury trials when it is prudent to do so on behalf of our clients. Many attorneys claim to be litigators; we are proven trial attorneys. Our firm has offices in North Canton, Columbus and Youngstown, Ohio and we serve the entire State of Ohio. Craig is also a frequent lecturer and has authored articles and presented seminars on a wide variety of topics and issues. Craig is also an avid college football fan and he and his wife Pam have three daughters; Kate is a CPA with Ernst Young in Columbus, Corrin is in medical school at Ohio University and Christine is a pre-law major at The University of Kentucky. Pam and Craig also have two dogs, Vinny and Luca.
