Craig learned the importance of hard work from a handful of family role models: one grandfather was a plumber, the other was a sheet metal worker. Craig’s father was a policeman, and his mother was a schoolteacher for children with special needs.
After earning a degree in Political Science at Rutgers College, Craig dedicated a year of his life with the Jesuit Volunteer Corps, a faith based organization serving those in need, and worked with the Law Project of Pennsylvania, helping attorneys provide legal services to marginalized and seriously ill individuals in Pennsylvania.
He then attended Albany Law School and obtained his law degree in 1997. His first job as an attorney was as an Assistant Prosecutor at the Somerset County Prosecutor’s Office. Working as an Assistant Prosecutor provided Craig with plenty of courtroom experience, but it didn’t take long for him to learn that he wanted to help people instead of sending them to jail.
So in 2000, he accepted a position with the firm of Lieberman, Ryan, Forrest and Voorhees. His work at the firm centered on Workers’ Compensation and Social Security Disability claims, connecting Craig to his roots and allowing him the opportunity to help workers in his community.
One of Craig’s biggest cases took place in 2008, when a trucker broke his neck in a motor vehicle accident. At first, the insurance company denied the trucker’s claim due to a driving while intoxicated (DWI) charge. But Craig knew that his client had no other source of income; he had a family to feed, medical bills piling up by the day, and hundreds of thousands of dollars still unpaid.
Craig fought for the trucker all the way to the New Jersey Supreme Court and eventually won him the care and the compensation he needed.
For this client and for hundreds of others, Craig served not only as an advocate but also as an advisor, helping them through their crisis and to get back on their feet.
Craig believes he’s done his job if he’s helped his client obtain the medical care they need, retain a sense of financial stability, and allow them to go about with getting on with their life.
Outside of the office, Craig, his wife, and his two teenage daughters enjoy spending time together traveling and exploring all that New Jersey has to offer.
