A skilled litigator, Craig keeps every client’s priorities at the forefront. When a case demands an aggressive response, he is tenacious. But that is not always the best path forward. Sometimes, the smartest, most strategic ­– and most economical – course of action is to settle. When that is the case, Craig keeps his clients’ goals front of mind and is adept at steering litigation toward an amicable resolution.

Craig previously served as Managing Partner of Fox Rothschild’s Exton office and on the firm’s Executive Committee.  He has also filled roles within the firm as Administrative Chair of the Litigation Department for the Exton office and as a member of the firm’s Partnership Advancement Committee.
