Mediation. Craig walks in understanding the case’s unique contours and applying them to his decades of trial experience.. He is not a “number carrier” or bully.

Craig’s credibility, established through helping both plaintiffs and defendants, enables him to connect in all rooms. Clients feel heard as he listens to their story and perspective. He persists—for months if necessary—to get the deal done.. Arbitration. Arbitration should be faster, less expensive, and at least as fair as trial.

His decisions are well-reasoned and based solely on the evidence and law.. Recommendations. What people are saying:.

He does not quit. One of the best I have ever worked with.– M.M., Iowa Litigant. Craig went above and beyond to shepherd the parties to a resolution and early settlement in this case. When the parties stalled out several hours into the scheduled mediation, he did not give up and continued to mediate between the parties separately until we got it done.– J.G., Florida Attorney. Thought Leadership. Craig has published multiple articles on psychological aspects of mediation as well as insurance arbitration (the American Bar Association recently published his papers on applying empirical research to negotiations and how virtual mediation poses unique challenges for trust formation).
