Sam Walters recommends Craig. "He is a cyclist and a MD personal injury lawyer who also has experience with cycling related cases. I've known him since 1986 and he is very intelligent, conscientious, honest, and dedicated to his clients' cases. I say all this from the perspective of a fellow lawyer. Though I know a good bit about bicycling law, I don't actively practice personal injury law. Without a doubt, Craig would be the lawyer I would call if this had happened to me."
